Microwave-assisted synthesis of crosslinked ureido chitosan for hemostatic applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129648.

Abstract
In this study, we present a facile method for introducing hydrophilic ureido groups (NH2-CO-NH-) into chitosan using a microwave-assisted reaction with molten urea, with the aim of enhancing chitosan's interaction with blood components for improved hemostasis. The formation of the ureido groups through nucleophilic addition reaction between the amine groups in chitosan and in situ generated isocyanic acid was confirmed by FTIR, CP/TOSS 13C NMR, and CP/MAS 15N NMR spectroscopic techniques. However, in stark contrast to the glucans, the said modification introduced extensive crosslinking in chitosan. Spectroscopic studies identified these crosslinks as carbamate bridges (-NH-COO-), which were likely formed by the reaction between the ureido groups and hydroxyl groups of adjacent chains through an isocyanate intermediate. These carbamate bridges improved ureido chitosan's environmental stability, making it particularly resistant to changes in pH and temperature. In comparison to chitosan, the crosslinked ureido chitosan synthesized here exhibited good biocompatibility and cell adhesion, rapidly arrested the bleeding in a punctured artery with minimal hemolysis, and induced early activation and aggregation of platelets. These properties render it an invaluable material for applications in hemostasis, particularly in scenarios that necessitate stability against pH variations and degradation.

Improving Hydrophobicity of Collagen with Silica Nanoparticles: Probing a Noncovalent Approach. LANGMUIR : THE ACS JOURNAL OF SURFACES AND COLLOIDS 2023.

Abstract
Collagen-based materials have a wide range of applications in wound care, tendon repair, cartilage repair, etc. Improving certain properties such as hydrophobicity can diversify the application areas. In this work, we investigated the noncovalent interactions of suitably functionalized silica nanoparticles with collagen for the possibility of improving hydrophobicity. Functionalization on silica nanoparticles was achieved via Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or "click" reaction using surface grafting methods. Furthermore, we synthesized two different silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) functionalized with the fluorine-containing substrate or only with an aryl moiety (silica-g-4EMB and silica-g-ETFMB) for comparison. The functionalized SiNPs immobilized along with the model system trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline (HPA) (usually present in abundant quantities in collagen) have been probed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin relaxation to appreciate the influence of SiNPs on HPA. Furthermore, we effectively utilized a saturated transfer difference (STD) NMR experiment to measure the interaction parameters between judiciously functionalized silica nanoparticles and substrates of interest. In essence, such a detailed study on noncovalent interactions employing an arsenal of experimental approaches facilitated the immobilization of suitably functionalized silica nanoparticles to collagen and leather (where collagen is a major constituent), leading to improvements in hydrophobicity.

In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of decellularized cellulose scaffolds functionalized with chitosan and platelet rich plasma for tissue engineering applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 217:522-535.

Abstract
This study describes the fabrication of cellulose scaffold (CS) and cellulose-chitosan (CS/CHI) scaffolds from the immature endosperm of Borassus flabellifer (Linn.) (BF) loaded with platelet rich plasma (PRP). Thus, developed scaffolds were evaluated for their physicochemical and mechanical behavior, growth factor release and biological performance. Additionally, in vivo response was assessed in a sub cutaneous rat model to study vascularization, host inflammatory response and macrophage polarization. The results of this study demonstrated that CS and CS/CHI scaffolds with PRP demonstrated favorable physiochemical and morphogical properties. The scaffold groups CS-PRP and CS/CHI-PRP were able to release growth factors in a well sustained manner under physiological conditions. The presence of PRP in cellulosic scaffolds did show significant differences in their behavior when investigated under in vitro studies, where the release of diverse cytokines improved the cellular proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Finally, the PRP enriched scaffolds when studied under in vivo conditions showed increased angiogenesis and re-epithelialization with adequate collagen deposition and tissue remodeling. Our results suggest that besides the conventional carrier systems, this new-generation of plant-based cellulosic scaffolds with/without any modification can serve as a suitable carrier for PRP encapsulation and release, which can be used in numerous tissue regenerative therapies.

Abstract
In this study, Borassus flabellifer (Linn.) (BF) immature endosperm was decellularized to produce three dimensional (3D) cellulose scaffolds that can support mammalian 3D cell culture. To this regard, we first evaluated the chemical composition, nutritive profile and pharmacological activities of BF endosperm. The results demonstrated that the BF tissue represented a complex concoction of polysaccharides with intrinsic phyto-ingredients which provide excellent pharmacological properties. Furthermore cellulosic scaffolds (CS) obtained from BF was treated with chitosan to produce cellulose-chitosan (CS/CHI) hybrid scaffolds. The comparative investigation on both scaffolds exhibited adequate swelling with controlled porosity and pore-size distribution. The physiochemical characterization showed reduced biodegradation, improved thermal stability and enhanced compressive strength in CS/CHI group. Biological studies reported favorable adhesion and proliferation of fibroblasts with evident cellular penetration and colonization on the both scaffolds. Taken together, plant derived cellulosic scaffolds could be used as an alternative scaffolding material in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Diisocyanates, particularly toluene diisocyanate (TDI), are useful for the preparation of various polyurethanes with specific applications as leather-like materials, adhesives and insoles, etc. Blocking agents can be used for the operational simplicity and to reduce the hazards of TDI. In this paper, we reported the use of 3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-1H-pyrazole to block toluene diisocyanate (TDI). FTIR, NMR, thermogravimetric analysis, contact angle analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used for the characterization. The effectiveness of the blocking was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. The DSC thermogram showed that blocked adducts deblock at 240 °C, causing the regeneration of TDI, and causing the diisocyanates to react with polyols of different molecular weights, forming polyurethanes. The characterization of the polyurethanes was performed by infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and a contact angle study.

Abstract
Biofabrication by three-dimensional (3D) printing has been an attractive technology in harnessing the possibility to print anatomical shaped native tissues with controlled architecture and resolution. 3D printing offers the possibility to reproduce complex microarchitecture of native tissues by printing live cells in a layer by layer deposition to provide a biomimetic structural environment for tissue formation and host tissue integration. Plant based biomaterials derived from green and sustainable sources have represented to emulate native physicochemical and biological cues in order to direct specific cellular response and formation of new tissues through biomolecular recognition patterns. This comprehensive review aims to analyze and identify the most commonly used plant based bioinks for 3D printing applications. An overview on the role of different plant based biomaterial of terrestrial origin (Starch, Nanocellulose and Pectin) and marine origin (Ulvan, Alginate, Fucoidan, Agarose and Carrageenan) used for 3D printing applications are discussed elaborately. Furthermore, this review will also emphasis in the functional aspects of different 3D printers, appropriate printing material, merits and demerits of numerous plant based bioinks in developing 3D printed tissue-like constructs. Additionally, the underlying potential benefits, limitations and future perspectives of plant based bioinks for tissue engineering (TE) applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Polymer nanocomposites have been synthesized by the covalent addition of bromide-functionalized graphene (Graphene-Br) through the single electron transfer-living radical polymerization technique (SET-LRP). Graphite functionalized with bromide for the first time via an efficient route using mild reagents has been designed to develop a graphene based radical initiator. The efficiency of sacrificial initiator (ethyl α-bromoisobutyrate) has also been compared with a graphene based initiator towards monitoring their Cu(0) mediated controlled molecular weight and morphological structures through mass spectroscopy (MOLDI-TOF) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis, respectively. The enhancement in thermal stability is observed for graphene-grafted-poly(methyl methacrylate) (G-g-PMMA) at 392 °C, which may be due to the influence ofthe covalent addition of graphene, whereas the sacrificial initiator used to synthesize G-graft-PMMA (S) has low thermal stability as analyzed by TGA. A significant difference is noticed on their glass transition and melting temperatures by DSC. The controlled formation and structural features of the polymer-functionalized-graphene is characterized by Raman, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, NMR, and zeta potential measurements. The wettability measurements of the novel G-graft-PMMA on leather surface were found to be better in hydrophobic nature with a water contact angle of 109 ± 1°.

Abstract
We report rhodamine based fluorophore derivative for the stable dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which can afford better fluorescent label to carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The nanotubes-fluorophore conjugates are helpful in achieving stable dispersion in polar and non-polar solvents with intense fluorescence. The product was characterized through NMR, Mass spectrometry, Raman, XPS, SEM, AFM and Fluorescence measurements. The formation of SWCNT-g- Rhodamine was confirmed by the presence of D and G bands in Raman spectrum. The alkyl and aryl groups in the range of 14.8, 17.6, 38.1 and 96.3 ppm confirms the grafting of the nanocomposite through NMR. The morphological studies were carried out intensively for analyzing SWCNTs stable dispersion and the results from EDAX measurements shows the elements weight% of C: 35.09 and N: 30.1 concludes that SWCNTs are completely grafted onto rhodamine derivatives. The application of SWCNTs fluorophore conjugates were analyzed by cell viability studies using MTT assay and exhibits less toxic compare to other functionalized CNTs. The viability of percentage increases with decrease in the concentration of SWCNT-COCl with 91.7% of live cells even after 24 h at a concentration of 250 μg for SWCNT-g-Rhodamine. The fluorescent images obtained during viability analysis shows enhanced fluorescence for living cells in case of SWCNT-g-Rhodamine compared to SWCNT-COCl, which clearly shows the utility of decorating nanotubes with fluorophore. This research work further extends its application for molecular sensing and other biological process.

Abstract
Polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (PSLC) devices comprise a polymer matrix in an otherwise continuous phase of liquid crystal. The fibrils of the polymer provide, even in the bulk, virtual surfaces with finite anchoring energy resulting in attractive electro-optic properties. Here, we describe a novel variation of the PSLC device fabricated by reinforcing the polymer matrix with polymer-capped single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The most important outcome of this strengthening of the polymer strands is that the threshold voltage associated with the electro-optic switching becomes essentially temperature independent in marked contrast to the significant thermal variation seen in the absence of the nanotubes. The reinforcement reduces the magnitude of the threshold voltage, and notably accelerates the switching dynamics and the effective splay elasticity. Each of these attributes is quite attractive from the device operation point of view, especially the circuit design of the required drivers. The amelioration is caused by the polymer decorating CNTs being structurally identical to that of the matrix. The resulting good compatibility between CNTs and the matrix prevents the CNTs from drifting away from the matrix polymer, a lacuna in previous attempts to have CNTs in PSLC systems. The difference in the morphology, perhaps the primary cause for the effects seen, is noted in the electron microscopy images of the films.

Abstract
Nanomaterials decorated with polypyrrole were synthesized using two types of oxidants by chemical oxidative polymerization method. The interaction and influence of the addition of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles in polypyrrole (PPy) were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Thermal stability has been observed by using thermogravimetric analysis. Electrochemical properties were calculated by using Cyclic Voltammetry to study comparative analysis between samples. Particle size measurements and morphology were determined by Field emission transmission electron microscopy. All the nanocomposites exhibit better thermal and electrochemical properties than native polymer. The size of the polypyrrole particles were in the range of 50 nm to 60 nm.

Abstract
Polymer functionalized surfaces are important components of various sensors, solar cells and molecular electronic devices. In this context, the use of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formation and subsequent reactions on the surface have attracted a lot of interest due to its stability, reliability and excellent control over orientation of functional groups. The chemical reactions to be employed on a SAM must ensure an effective functional group conversion while the reaction conditions must be mild enough to retain the structural integrity. This synthetic constraint has no universal solution; specific strategies such as "graft from", "graft to", "graft through" or "direct" immobilization approaches are employed depending on the nature of the substrate, polymer and its area of applications. We have reviewed current developments in the methodology of immobilization of a polymer in the first part of the article. Special emphasis has been given to the merits and demerits of certain methods. Another issue concerns the utility - demonstrated or perceived - of conjugated or non-conjugated macromolecules anchored on a functionally decorated SAM in the areas of material science and biotechnology. In the last part of the review article, we looked at the collective research efforts towards SAM-based polymer devices and identified major pointers of progress (236 references).
