Bacterial nanocellulose containing diethylditiocarbamate bio-curatives: physicochemical characterization and drug delivery evaluation

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is a natural biopolymer produced by different strains of acetic acid bacteria. Biocompatibility, lack of immunogenicity, mechanical strength and crystallinity make BNC a highly applicable product for drug delivery and wound dressing. Previously, we demonstrated that diethylditiocarbamate (DETC), a Superoxide Dismutase 1 inhibitor, incorporated into BNC bio-curatives was effective for treating Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) lesions, a parasitic disease caused by Leishmania. We herein investigated the interactions between DETC and BNC. For this purpose, DETC was incorporated into BNC and thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction and Scanning electron microscopy were performed. Furthermore, in vitro DETC release and stability tests as well as degradation studies were also performed. Our results show that DETC is well incorporated into BNC, however it is short lived as suggested by degradation experiments. Future use of BNC DETC-based bio-curatives for the treatment of CL shall require further development in order to increase stability of DETC in the bio-curative.

Facile preparation and characterization of anatase TiO2/nanocellulose composite for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange

Anatase TiO₂/nanocellulose composite was prepared for the first time via a one-step method at a relatively low temperature by using cellulose nanofibers as carrier and tetrabutyl titanate as titanium precursor. The morphology, structure and element composition of the composite were characterized by SEM, EDS, TEM, XRD, XPS and UV–vis DRS. The specific surface area and thermal stability of the composite were investigated by N₂ adsorption–desorption and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively, and the band gaps of the prepared photocatalysts were calculated based on the UV–vis DRS results. In addition, the prepared composite was used for the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (aqueous solution, 40 mg L⁻¹). It was found that the composite had a good morphology and anatase crystal structure, and Ti-O-C bond was formed between TiO₂ and nanocellulose. The specific surface area of composite was increased and the thermal stability was decreased compared with the cellulose nanofiber. Moreover, the degradation rate of methyl orange was achieved as 99.72% within 30 min, and no obvious activity loss was observed after five cycles. This work might give some insights into the design of efficient photocatalysts for the treatment of organic dye wastewater.     

Using a fully recyclable dicarboxylic acid for producing dispersible and thermally stable cellulose nanomaterials from different cellulosic sources

We fabricated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) from different cellulose materials (bleached eucalyptus pulp (BEP), spruce dissolving pulp (SDP) and cotton based qualitative filter paper (QFP) using concentrated oxalic acid hydrolysis and subsequent mechanical fibrillation (for CNFs). The process was green as acid can be easily recovered, and the prepared cellulose nanomaterials were carboxylated and thermally stable. In detail, the CNC yield from the different materials was similar. After hydrolysis, the DP of the cellulose materials decreased substantially, whereas the mechanical fibrillation of the cellulosic solid residues (CSRs) did not dramatically reduce the DP of cellulose. CNCs with different aspect ratios were produced from different starting materials by oxalic acid hydrolysis. The CNCs and CNFs obtained from BEP and QFP possessed more uniform dimensions than those from SDP. On the other hand, CNFs derived from SDP presented the best suspension stability. FTIR analyses verified esterification of cellulose by oxalic acid hydrolysis. The results from both XRD and Raman spectroscopy indicated that whereas XRD crystallinity of CNCs from BEP and QFP did not change significantly, there was some change in Raman crystallinity of these samples. Raman spectra of SDP CNCs indicated that the acid hydrolysis preferably removed cellulose I portion of the samples and therefore the CNCs became cellulose II enriched. TGA revealed that the CNCs obtained from QFP exhibited higher thermal stability compared to those from BEP and SDP, and all the CNCs possessed better thermal stability than that of CNCs from sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The excellent properties of prepared cellulose nanomaterials will be conducive to their application in different fields.     

Biofunctionalization of anisotropic nanocrystalline semiconductor-magnetic heterostructures

Asymmetric binary nanocrystals (BNCs) formed by a spherical γ-Fe(2)O(3) magnetic domain epitaxially grown onto a lateral facet of a rodlike anatase TiO(2) nanorod have been functionalized with PEG-terminated phospholipids, resulting in a micellar system that enables the BNC dispersion in aqueous solution. The further processability of the obtained water-soluble BNC including PEG lipid micelles and their use in bioconjugation experiments has been successfully demonstrated by covalently binding to bovine serum albumin (BSA). The whole process has also been preliminarily performed on spherical iron oxide nanocrystals (NCs) and TiO(2) nanorods (NRs), which form single structural units in the heterostructures. Each step has been thoroughly monitored by using optical, structural, and electrophoretic techniques. In addition, an investigation of the magnetic behavior of the iron oxide NCs and BNCs, before and after incorporation into PEG lipid micelles and subsequently bioconjugation, has been carried out, revealing that the magnetic characteristics are mostly retained. The proposed approach to achieving water-soluble anisotropic BNCs and their bioconjugates has a large potential in catalysis and biomedicine and offers key functional building blocks for biosensor applications.     

Well defined thermostable cellulose nanocrystals via two-step ionic liquid swelling-hydrolysis extraction

Cellulose nanocrystals were prepared from cotton fibers by a two-stage method involving ionic liquid swelling treatment followed by hydrolysis under mild acid conditions. Controlled swelling of cellulosic fibers was achieved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) at 80 °C, while avoiding extensive dissolution of crystalline regions. Since the accessibility of the substrate was considerably enhanced, the hydrolysis occurred even under mild conditions, using up to 60 times less sulfuric acid than the traditional extraction methods based on concentrated sulfuric acid. The effects of process parameters on nanoparticle morphology, composition and stability were investigated. The individual rod-like nanocrystals, observed under field emission gun scanning electron microscopy, exhibited an average diameter of around 20 nm and a length ranging from 150 to 350 nm. According to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis, the surface of the so-extracted nanoparticles proved to be deprived of contaminating sulfate groups leading to significantly higher thermal stability with respect to cellulose nanocrystals extracted by traditional method in concentrated sulfuric acid.     

Preparation and characterization of nanocrystalline cellulose via low-intensity ultrasonic-assisted sulfuric acid hydrolysis

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was extracted from microcrystalline cellulose via low-intensity ultrasonic-assisted sulfuric acid hydrolysis process. NCC samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), particle size distribution (PSD) analysis, Fourier-transformed infrared spectra (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and rheological measurement. It was found that NCC yield reached 40.4 % under the optimum process of low-intensity ultrasonic-assisted sulfuric acid hydrolysis, while it was only 33.0 % in the absence of ultrasonic treatment. Furthermore, the results showed that the two NCC samples obtained from ultrasonic-assisted hydrolysis and conventional hydrolysis were very similar in morphology, both exhibiting rod-like structures with widths and lengths of 10–20 and 50–150 nm, respectively. XRD result revealed that the NCC sample from ultrasonic-assisted hydrolysis contained a small amount of cellulose II and possessed a Segal Crystallinity Index of 90.38 % and a crystallite size of 58.99 Å, higher than those of the NCC sample from conventional hydrolysis. Moreover, PSD analysis demonstrated that the former exhibited a smaller value in average particle size than the latter. In addition, rheological measurements showed that the NCC suspensions from the ultrasonic-assisted process exhibited a lower viscosity over the range of shear rate from 0.1 to 100 s^?1 in comparison with that prepared in the absence of ultrasonic treatment.     

Preparation of cellulose I nanowhiskers with a mildly acidic aqueous ionic liquid: reaction efficiency and whiskers attributes

Cellulose I nanowhiskers were prepared in relatively high yield (48 ± 2 %) by single-stage hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose with an aqueous solution of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([Bmim]HSO₄). This reaction occurred under mildly acidic reaction conditions with an [H⁺]/[AGU] ratio of 0.24 mol/mol, i.e., 2 orders of magnitude lower than with concentrated sulfuric acid. The nanowhiskers exhibited small width and width distribution and also smaller length than nanowhiskers obtained with concentrated acid. With a relatively low content of sulfur they also exhibited higher thermal stability than whiskers obtained with concentrated sulfuric acid. The lower solvating power of the aqueous ionic liquid compared to that of concentrated sulfuric acid likely contributes to the greater hydrolysis efficiency in the present system.     

A study of the mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of microcrystalline cellulose particles prepared from cotton slivers using different acid concentrations

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) particles are mostly prepared by acid hydrolysis of various agro sources. Acid hydrolysis is usually carried out with high concentration (64 wt%) of sulfuric acid. Here, an attempt has been made to optimize lower acid concentrations which can effectively produce MCC particles. In this work, different concentrations of sulfuric acid (20, 30, 35, 40, 47 and 64 wt%) have been used to prepare MCC particles, which have been characterized by XRD, particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nanoindentation and thermogravimetric analysis. MCC prepared with 35 and 47% sulfuric acid (MCC 35 and MCC 47) had finest particle size and fibrils were produced in the range of 15–25 nm. MCC 20 showed wide particle size distribution, indicating low breakdown of the cellulose chains. The energy absorption behavior and mechanical properties of the MCC pellets were determined by nanoindentation test for the first time. MCC 35 pellets exhibited lowest modulus and hardness.     

Homogenous one-pot synthesis of polyimides in polyphosphoric acid

A one-pot synthetic method to produce aromatic polyimides with high molecular weights from corresponding diamines and dianhydrides was developed, in which polyphosphoric acid (PPA) played a role of an excellent media for one-step synthesis of completely cyclized polyimides. The polymerization was carried out in the solid content of 10 wt/v% at 220 °C. The resulting products exhibited a homogeneous solution in the non-volatilizable PPA instead of precipitation form of the polyimides. The content of P₂O₅ in PPA had an influence on the molecular weight of the products, and the high percentage of P₂O₅ resulted in the relative high inherent viscosity. FTIR and Carbon-13 NMR were employed to analyze the structures and TGA was used to evaluate the thermal stability. The polyimides prepared by this one-step route exhibited good thermal properties and high values of activation energies for the degradation, on comparison with the polyimides prepared in DAMc by two-step polymerization method.
