Preparation of porous poly(lactic acid)/Sio2 hybrid microspheres

With 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as coupling agent, poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/SiO₂ hybrid material was prepared to produce poly(lactic acid)/SiO₂ hybrid microspheres (PLAHs) with porous structure bythe oil‐in‐water, single‐emulsion solvent evaporation method. Field scanning electron microscopy results show that the PLAHs were porous microspheres about 20 μm in diameter. The holes in the PLAHs opened outside and were not complicated. A nitrogen adsorption–desorption experiment showed that the nitrogen adsorbed in the holes was easily desorbed, and the specific surface area of the PLAHs was calculated to be 6.87 m²/g according to the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller equation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results show that PLA was amidated with APTES successfully and formed a kind of organic–inorganic hybrid material by hydrolysis and con‐condensation with tetraethoxysilane. Moreover, the molecular structure of the hybrid material was confirmed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry results show that the melting point ofthe PLAHs was higher than that of PLA by about 11.2°C. These PLAHs may be used in the controlled release of drugs by the embedding of the drugs in the holes of the PLAHs, and the drug loading amount can be controlled by the size and number of holes in the PLAHs. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Study on volume ratio and plasticizer screening of free coating membranes composed of ethyl cellulose and chitosan

The aim of this study was to optimize the formula of free blended coating membrane of ethyl cellulose (EC) and chitosan (CS), including their suitable ratio range and the best plasticizer used. The dry films were produced by a casting/solvent evaporation method, with different volume ratio of EC and CS solution plasticized by various plasticizers, respectively. The wet films were prepared by immersing dry films in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer saline (PBS) for 24 h. The promising ratio range of EC/CS was below 20/5 or 20/6 with various plasticizer, which was determined by comparing the viscosity of the blended solutions and the morphology of the blended films. The efficiency of plasticization was evaluated by measuring glass transition temperature (T_g). All the testing plasticizers have good compatibility with EC or CS and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) have the strongest efficiency inducing the lowest T_g (39.9°C) of the film. Mechanical properties were evaluated by the ratio of tensile strength (T) to elastic modulus (E). In the wet state, the films with DBP had the highest T/E value (1.2). The results of leaching of plasticizers also verified that DBP was the most stable plasticizer in the films. The release rates of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate (TMPP) through the pellets coated with the blended films of EC/CS (20 : 6 v/v) plasticized by various plasticizers showed that the more water‐soluble the plasticizer was, the more quickly TMPP dissolved from the coated pellets, which further indicated that the water‐insoluble plasticizers (such as DBP) could be more applicable to keep the sustained or controlled release property of the blended films in wet state. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cephazoline sodium release from poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide‐co‐N,N‐dimethylacrylamide) hydrogels

Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymers that swell to an equilibrium volume in the presence of water, preserving their shape. The dynamic swelling behavior of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide‐co‐N,N‐dimethylacrylamide) [poly(NIPA‐co‐DMA)] copolymers at 37°C was investigated. It was observed that the swelling degree in the copolymers decreases with the N‐isopropylacrylamide content. In addition, the liberation mechanism was found to be Fickian. Diffusion coefficients according to Fick′s law as a function of the N‐isopropylacrylamide concentration and results of the release process are reported. The kinetics of cephazoline sodium release from poly(NIPA‐co‐DMA) hydrogels with different compositions was studied. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 3433–3437, 2004     

Novel biocatalysts: Recent developments

The limited number of suitably well characterized biocatalysts continues to limit progress in the application of biological routes in the synthesis of compounds for novel pharmaceuticals, materials, or performance chemicals. In this situation, the discovery of novel biocatalysts or novel functionalities or substrates on existing ones is an important task. This work describes a range of novel biocatalysts obtained recently through one of three techniques: environmental sampling or screening, protein engineering on existing enzymes, or extension of the catalytic profile of existing catalysts.     

Effect of montmorillonite on the swelling behavior and drug‐release behavior of nanocomposite hydrogels

A series of nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared from various ratios of N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and organic montmorillonite (MMT). The influence of the extent of MMT in the NIPAAm/MMT nanocomposite hydrogels on the physical properties and drug‐release behavior was the main purpose of this study. The microstructure and morphology were identified by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the swelling ratios for these nanocomposite hydrogels decreased with increase in the content of MMT. The gel strength and Young's modulus of the gels also increased with increase in the content of MMT. XRD results indicated that the exfoliation of MMT was achieved in the swollen state. Finally, the drug‐release behavior for the gels was also assessed. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 3652–3660, 2003
