Chitosan-poly(aminopropyl/phenylsilsesquioxane) hybrid nanocomposite membranes for antibacterial and drug delivery applications

Abstract: The incorporation of poly(aminopropyl/phenylsilsesquioxane) (PAPSQ) into chitosan gave membranes exhibiting high thermal stability and tunable swelling property, and that were good templates for loading of 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) and production of Ag nanoparticles around PAPSQ.

“…While considering particular purposes, this modification of the physical and chemical properties of nano-clay embedded polymeric hydrogels is critical. As a result, the inflating characteristics, heat withstandability, and mechanical durability of the augmented hydrogel may be tuned using nano-clay embedded polymer hydrogel systems [25,26].…”

“…Utilizing the plethora of functional groups on GO, recently it has been covalently functionalized to enhance compatibility and impart bioactivity. This covalent functionalization has been done with traditional types of polymers, natural polymers, conductive polymers, and systems containing polypeptides . While creating interesting materials, they are typically fibers or films, not robust fully three‐dimensional (3‐D) materials.…”

“…The first step has 1.28% of weight loss between 30-80 • C attributed to the loss of moisture from the nanogels. While the second stage was observed in the temperature range of 204-375 • C accounting for 72.44% of weight loss, which is due to the decomposition of the grafted polymer side chains and Cs [37]. The final stage of decomposition observed in the temperature range of 375-519 • C accounted for up to 15.24% of weight loss in nanogels, which is due to the decomposition of the main chain of the polymer network.…”

“…Chitosan (Cs), one of the most abundant naturally occurring cellulose polymers, which is generally obtained by the deacetylation of chitin extracted from the shells of crustaceans [36,37], has been used as an effective material in various applications including DDS. It is an amino polysaccharide made up of the copolymers of D-glucosamine and N-acetylated D-glucosamine which are linked via β-1,4-glycosidic linkages [37], and used because of the many attractive properties such as excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, muco-adhesivity, non-toxicity, and non-immunogenicity. Furthermore, Cs could be depolymerized by treating with NaNO 2 to obtain highly soluble lower molecular weight polymer chains without any structural changes [38].…”
