Investigation of pH-Sensitive Swelling and Curcumin Release Behavior of Chitglc Hydrogel

Hydrogels are in use for encapsulation of curcumin for possible use in wound healing. Encapsulation helps in targeted delivery and enhanced activity of curcumin. We report here a pH sensitive hydrogel developed from chitosan. The hydrogel was prepared by reaction of chitosan and d-glucose, facilitated by the reducing agent Na-cyanoborohydride. The maximum yield of the hydrogel was obtained at pH 4.5 with the amount of chitosan, d-glucose and Na-cyanoborohydride as 0.3, 2.0 and 2.0 g respectively. A maximum curcumin loading efficiency of 74% was observed with curcumin amount in the feed at 0.15 g. The release study revealed a sustained release pattern over a period of 80 h with an initial burst release. Curcumin loaded hydrogel showed mild antibacterial activity against Proteus mirabilis and Enterobacter aerogenes.

Cure,Mechanical and Swelling Properties of Biocomposites from Chicken Feather Fibre and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber

Biocomposites of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) reinforced with chicken feather fibre (CF) were prepared using dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as vulcanizing agent. Composites with three series of chicken feather fibres were studied i.e., raw (RCF), sterilized (SCF) and alkali treated (ACF). The cure characteristics of composites were studied. The mechanical properties of NBR were found to be improved by the incorporation of chicken feather fibre in all forms. Surface modification of the fibre was done by alkaline treatment to improve the interfacial adhesion and it characterised by FTIR. Better properties are shown by the composites with ACF. The swelling behaviour of the composites in N,N-dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide and water were analyzed for the swelling coefficient values. The biodegradable characteristics of CF reinforced NBR composites were studied by soil burial test which indicated that it is an eco-friendly and acceptable material. Scanning electron microscopy studies support the results of mechanical properties. The outcome obtained from this study is believed to assist the development of environmentally–friendly composites especially for specific product applications like oil seals, hoses and automobile bushes etc.
