Water Adsorption Thermodynamical Analysis and Mechanical Characterization of Chitosan and Polyvinyl Alcohol-Based Films

Rocio Y. Aguirre-Loredo et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol films prepared by the casting method exhibited moisture adsorption isotherms well-fitted by the GAB model. Thermodynamic analysis revealed a minimum integral entropy at specific water activity levels for all films. Pore radius values of the films indicated classification into micropores and mesopores. Compensation enthalpy-entropy in films showed enthalpy-driven water vapor adsorption at low water activity levels. Most mechanical properties remained constant at the zone of minimum integral entropy, confirming the potential use of thermodynamic properties for predicting film stability in food packaging materials.

Chitosan for food packaging: Recent advances in active and intelligent films

Maria Florez et al.

Summary: The massive use of petroleum-based plastics in food packaging has led to serious environmental issues, prompting the need to develop biodegradable polymer packaging. Chitosan, a natural polysaccharide with non-toxic, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties, is considered a promising material for food packaging. Recent studies have evaluated the potential of active and/or intelligent chitosan-based films in improving food preservation and monitoring. The addition of active compounds has been shown to enhance the mechanical, barrier and functional properties of chitosan films, with potential applications in antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Comparative statistical analysis of the release kinetics models for nanoprecipitated drug delivery systems based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)

Nathaly S. Heredia et al.

Summary: Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a commonly used polymer in drug delivery systems, exhibiting excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and spatio-temporal control of drug release. However, there is no general model that can describe all types of drug release in polymeric drug delivery systems. This study compared several mathematical models and found that the Hyperbolic Tangent Function model best fitted the drug release profile of PLGA particles synthesized by nanoprecipitation method.

Spatiotemporal manipulation of L-arginine release from bioactive hydrogels initiates rapid skin wound healing accompanied with repressed scar formation

Zhixin Ling et al.

Summary: In this study, biofunctional hydrogel (CA) was synthesized by introducing L-arginine (L-Arg) into chitosan (CS) for spatial and temporal manipulation of L-Arg release kinetics, leading to enhanced wound healing and reduced scar formation. Experiments and simulations showed that different substitution degrees of L-Arg on CS influenced their molecular arrangements and interactions, affecting L-Arg release profiles. An optimized hydrogel with 8.50% substitution degree (CA2) was found to promote wound healing and reduce scar formation in both in vitro and in vivo studies.
