Surface modification of film chitosan materials with aldehydes for wettability and biodegradation control

Abstract

Chitosan is one of prospective polymer for use in regenerative medicine which has unique properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, and antitumor potency. In this article, we study the peculiarities of the surface modification of chitosan films with carbonyl-containing compounds, which differed both in molecular characteristics and in their hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. The potential for controlling the biodegradation of the resulting materials has been established, which can be used in the creation of wound dressings. Both the destruction time and lyophilic properties of the surface depend on the length of the modifier's hydrocarbon radical. The contact angle and water absorption of obtained film materials correlate with hydrophobicity, which estimated by the calculated value of the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB). The 2 cytotoxicity of modified chitosan films was studied, and it was found that they are non-toxic (cytotoxic index of <50%) for human skin cell cultures, which shows their potential for use in the creation of materials for skin protection and external wound healing.

Synthesis and Physical Characterization of Bioplastics Based on Jicama Starch (Pachyrhizur Erosus) – Chitosan

“…It is suspected that there was a reaction that changed the surface properties of chitosan from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. This reaction occurs in conditions where chitosan has a negatively charged hydroxyl group and a positively charged amine group so that it can change the nature of chitosan to be hydrophobic [15].…”

“…In the variation of chitosan 1 g and 1.5 g there was a decrease in the elongation value from glycerol 3 ml to glycerol 5 ml. The decrease was due to the excess of glycerol that led to imperfectly mixed glycerol, starch and chitosan [15][16].…”

Novel Tannic Acid-Modified Cobalt-Based Metal–Organic Framework: Synthesis, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity

“…As a result, researchers are very interested in newly developed antimicrobial materials for sterilizing and suppressing bacterial development. Several materials have been utilized for this purpose, including organic or natural materials, photocatalytic materials, , and polymer composites; , however, most of them have some shortcomings. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are alternative antimicrobial materials for various medical applications due to their high loading and controlled release capacities, easy functionalization, and strong interactions with bacterial membranes, as well as excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility. − …”

Study of the Mechanical Properties of Gelatin Films with Natural Compounds of Tamarix hispida

“…The use of polymer forms of medicines creates certain advantages over conventional forms, namely, it allows you to obtain a long-term therapeutic effect, reduce side effects, and reduce the total consumption of the drug for the course of treatment while maintaining a uniform concentration of the drug in the body for a long time [2]. Therefore, polymers used for pharmacological purposes are set to the following requirements: absolutely harmless material to the body, do not exhibit carcinogenic or allergenic properties, biocompatibility, do not undergo changes and do not cause denaturation, are easy to process, have bactericidal properties [3].…”
