Preparation and Characterization of a Novel PDLLA/ Chondroitin Sulfate/Chitosan Asymmetry Film

A novel bioactive and bioresorbable asymmetry film was prepared. The PDLLA membrane was activated by 1, 6-hexanediamine to obtain a stable positive charge surface. Chondroitin sulfate and chitosan were then deposited on activated PDLLA membrane via layer-by-layer （LBL） electro-static assembly （ESA） technique. The deposition process was monitored by UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy. The composite membrane was frozen lyophilized to form the asymmetry film and characterized by attenuated total reflectic （ATR）-FT-IR, XPS and SEM. The experimental results show that a stable 1, 6-hexanediamine layer on PDLLA substrate based on the aminolysis of the polyester and the layer thickness increase linearly first with the increase of the deposited layers, and then increases slowly due to the layer interpenetration. The test results of ATR-FT- IR and SEM show the asymmetry film is modified uniformly with a dense inner layer and a porous sponge outer tayer.     

Preparation and Characterization of β-TCP/CS Scaffolds by Freeze-extraction and Freeze-gelation

The freeze-extraction and freeze-gelation methods were used to prepare highly porous β-TCP/CS scaffolds with different β-TCP/CS ratio.In these methods,the suspending mixture of β-TCP and chitosan was frozen,the frozen mixture was immersed in a non-solvent(0.05mol/L NaOH/ehanol aqueous) bath to allow the exchange between solvent(acetic-acid aqueous) and non-solvent at a temperature lower than the freezing point of the acetic-acid.Then,the β-TCP/CS scaffolds were formed and dried at room temperature.Scanning ...

Preparation and Evaluation of Insulin-loaded Nanoparticles based on Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin Modified Carboxymethyl Chitosan for Oral Delivery

Novel insulin-loaded nanoparticles based on hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin modified carboxymethyl chitosan(CMC-HP-β-CD) were prepared to improve the oral bioavailability of insulin. The CMC-HP-β-CD was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and 1H-NMR spectra. The insulin-loaded nanoparticles were prepared through crosslinking with calcium ions, and the morphology and size of the prepared nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and dynamic light scattering(DLS). Cumulative release in vitro study was performed respectively in simulated gastric medium fluid(SGF, p H=1.2), simulated intestinal fluid(SIF, p H=6.8) and simulated colonic fluid(SCF, p H=7.4). The encapsulation efficiency of insulin was up to 87.14 ± 4.32% through high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). Statistics indicated that only 15% of the encapsulated insulin was released from the CMC-HP-β-CD nanoparticles in 36 h in SGF, and about 50% of the insulin could be released from the nanoparticles in SIF, whereas more than 80% was released in SCF. In addition, the solution containing insulin nanoparticles could effectively reduce the blood glucose level of diabetic mice. The cytotoxicity test showed that the samples had no cytotoxicity. CMC-HP-β-CD nanoparticles are promising candidates as potential carriers in oral insulin delivery systems.

The Complex of Crosslinked Chitosan with 4′-formal Benzo-15-crown-5 and Palladium Used as Catalyst for Asymmetric Hydrogenation of α-phenylethanone

The crosslinked chitosan was grafted by 4′-formal benzo-15-crown-5 to obtaine crosslinked chitosan with 4′-formal benzo-15-crown-5(CCTS-N=CH-B-15-C-5). Then it was loaded with palldium chloride to gain the heterogeneous catalyst, which was easily isolated from the reaction system. The influences of the Pd content of the catalyst, solvent, and temperature on asymmetric hydrogenation of α-phenylethanone have been studied. The catalyst has been found to catalyze the hydrogenation of α-phenylethanone into the chiral alcohol, α-phenyl ethanol under the mild condition. The optical yield of (R)-1-phenylethanol could be obtained as 97.1% under the following conditions: temperature, 30 ℃; solvent, ethanol; Pd content, 1.43 mmol/g; substrate concentration, 0.02 g /mL due to the cooperative effect of crown ether and chitosan polymer. The stability of this catalyst was also studied at the same time. This chiral natural crosslinked chitosan-palladium complex catalyst could be reused without appreciable change in optical catalytic activity, which will be useful for designing crosslinked-chitosan-based adsorption for metal ions for asymmetric hydrogenation.     

Preparation and Degradation Characteristics of Poly(d,1-laetide) Composite Films

PDLLA/CHI/β-TCP/NGF composite films were prepared by a solvent evaporation method. The degradation characteristics of the poly(d,1-lactide)composite films were studied in vitro and in vivo. The acidity produced by poly(d,1-lactide)materials was not obvious.Adding chitosan andβ-TCP can relieve the acidity problem and improve strength performance of films.The NGF has influences on the degradation characteristics of films.It is verified that PDLLA/CHI/β-TCP/NGF composite films prepared by solvent evaporation method have excellent degradation characteristics.It can be used as a perfect biomaterial for repairing nerve injuries.

Preparation and Microstrutures of BSTO/MgO Ferroelectric Materials for Phase Shift

Barium strontium titanate/magnesia （BSTO/MgO） ferroelectric material for phase shift was prepared by traditional solid phase synthesis. The phase distribution, microstructure and electric properties were investigated. The results show that no secondary phase appears in the composites and the dimension of grains distributes uniformly. With 50 wt% MgO content, the dielectric tunability reaches 17.5 % in the external DC field of 4 000 Vomm^-1 and the microwave loss at about 2.5 GHz is 8×10^-3. Hence, it can be applied in tunable microwave phase shifters.

Preparation and characterization of Cu-doped mesoporous CeO2for CO oxidation简

Mesoporous CeO2 was first synthesized by hydrothermal method,and then used to synthesize different contents of CuO）x/CeO2（x：molar ratio of Cu to Ce） by deposition-precipitation method.These materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,N2 adsorption and desorption,H2 temperature programmed reduction（H2-TPR） and O2 temperature programmed desorption（O2-TPD） to study the crystal structure,surface area,and the mechanism of CO oxidation.The results show that,on XRD patterns,no evidence of CuO diffraction peaks is present until Cu loading is increased to 20%.The BET surface area decreases noticeably with the increase of Cu content.Compared with other samples,the better reducibility and activity oxygen species of（CuO）10%/CeO2coincide with its better catalytic activity.
