“…A gradual reduction in the crystallinity of ZnO NPs films was observed when vitamins A and E were incorporated into the film along with gluten. Similar results have been reported in our previous investigations, where lower intensities of Ag NPs and ZnO NPs were detected due to peak overlapping between wheat gluten and nanoparticles 20 , 40 .…”

Burn wound treatment remains a significant issue in wound care management especially when multidrug resistant bacterial infection and accumulation are present. Delayed wound healing is mostly due to ineffectiveness of commercially available wound dressings that protects the wound but less efficient in healing perspective. Therefore, nano-based wound dressing might be efficient solution for wound healing management. The present study reports the fabrication and evaluation of zinc oxide (ZnO) or silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) capped with vitamin A or E nanocomposite that were incorporated in wheat gluten (WG) films. The chemical structure, phase purity, and morphological features confirmed the successful coating of NPs by vitamins A and E and their interaction with WG during film casting. The maximum swelling response was observed by NPs vitamin composite WG films than control films while slow release of vitamins and NPs from films was observed up to 24 h. WG films either carrying ZnO or Ag NPs, and vitamin A or E demonstrated significant antioxidant and antibacterial potential. The NPs-vitamin composite loaded WG films showed wound contraction within 14 days during in vivo burn wound healing experiments on mice model. The rates of wound healing, re-epithelialization, collagen deposition with fibroblast regeneration, adipocytes, and hair follicle development were observed through visual and histopathological examination. The study reveals that vitamin A or E doped ZnO or Ag NPs fabricated in WG can be efficiently used against burn wounds due to their physiochemical and biological properties. Furthermore the biocompatible nature and biodegradable potential make the films more prone to mankind maneuver for initial protection and healing remedy.

“…The flasks were stirred at 37 °C for 24 h at 100 rpm using a magnetic stirrer. At regular intervals, 2 ml was collected from each flask and absorbance was measured at 450 nm for Ag NPs 20 , and 340 nm for ZnNPs 20 , 40 . The flasks were refilled with the same amount of PBS (2 ml) at each sampling to keep the fluid level constant.…”

“…been used as a promising adsorbent for norfloxacin (NR) from aqueous solutions. [110] Biodegradable hydrolysates of wheat gluten (WGH) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZNPs) with cross-linked bonds were produced as nanocomposite films by Sajjad et al [111] Physicochemical analysis showed the formation of ZnO nanoparticles of about 18.37 nm in size with spherical and hexagonal nanostructures. On the other hand, SEM analysis showed that the incorporation of ZNPs into the wheat gluten polymer promoted nanoaggregation on the surface and in the cross-section of the film.…”

Polymeric materials, despite their many undeniable advantages, nowadays are a major environmental challenge. Thus, in recent years biodegradable polymer matrices have been widely used in various sectors, including the medicinal, chemical, and packaging industry. Their widespread use is due to the properties of biodegradable polymer matrices, among which are their adjustable physicochemical and mechanical properties, as well as lower environmental impact. The properties of biodegradable polymers can be modified with various types of nanofillers, among which clays, organic and inorganic nanoparticles, and carbon nanostructures are most commonly used. The performance of the final product depends on the size and uniformity of the used nanofillers, as well as on their distribution and dispersion in the polymer matrix. This literature review aims to highlight new research results on advances and improvements in the synthesis, physicochemical properties and applications of biodegradable polymer matrices modified with metal nanoparticles and metal oxides.
