Water absorption and antimicrobial behavior of physically cross linked poly (vinyl alcohol)/carrageenan films loaded with minocycline

Abstract: In the present study, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/Carrageenan(Car) composite films have been prepared by ionic cross-linking of the two polymers with Borax (Bx) and K + ions, respectively, in aqueous medium at room temperature. The films were characterized by FTIR, SEM, TGA, and AFM analysis. The equilibrium percent swelling (EPS) of PVA/Carr films, so produced, exhibited negative dependence on the amount of cross-linkers. A detailed investigation of their water absorption and moisture permeation behavior has be… Show more

“…These results demonstrate the higher thermal stability of the cross‐linked material compared to non‐cross‐linked one. Similar results were observed for other system based on cross‐linked polysaccharides . Thus, these results indicate that our material could be satisfactorily nanostructured using AAO templates at 140°C without degradation thereof.…”

“…As the MLG used in our work was exfoliated by an electrochemical method, it suffers less from aggregation of sheets than conventional reduced graphene oxides [4]. In addition to the -O-B-O-crosslinks within the PVA-PANI HDG, the presence of MLG intensifies London dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, and π-π stacking forces between the MLG, PVA, and PANI chains [5,9,22,23]. Hydrogen bonds occur between the -NH 2 groups of PANI and -OH groups of PVA chains, and the -O-B-O-crosslinks can generate additional hydrogen bonds with both.…”
