Fabrication Of Bilayer Nanofibers From Poly Xylitol Dodecanedioic Acid, Poly Caprolactone, Gelatin Biological Macromolecules And Surface Modification Via Spin Coating Of Capsules For Skin Wound Treatment

In this study, poly xylitol dodecanedioic acid was synthesized from xylitol and dodecanedioic acid monomers in a 1:1 molar ratio with Mw = 4038 g/mol using the polycondensation method. bilayer nanofibers with optimal morphology and average diameter of 271 70 nm were fabricated using electrospinning in voltage of 15 kV and flow rate of 0.5 ml/h, incorporating 15% PXDDA, 15% gelatin, and 20% poly caprolactone polymer solutions. this diameter of nanofibers was perfectly aligned with genetic algorithm in ANN model with a cost value of 0.0054 and R = 0.99 rather than RSM model. to enhance the stability of the electrospun nanofibers, glutaraldehyde was employed as a crosslinking agent. additionally, nitrogen doped activated carbon nanoparticles served as carriers for clindamycin, intended for spin coating between the layers of PXDDA/Gel/PCL nanofibers. Results indicated that an increase in capsule concentration enhanced bilayer nanofiber contact angle while swelling percentage progressively increased in optimal point of CD concentration over 12 hours. furthermore, drug release followed higuchi kinetics, exhibiting high correlation values for the best-fit model. biodegradability, antibacterial efficacy, cell culture assessments, and MTT assay demonstrated optimizing drug concentration improved cell attachment and viability compared to the control sample.

Synthesis of nanoparticles from carboxymethyl cellulose using one-pot hydrothermal carbonization for Drug Entrapment Studies

Porous nanomaterials have recently attracted a lot of attention due to various properties and potential applications. In this study, carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) were synthesized by the one-pot hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Urea was used as the nitrogen source for carbonization. The presence of urea in CMC solution for carbonization resulted in CNPsu reduction in the diameter of particles from 4 micrometer to 1 micrometer. Activation process at high temperature for both the above samples resulted in nanoparticles with diameter of 51 nm and 31 nm, respectively. The positive effect of presence urea and its activation generated different functional groups including C-N, N-H, and C -(triple bond)- N with increasing aromatic rings that probably may help entrapment of drugs into them. On the other hand, activation CNPsu (ACNPsu) has the most aromatic rings with the lowest hydroxyl groups with 84.66% carbon and 12.29% oxygen in its structures. ACNPs, and ACNPsu exhibited a type I isotherm indicating microporous materials with a high surface area about 552.9 m2/g and 351.01 m2/g, respectively. The high surface area was characteristic of activated carbons with their high adsorption capacity. Thus, the synthesized materials were characterized using SEM, TEM, DLS, BET, FTIR, HNMR, and TGA techniques. Finally, the encapsulation of clindamycin drug (CD) with positive charge in different types of NPs with negative charge was investigated for drug delivery in biomedical engineering applications.
