Joint evaluation of UV-Vis and IR spectroscopic results, supported by FF-TEM images, revealed that proper interaction of gold nanoparticles with EVs is crucial, and an aggregation or clustering of gold nanoparticles is necessary to obtain the SEIRS effect.

This study aimed to develop and characterize biocompatible nonwoven fibrous mats composed of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and zein encapsulating α-tocopherol for wound dressing applications. α-Tocopherol was nano-encapsulated in zein proteins using an antisolvent co-precipitation method, followed by its dispersion in PVA solutions. The resulting composition was then processed using a novel, scalable, and inexpensive solution blow spinning (SBS) process that offers higher throughputs to generate non-woven mats. The resulting fibers in the non-woven mats, ranging in diameter from 350 nm to 796 nm, demonstrate uniform morphology, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy validated the successful incorporation of α-tocopherol without altering the chemical structure of the PVA-zein matrix. Rheological assessments revealed Newtonian behavior and a decrease in viscosity with higher tocopherol content, enhancing the processability of the mats. Mechanical testing showed that increasing tocopherol content improved tensile strength, elongation, and Young's modulus. The mats exhibited a biphasic release profile with an initial burst and sustained α-tocopherol release over 24 h, fitting the Korsmeyer-Peppas model and hence indicating a diffusion-controlled mechanism. Cytotoxicity assays confirmed high cell viability (>90 %) and enhanced cell spreading, underscoring their biocompatibility. These findings suggest that PVA-zein/tocopherol fiber mats are promising candidates for functional wound dressing materials, offering sustained antioxidant activity and a favorable wound healing environment.

Molecular docking revealed that PAES demonstrated superior binding energies and interaction patterns with FB and TRF compared to cellulose triacetate (CTA), facilitated by specific hydrogen bonding within a water shell. CTA displayed weaker, hydration-sensitive interactions varying with pH. Imaging studies indicated that FB showed higher adsorption at pH 6 than at pH 7.2, predominantly in the middle membrane regions.
