In this regard, hydrogels were synthesized by polyion complexation of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and chitosan (CS) grafted with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG-<i>g</i>-CS), which can maintain enduring antioxidant activity. We initially synthesized grafted chitosan with various grafting ratios using a free-radical grafting method. Polyionic complexes were formed by ionic bonding of the amino groups in EGCG-<i>g</i>-CS with the carboxyl groups in CMC. After lyophilization, a hydrogel with a porous structure was obtained. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses of the gel structures were conducted. The swelling properties and porosity of the hydrogels were affected by the grafting ratio. The hydrogel gradually released EGCG under low pH conditions owing to chitosan solubilization, resulting in hydrogel disintegration. Additionally, the hydrogels demonstrated cell adhesion and viability. This study suggests that bio-based materials have potential as pH-dependent catechin-releasing materials.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><p>Preparation of hydrogel using catechin-grafted chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":688,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Research","volume":"32 7","pages":"703 - 715"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140635888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of 30% glass-fiber-reinforced PK composites, the mechanical test results showed that C2 significantly improves the impact resistance (over 48.8%) and elongation at break (over 13.3%) values due to the enhanced compatibility between glass fibers and the PK matrix, attributed to the maleic anhydride functionality. The tensile and flexural properties of the 30% glass-fiber-reinforced PK/PA-6 blend composites were determined to be between the values of pure PK/GF30 and PA-6/GF30 composites, which were its constituent components. Notably, these blend composites displayed higher impact resistance (19.6 kJ/m<sup>2</sup>) and elongation at break (4.86%) values than the pure PK/GF30 and PA-6/GF30 composites. The SEM images suggested that C2 creates a better interface between glass fibers and the matrix, resulting in a more cohesive structure.

The large amount of biowaste generated causes serious problems on a global scale. The majority of waste produced is recycled, disposed of, or left untreated in landfills. Methane gas produced by organic waste in landfills contributes to the greenhouse impact and creates issues with leachate and odor. Furthermore, as these organic wastes decompose in landfills, toxic substances that produce unpleasant aromas and contaminate soil and aquatic habitats are discharged. The shortcomings of the traditional approach have put pressure on the waste management, farming, and industrial sectors to develop environmentally friendly ways to handle these biodegradable wastes with less pollution. According to the latest survey, the most generated biowaste was rice hull. Rice hull powder (RHP) needs some modifications for extensive applications as filler materials. By using a one-step hydrothermal process, the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were generated and mixed with rice hull powder. The modified rice hull powder (MRHP) was characterized by FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDX, and thermal analysis. Through the FESEM image, the presence of small spherical-shaped particles clarifies the presence of in-situ generated AgNPs. FTIR study reveals that there is no chemical interaction between silver nanoparticles and RHP observed while generation of MRHP. The Xrd image signifies the presence of a broad hump along with a few sharp peaks clarifies that the semi-crystalline nature of MRHP.

Consequently, four separate fluorescent complexes containing carborane were acquired. To confirm the nido-carborane presence within these complexes, the distinct peak at 2510 cm<sup>−1</sup> was detected using infrared spectroscopy as a first step. The photophysical properties were observed in phosphate buffer with different pH. The UV and fluorescence spectra of the four fluorescent complexes were very similar, with the maximum absorption wavelengths centered in the range of 773–789 nm and the emission wavelengths centered in the range of 796–811 nm. Subsequently, a stable and releasing complex L100-C-IR775 was screened through zeta potential testing and simulated release experiments in the gastrointestinal environment, and spherical shape was observed by transmission electron microscopy. AFM imaging showed a relatively smooth surface with a uniform distribution of protrusions. The L100-C-IR775 was then applied to tumor cell imaging, and it was observed that it could enter into three kinds of tumor cells, A549, HCT116 and HeLa, and distribute around the nucleus. Finally, it was shown by a cell proliferation toxicity assay (CCK8) that the compound inhibited HeLa and PC-3 cells by 50 and 51% at concentrations up to 10 µg/mL. In conclusion, the carborane fluorescent complexes prepared in this paper have good biocompatibility and demonstrate toxicity toward tumor cell proliferation. Furthermore, they have the potential to serve as a carbon borane anti-tumor prodrug.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><p>\u0000An acrylic encapsulated ionic polymer IR775@nido-carborane simulates release in the gastrointestinal environment, tumor cells imaging, and schematics of therapeutic mechanisms.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":688,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Research","volume":"32 6","pages":"525 - 540"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140199148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
