However, more information should be gained about comparing properties of crosslinked and non-crosslinked PVA sponges and the impacts of adding other biopolymers such as sodium alginate (ALG) and sodium carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) on the wound dressing properties and drug release from these composite sponges. Here we have prepared and characterized PVA composite sponges loaded with deferoxamine (DFO), a drug with prominent wound-healing effects, to manage exudative chronic wounds. The impacts of crosslinking by freeze thaw cycles and adding CMC or ALG to PVA sponges were evaluated on morphology, mechanical strength, crystallinity, porosity, fluid uptake, water vapor transmission rate, water vapor loss, pH, blood compatibility, and controlling drug release. The produced sponges differed in crystallinity of PVA, pore shape, size, and interconnectivity. Crosslinked composite sponges showed better porosity than non-crosslinked ones and had higher porosity (>80%) with interconnected macropores in the appropriate size range for cell attachment. All sponges were hemocompatible with less than 1% hemolysis and had good physical integrity and flexible texture. The water handling properties were also affected by crosslinking. Although all prepared sponges showed high water absorption in the range of 450–650% within 6 h, the crosslinked sponges showed slower water uptake than non-crosslinked samples. Prepared sponges could control DFO release with 60% cumulative release over 24 and sponge composition and crosslinking influenced DFO release.</p>","PeriodicalId":738,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Science, Series A","volume":"66 4","pages":"491 - 504"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, hyaluronic acid grafted lutein (HA-<i>g</i>-lutein) was synthesized by hydrophilic modification of lutein by Steglich esterification. The grafted copolymer was self-assembled in water to form micelles and then loading unreacted lutein to prepare composite nanoparticles (denoted HA-lutein NPs). The findings from the FTIR, UV–Vis, and XRD analyses indicate that the graft copolymers were synthesized while preserving the structural integrity of lutein. Furthermore, the modification demonstrated efficient inhibition of lutein crystallization. TEM showed that HA-lutein NPs self-assembled into spherical micelles in water, the particle size of which was on the nanometer scale. The saturation solubility of HA-lutein NPs exhibits a 48-fold increase compared to that of free lutein. Then the cytotoxicity of HA-lutein NPs and the effect on in-vitro transcorneal permeation of excised-rabbit cornea, corneal hydration level, and in-vivo ocular irritation after topical administration of HA-lutein NPs in rabbit eyes were studied. The results indicated the ocular safety of HA-lutein NPs. The quantitative analysis of permeability parameters by HPLC showed that the apparent permeability coefficient and the cumulative penetration quantity within 360 minutes of the HA-lutein NPs group were 3.71 and 7.04 times higher compared to the free lutein group.

Sericin was extracted from defective cocoons (DC), at high temperature and pressure (HTHP) using an autoclave. The obtained aqueous solution was concentrated using three different routes until a final concentration of 2% (w/v) was reached. These routes include freeze-thawing (SS<sub>FT</sub>), rotary evaporation (SS<sub>E</sub>), and the dissolution of spray-dried SS in distilled water (SS<sub>SD</sub>). Films were formed from the three solutions obtained, which were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectro-metry (ATR-FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and their water absorption capacity and non-soluble fraction were evaluated. According to the FTIR and TGA results, the samples concentrated by evaporation or using spray-dried SS exhibited a more amorphous and lighter structural conformation than those found in F-SS<sub>FT</sub>. This finding suggests that the use of high temperatures for SS concentration promotes protein degradation and the formation of less ordered structures in SS films. The structural properties of the SS films were confirmed by the water absorption results. In particular, the major presence of crystalline structures in F‑SS<sub>FT</sub> seems to limit their affinity for water, favoring the non-soluble fraction in this sample. The marked effect of the concentration method on the structure and properties of SS films highlights the potential of this process in the design of more efficient manufacturing routes for SS-based materials that exhibit a distinctive performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":738,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Science, Series A","volume":"66 4","pages":"505 - 513"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
