Abstract

The dual-functional nanostructures show great promise for biomedical applications, exhibiting selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells while also serving as a crucial component in textile screen-printing for smart materials. In this study, we successfully synthesized polyethylene glycol-hibiscus extract copper (II) oxide nanoparticles (PEG/HS/CuO NPs) using a simple one-step sonosynthesis method that leverages ultrasonic irradiation. Comprehensive characterization of the synthesized PEG/HS/CuO NPs was performed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The incorporation of PEG/HS/CuO NPs into guar gum photochromic solution (GP) caused a significant color change after 6 ± 1 min of UV light exposure and resulted in visible coloration on cellulose-based textiles after screen printing, providing an alternative strategy for smart fabrics. Moreover, cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated the selective toxicity of green PEG/HS/CuO NPs against cancer cells. In this study, the human colon cancer cell line HCT116, breast cancer cell line MCF-7, and normal HUVEC cells were examined. PEG/HS/CuO NPs NPs induced apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and down-regulation of CD44 antibody expression in MCF-7 cells, highlighting their potential as effective chemotherapy agents.

期刊介绍： Cellulose is an international journal devoted to the dissemination of research and scientific and technological progress in the field of cellulose and related naturally occurring polymers. The journal is concerned with the pure and applied science of cellulose and related materials, and also with the development of relevant new technologies. This includes the chemistry, biochemistry, physics and materials science of cellulose and its sources, including wood and other biomass resources, and their derivatives. Coverage extends to the conversion of these polymers and resources into manufactured goods, such as pulp, paper, textiles, and manufactured as well natural fibers, and to the chemistry of materials used in their processing. Cellulose publishes review articles, research papers, and technical notes.
