Studies on the particle size control of gelatin microspheres

A series of gelatin microspheres (GMs) were prepared through emulsification-coacervation method in water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions. The influence of preparation parameters on particle size, surface morphology, and dispersion of GMs was examined. The studied preparation parameters include concentration of gelatin solutions, concentration of the emulsifier, w/o ratio, emulsifying time, stirring speed, and so on. The surface morphology, dispersion, and particle sizes of GMs were determined by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), SemAfore 4 Demo software, and particle size distribution graphic charts. The experimental results indicated that increasing the concentration of gelatin solution would increase the particle size of GMs. When the solution concentration increased from 0.050 to 0.200 g/mL gradually, the particle size increased correspondingly. The relationship between the two quantities was linear. On the contrary, increasing the concentration of the emulsifier would decrease the particle size of GMs. Furthermore, the particle size reduced quickly at initial time and slowed down latterly. With the increase of emulsifier concentration from 0 to 0.020 g/mL, themean diameters ofGMsdecreased from 17.32 to 5.38 μm. However, the particle size dwindled slowly when emulsifier concentration was higher than 0.020 g/mL. The excellent result was obtained with the condition of 0.050 g/mL of emulsifier concentration, 0.100 g/mL of gelatin solution concentration, 1/5 of w/o ratio, 10 min of emulsifying time, and 900 r/min of the stirring speed. The GMs prepared at this condition had the smallest sizes, the narrowest size distribution, the best spherical shape, and fluidity. The w/o ratio has the same influence on particle size of GMs as that of gelatin solution concentration. With the increase of w/o ratio, the average particle sizes increased linearly, and the surface of microspheres become smoother as well. It is supposed that w/o ratio can be used to change the diameters and surface morphologies of GMs. The emulsifying time has little influence on the mean diameters of GMs, but it affects the dispersion of GMs apparently. When the emulsifying time was shorter than 5 min, the GMs had bad dispersion. After increasing the emulsifying time to 13 min, the dispersion of GMs changed greatly, whereas the dispersion of GMs became bad again when the emulsifying time was longer than 13 min. According to the experimental results, 13 min was considered to be the best emulsifying time. The stirring speed has the similar influence on GMs’ morphologies as that of emulsifying time. Slow stirring rate made large size distribution and bad spherical shape of GMs; excessive stirring speed results in aggregation among GMs likewise. The smaller size distribution and better spherical shape of GMs were observed under the stirring rate between 500 and 1500 r/min by SEM. In conclusion, increasing the concentration of gelatin solution or w/o ratio would increase the particle sizes of GMs, increasing the concentration of the emulsifier would decrease the sizes of GMs at proper emulsifying time, and stirring speed would get the best spherical shape of GMs. These are the basic laws governing the design and manufacture of the GMs. __________ Translated from Acta Polymerica Sinica, 2008, 8 (in Chinese)     

Thermoresponsive submicron-sized core–shell hydrogel particles with encapsulated olive oil

Thermoresponsive submicron-sized core–shell hydrogel particles with incorporated olive oil were synthesised and studied. The microspheres having poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-methyl methacrylate) core and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) shell were synthesised by emulsifier-free seed polymerisation method. The morphology, particle size and distribution characteristics of the core microspheres were studied with different amount of initiator, monomer–solvent ratio and polymerisation time using scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering particle size analysis. The prepared core and core–shell microspheres were regularly spherical with average size of around 190.0 and 320.0 nm respectively and nearly monodispersed size distribution. Transmission electron microscopy study revealed the core–shell structure of the microspheres. The thermoresponsive transition temperature (T _t) of the core–shell microspheres was determined as 33 °C by optical absorbance measurement, dynamic light scattering particle size analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The release rate of olive oil from core–shell microspheres was accelerated by squeezing out the entrapped olive oil as the temperature was increased above T _t. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy study indicated the formation of copolymer.     

Polysaccharides as a source of advanced materials: Cellulose hollow microspheres for drug delivery in cancer therapy

Biocompatible hollow poly(methyl acrylic acid-co-N-isopropylacrylamide-co-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate)@cellulose succinate (P(MAA-co-NIPAAM-co-EGDMA)@CS) microspheres have been synthesized by employing uniform silica-MPS microspheres as template. Silica spheres were synthesized via Stöber method involving tetraethyl orthosilicate. The surface of resulting silica Stöber microspheres was modified using 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), a polymerizable silane coupling agent. The above reagent introduces carbon–carbon double bonds on microspheres’ surface. This strategy uses the copolymerization of the following monomers, methacrylic acid (MAA), N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAM) and the ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), which was used as cross-linker, aiming at fabricating the first shell. Distillation precipitation polymerization method was carried out with 2,2-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) as initiator in acetonitrile aiming at coating the inorganic microspheres with organic shell of the above-mentioned copolymer. In continuation, cellulose succinate and cellulose powder was absorbed through electrostatic interactions onto microspheres’ surface and the isolated product was cross-linked through esteric bonds formation. The cellulose succinate hollow microspheres were obtained after the silica core removal. The resulting spheres were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Dynamic light scattering was used to study the hydrodynamic diameter of the synthesized microspheres. The anticancer drug daunorubicin was loaded in the spheres, and its release behavior was evaluated at acidic and slightly basic pH conditions, aiming at evaluating its behavior at the healthy and pathogenic tissues.

Core-shell nanorods of SnS-C and SnSe-C: synthesis and characterization

The straightforward, efficient, solventless, RAPET (reactions under autogenic pressure at elevated temperature) approach was explored for the fabrication of core-shell nanomaterials. Carbon-encapsulated SnS and SnSe nanorods were synthesized by a one-step thermal decomposition of tetramethyltin in the presence of either S or Se powder in a closed reactor at 700 degrees C for 40 min, under their autogenic pressure in an inert atmosphere. The powder X-ray diffraction measurements provided structural evidence for the formation of pure orthorhombic phases of SnS or SnSe particles. The Raman spectroscopy measurements ensured that the nature of the coated carbon was semigraphitic. The scanning electron micrographs verified the 1D morphology of the formed SnS and SnSe chalcogenides, and their stoichiometry was confirmed by EDAX measurements. The HR-TEM micrographs distinguished between core and shell morphologies. The nitrogen gas adsorption on the surface of core-shell nanostructures was determined by BET surface area analysis. The plausible mechanism for the creation of chalcogenide cores (SnS or SnSe) with a carbon shell was elucidated.     

Preparation of hollow PPy (HPPy) microspheres via template methods with characterization of properties

Template-synthesis method was one of the important methods for the preparation of hollow microspheres. In present work, polystyrene (PS) microspheres were initially synthesized and effects of reaction conditions on the particle size and distribution of PS microspheres were studied. Then sulfonated PS (SPS) microspheres and spherical core (PS) /shell (polypyrrole, PPy) were synthesized by sulfonated and template method respectively. The method was that pyrrole (Py) on the surface of SPS microspheres were polymerized. Then PS (core)-PPy (shell) microspheres by dissolving PS inner core in N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), and hollow polypyrrole (HPPy) microspheres were obtained (Figure 1). Thereafter, HPPy microspheres were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, particle size analyzer, scanning electron microscope, thermal gravimetric analysis and KDY-4 four-probe resistance meter. The results showed that the size range of PS microspheres were 200～300 nm. HPPy microspheres have been successfully synthesized with good electrical conductivity and excellent thermal stability.     

Preparation of uniform silica/polypyrrole core/shell microspheres and polypyrrole hollow microspheres by the template of modified silica particles using different modified agents

Silica/polypyrrole (PPY) core/shell microspheres and PPY hollow microspheres were prepared by the template of silica particles whose surface character was modified with different modified agents.

Elemental analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were carried out to characterize the structure of PPY hollow microspheres. We investigated the effect of different modified agents on the surface character of silica particles and the effect of surface character of silica particles on the morphology of PPY hollow microspheres. The effect of reaction conditions on the size of core/shell particles and hollow particles was also studied.     

Cagelike polymer microspheres with hollow core/porous shell structures

Submicron‐scaled cagelike polymer microspheres with hollow core/porous shell were synthesized by self‐assembling of sulfonated polystyrene (PS) latex particles at monomer droplets interface. The swelling of the PS latex particles by the oil phase provided a driving force to develop the hollow core. The latex particles also served as porogen that would disengage automatically during polymerization. Influential factors that control the morphology of the microspheres, including the reserving time of emulsions, polymerization rate, and the Hildebrand solubility parameter and polarity of the oil phase, were studied. A variety of monomers were polymerized into microspheres with hollow core/porous shell structure and microspheres with different diameters and pore sizes were obtained. The polymer microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
