Abstract The authors present the preparation procedure and a computational model of three‐layered fibrous scaffold for prolonged drug release. scaffold, produced by emulsion/sequential electrospinning, consists poly( d , l -lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) fiber layer sandwiched between two poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) layers. Experimental results release rates from are compared with recently introduced finite element (FE) models diffusive nanofibers to three-dimensional (3D) surrounding...
This study processes and characterizes propranolol hydrochloride/gelatin mucoadhesive buccal films. Two types of gelatin are used: Gelatin from porcine skin, type A (GA), bovine skin (GB). The influence on mechanical, mucoadhesive, biopharmaceutical characteristics films is evaluated. Fourier-Transfer infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis show that GA with hydrochloride (PRH) in the film (GAP) formed a physical mixture, whereas GB PRH (GBP) form...
Gelatin-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and gelatin-poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) mucoadhesive buccal films loaded with propranolol hydrochloride (PRH) were prepared by semi-solid extrusion 3D printing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects synthetic polymers PVP PVA on thermal mechanical properties drug release profiles gelatin-based films. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that hydrogen bonding between gelatin formed during In other blend, neither esterification nor...
In this study, in order to develop zein-based, edible, functional food-contact materials different forms incorporating sage extract (10, 20, and 30%), solvent casting electrospinning were employed. The study aimed assess the effects of applied techniques extract's incorporation on materials' properties. generated continuous compact films, where provided more homogenous surfaces. resulted non-woven mats composed ribbon-like fibers range 1.275-1.829 µm, while thinner branched fibers. results...
Abstract This study presented the use of SrTiO 3 /Y 2 O nanoparticles for reinforcement dental poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to enhance its mechanical properties important everyday denture base materials. The average crystallite size prepared was 19.9 nm. influence 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt% loading on absorbed impact energy, microhardness tensile investigated. Scanning electron microscopy composite fracture surface revealed multiple toughening mechanisms, with agglomerates directly included...
Purpose: Trichinella spiralis has evolved complex immunomodulatory mechanisms mediated by excretory-secretory products (ESL1) that enable its survival in the host. Consequently, ESL1 antigens display excellent potential for treating autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). However, whether timely controlled delivery of vivo, natural infections, could enhance therapeutic MS is still unknown. Methods: To test this, we encapsulated into biodegradable poly (lactide-co-glycolic) acid...
Tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanoparticles have emerged in the biomedical field as potential theranostic agents due to their unique properties, including biocompatibility. However, impact on immune response remains unexplored. This study aimed evaluate effects of inorganic fullerene-like WS2 (IF-WS2) nanostructures human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) vitro. The investigated several parameters IF-WS2 nanoparticles. Cytotoxicity was assessed by measuring cell viability, apoptosis, and...
This study examined the capacitive properties of hierarchical porous carbon materials in form flowers, which were produced through optimized thermal treatment synthesized particles polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer. The results show that retain their original morphological shape after carbonization and activation, along with a high specific surface area significant content nitrogen functional groups. Thanks to these properties, exhibit capacitance up 100 F g-1 6 M potassium hydroxide aqueous...
The electrospinning of Rhodamine B (RhB) -doped poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is presented as a promising technique for processing photo luminescent nanofibers. Nanofibers with concentrations RhB in PMMA between 0.05 wt% and 2.0 were studied. FTIR spectrum, fiber morphology, thermal properties optical the nanofibers investigated. smooth, bead- free nonporous obtained. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results revealed that Tg increased increasing Rh content up to 0.5 beyond...
The aim of this study is to investigate the influence cross-linking and reinforcements in gelatin on physico-mechanical properties obtained composites. gelatin-based composites cross-linked with citric acid (CA) were prepared: type B (GB) β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) novel hybrid composite GB β-TCP hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles, their structure, thermal, mechanical compared pure samples. FTIR analysis revealed that no chemical interaction between matrix was established during processing...
