Cellulose–halloysite nanotube composite hydrogels for curcumin delivery

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were added to cellulose NaOH/urea solution to prepare composite hydrogels using epichlorhydrine crosslinking at an elevated temperature. The shear viscosity, mechanical properties, microstructure, swelling properties, cytocompatibility, and drug delivery behavior of the cellulose/HNT composite hydrogels were investigated. The viscosity of the composite solution increases with the addition of HNT. The compressive mechanical properties of composite hydrogels are significantly improved compared with pure cellulose hydrogel. The compressive strength of the composite hydrogels with 66.7% HNTs is 128 kPa, while that of pure cellulose hydrogel is only 29.8 kPa in compressive strength. Rheological measurement suggests the resistance to deformation is improved for composite hydrogels. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy show that the crystal structure and chemical structure of HNT are not changed in the composite hydrogels. Hydrogen bonding interactions between HNT and cellulose exist in the composites. A porous structure of the composite hydrogels with pore size of 200–400 μm was found by scanning electron microscopy. The addition of HNT leads to decreased swelling ratios in NaCl solution and pure water for the composite hydrogels. Cytotoxicity assays show that the cellulose/HNT composite hydrogels have a good biocompatibility with MC3T3-E1 cells and MCF-7 cells. Curcumin is further loaded into the composite hydrogel via physical adsorption. The curcumin-loaded composite hydrogels show a strong inhibition effect on the cancer cells. All the results illustrate that the cellulose/HNT composite hydrogels have promising applications such as anticancer drug delivery systems and anti-inflammatory wound dressings.

Photopolymerization of alicyclic methacrylate hydrogels for controlled release

Alicyclic hydroxy methacrylate monomer, o‐hydroxycyclohexyl methacrylate (HCMA), was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H‐NMR). Photopolymerization kinetics of HCMA was investigated via real‐time infrared spectroscopy (RT‐IR). Polymeric network hydrogels based on hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and HCMA were prepared by using the photopolymerization technique. Mechanical strength, swelling characteristic, and controlled release behavior of hydrogels with various feed compositions were studied. Poly(HEMA‐co‐HCMA) hydrogel had higher storage modulus than that of poly(HEMA) hydrogel as investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Acid orange 8 was used as a model drug for the investigation of drug release behavior of copolymeric hydrogels. Results indicated that increase in HCMA ratio in hydrogel composition could reduce the swelling rate and prolong the release time. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also utilized to study the surface morphology of hydrogels, and the results indicated that HCMA content influenced pore diameter on the hydrogel surface.

Swelling behavior, mechanical properties and network parameters of pH- and temperature-sensitive hydrogels of poly((2-dimethyl amino) ethyl methacrylate-co-butyl methacrylate)

In this study, swelling behavior and mechanical properties of polyelectrolyte cationic hydrogels of poly((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA), and poly((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate-co-butyl methacrylate) (P(DMAEMA-co-BMA)), were investigated. Hydrogels were prepared by free-radical solution copolymerization of DMAEMA and BMA using ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinking agent. Compression-strain measurements were used to analyze the mechanical properties of the hydrogels. It was found that increasing the amount of BMA comonomer in the gel structure increases the compression modulus of the material. The results of mechanical measurements were used to characterize the network structure of the hydrogels, namely the effective crosslinking density (. It was found that exceeds the theoretical crosslinking density (ν_t) calculated from the initial amount of EGDMA used for hydrogel synthesis. These hydrogels demonstrated dual sensitivity to both pH and temperature. It was shown that the pH-sensitive or temperature-sensitive phase transition behavior of the gels can be changed by changing the temperature or pH of the swelling medium at constant hydrogel composition. Increasing the temperature decreased the transition pH of the pH-sensitive phase transition. On the other hand, increasing the pH of the surrounding medium decreased the transition temperature of the temperature-sensitive phase transition. Incorporation of BMA in the gel structure has a significant effect on the transition point of the gel. Increasing the BMA content reduced the transition pH and temperature of the pH- and temperature-sensitive phase transition, respectively. The similar effect of increasing temperature or BMA content can be explained by the role of hydrophobicity in the phase transition behavior of hydrogels. Finally, the results of equilibrium swelling and compression-strain measurements were used to calculate the polymer-solvent interaction parameters of these hydrogels using the Flory-Rehner equation of equilibrium swelling.     

Studies on preparation and properties of NIPAAm/hydrophobic monomer copolymeric hydrogels

A series of thermoreversible copolymeric hydrogels with various molar ratios of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and hydrophobic monomers such as 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoropentyl methacrylate (OFPMA) and n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) were prepared by emulsion polymerization. The effect of hydrophobic monomer on the swelling behavior and mechanical properties of the present copolymeric hydrogels was investigated. Results showed that the equilibrium swelling ratio and critical gel transition temperature (CGTT) decreased with an increase of the content of hydrophobic monomer, but the gel strength of the gel increased with an increase of the content of hydrophobic monomer. Due to stronger hydrophobicity of OFPMA, the NIPAAm/OFPMA copolymeric hydrogels had lower swelling ratios and higher gel strengths than NIPAAm/BMA copolymeric gels.

A pH‐sensitive water‐soluble N‐carboxyethyl chitosan/poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogel as a potential drug sustained release matrix prepared by photopolymerization technique

Biocompatible pH‐sensitive semi‐interpenetration polymeric network hydrogels (semi‐IPN) based on water‐soluble N‐carboxyethyl chitosan (CECS) and 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were synthesized by the photopolymerization technique. pH‐sensitivity, cytotoxicity, morphology, mechanical property, and water state of hydrogel were investigated by a swelling test, methylthiazolydiphenyl‐tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), universal testing machine, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The drug release studies were carried out using 5‐Flurouracil as the model drug. The results indicated that the hydrogels were sensitive to pH of the medium and its wet state had good mechanical properties. The results of cytotoxicity and prolonged drug release characteristics revealed the suitability of the hydrogels as drug delivery matrices. The release kinetics was evaluated by fitting the experimental data to standard release equations, and the best fit was obtained with the Higuchi model of the hydrogel.

STUDY ON THE SWELLING BEHAVIOUR OF COPOLYMER HYDROGEL

The states of water in poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone-methylmethacrylate) and poly (N-vinylpyrroli-done-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogels have been studied by means of DSC. The effect ofpolmer structure on equilibrium swelling extent of water has been examined. It was found that thestate of water and the water content in different hydrogels were dependent on the kind of monomer used,the component of copolymer, the sequence distribution of the monomer unit and the degree of cross-linking (including chemical and physical) to a great extent. The equilibrium water content of thehydrogel may be regarded as the sum of the different state of swollen water contents of the hydrogel.Based on these, a semiempirical formula used to estimate the equilibrium water content of the copolymerhydrogels was presented.
