To address this, a diclofenac-loaded thermogel with anti-inflammatory agents is developed to target inflammation and improve drug delivery for corneal alkali burns. Thermogels are prepared by dissolving methylcellulose (MC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), adding diclofenac (DF), and storing the solution at 4 °C. The thermogel's temperature-sensitive behavior and injectability at 35 °C are assessed. Freeze-dried thermogels are examined using scanning electron microscopy. Rheological properties, swelling behavior, and in vitro release studies are conducted. In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility tests are performed. A corneal alkali burn model is established in rats, and different treatments are administered for 7 days. Eyeballs are collected for histological and molecular analysis. The thermogel formulation formed a stable gel at 35 °C and continuously released DF for 7 days. In vitro and in vivo tests confirmed the thermogels' excellent biocompatibility. The released DF promotes the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) and inhibits the expression of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This novel DF/thermogel offers an efficient, topical, and cost-effective approach with significant potential for treating corneal alkali burns.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"309 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400164","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bioinks for SLA often require synthetic polymers as supplements to ensure the structural integrity of the printed cell-laden constructs. High molecular weight (MW) poly(ethylene-glycol)-diacrylate (PEGDA) (MW ≥ 3400 Da) is commonly used to enhance the mechanical property of crosslinked hydrogels. However, the production of bioink with high MW PEGDA requires in-house polymer synthesis or the acquisition of costly reagents, which may not be readily available in all laboratory settings. As an alternative to high MW PEGDA, this research investigated the use of poly(ethylene-glycol)-dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) (MW = 1000 Da) as a supplement of a bioink to enhance the mechanical properties of the SLA-printed constructs. The successful demonstration showcases 1) the fabrication of 3D constructs with overhang and complex architecture, and 2) the cytocompatibility, with high cell viability of 71–87% over 6 days of culture, of the GelMA-PEGDMA bioink to enable cell-laden bioprinting. This study suggests PEGDMA as a viable supplement in the formulation of SLA bioink. The accessibility to PEGDMA will facilitate the advance in 3D bioprinting to fabricate complex bioinspired structures and tissue surrogates for biomedical applications.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"309 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400143","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on the development of tubular polymeric scaffolds, made of electrospun fibers, aimed to generate three-dimensional (3D) in vitro intestinal models resembling the lumen of the gut. Polycaprolactone (PCL) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) are used to produce tightly arranged ultrafine fiber meshes via electrospinning in the form of continuous tubular structures, mimicking the basement membrane on which the epithelial barrier is formed. Morphological, physical, mechanical, and piezoelectric properties of the PCL and PAN tubular scaffolds are investigated. They are cultured with Caco-2 cells using different biological coatings (i.e., collagen, gelatin, and fibrin) and their capability of promoting a compact epithelial layer is assessed. PCL and PAN scaffolds show 42% and 50% porosity, respectively, with pore diameters and size suitable to impede cell penetration, thus promoting an intestinal epithelial barrier formation. Even if both polymeric structures allow Caco-2 cell adhesion, PAN fiber meshes best suit many requirements needed by this model, including highest mechanical strength upon expansion, porosity and piezoelectric properties, along with the lowest pore size.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"309 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400123","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The device made of a sandwiched layer of poly(N- vinylcarbazole) and reduced graphene composite between asymmetric electrodes (ITO/PVK:rGO/Al) exhibits bistable resistive switching behavior. The performance of the memristor can be optimized by controlling the doped graphene oxide. To assess the device performance when it switches between ON and OFF states, optical characterization approaches are highly promising due to their non-destructive and remote nature. Here, speckle pattern (SP) analysis to this end is introduced. SPs include a huge amount of information about their generating mechanism, which is extracted through statistical elaboration. SPs of the PVK:rGO in different states in situ and examine the conduction mechanism is acquired. The variations in the statistical parameters are attributed to the resistance state of the PVK:rGO with regard to the physical switching mechanism. The resistance/conduction state, in turn, depends on the activity and properties of PVK:rGO memristors, as well as the additional non-uniformities induced through the variations of density of carriers.

This paper investigates the physicochemical, mechanical, and morphological properties of the yucca fiber extracted by three methods such as water-retting, traditional, and chemical methods. These analyses are designed to evaluate the extraction methodology and the hypothesis of the influence of harvesting location and growth conditions of the fiber. Various technologies are used, such as SEM, FTIR, XRD, and tensile tests. The fiber extracted by water retting is the strongest in the mechanical analysis with a strength of 690.48 MPa, followed by fiber extracted with the traditional method with 685.48 MPa, also 673.06, 657.94, 373.68 MPa for the fiber extracted by the chemical method using 3%, 5%, 10%NaOH respectively. The fiber obtained by the water retting method also has a higher chemical composition with 80.25% cellulose, 10.45% lignin, and 13.75% hemicellulose. The morphological characteristics are examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy. The crystallinity index ranged from 61.75% to 70.77%, and crystallite size from 1.73 to 2.04 nm is calculated from the XRD analysis.

Herein, the fabrication of a novel electroconductive poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA)/polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer nanofibrous scaffold containing graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets is described. The presence of PAMAM with amine terminal groups successfully aminolyzed PLLA. Interestingly, both PAMAM (5% w/w) and GO (0.5, 1, 2% w/w) not only contributed to reducing the fiber diameter, increasing the hydrophilicity and degradation rate, but also provided a nanocomposite scaffold with enhancement in electrical conductivity. By incorporating 1% w/w of GO, the nanocomposite scaffold exhibited optimized properties, including electrical conductivity (≈3.09 × 10−5 S m−1), crystallinity (≈ 47%), Young's modulus (≈16.95 MPa), as well as strength (≈1.58 MPa). This nanocomposite also demonstrated significant antibacterial activity of ≥ 90% against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Cellular assays confirmed acceptable cytocompatibility of the nanocomposite scaffolds containing GO and PAMAM, which can support the viability and proliferation of PC-12 cells. In conclusion, the presence of GO nanosheets alongside PAMAM dendrimers can synergically promote the properties of the prepared nanofibrous mats which can be used as potential electroconductive scaffolds for guided tissue regeneration.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"309 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400100","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142197211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
