Responsive antimicrobial materials were prepared by designing pH-responsive cellulose-based nanoparticles grafted with PEI and emulsifying OEO. The nanoparticles showed pH-responsive properties and achieved excellent antimicrobial effects. The developed Pickering emulsion demonstrated controlled release of antimicrobial agents in response to pH stimulation and exhibited smart antimicrobial capabilities.
Responsive antimicrobial materials can control and slow the release of antimicrobial agents smartly by responding to the stimulation of environmental conditions. In this study, we designed the pH-responsive cellu-lose-based nanoparticles (TOCNC-g-PEI) with amino and carboxyl groups by grafting polyethyleneimine (PEI) to carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals. Finally, the Pickering emulsion was endowed with smart antimicrobial properties by emulsifying the oregano essential oil (OEO) with nanoparticles. The TOCNC-g-PEI25000 had uniform size, greater dispersion, and excellent antimicrobial properties. The contact angles of nanoparticles were 78.70 +/- 1.13 degrees, 55.80 +/- 1.58 degrees and 55.35 +/- 1.56 degrees at neutral conditions, pH 4.0 and 8.0, respectively. The nanoparticles were responding to pH stimulation. The developed emulsion (4:6, 1.30 wt%) had exceptionally stabilized and encapsulated 98.56 +/- 1.22 % of the oil phase. The OEO released rapidly within 0-12 h and slowly at 12-36 h. The cumulative release rates quickly reached 93.60 +/- 3.73 % (pH 4.0) and 83.25 +/- 0.36 % (pH 8.0) and sta-bilized gradually. The antimicrobial rates of emulsion stimulated for 4 h reached 100 % at pH 4.0, and both of them exceeded 96.10 +/- 2.49 % at pH 8.0. The response of Pickering emulsion to pH stimulating controlled release antimicrobial agents and achieved smart antimicrobial.
