Enzymatic degradation behavior and cytocompatibility of silk fibroin–starch–chi...

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of silk fibroin and oxidized starch conjugation on the enzymatic degradation behavior and the cytocompatability of chitosan based biomaterials. The tensile stress of conjugate membranes, which was at 50 Megapascal (MPa) for the lowest fibroin and starch composition (10 weight percent (wt.%)), was decreased significantly with the increased content of f...

Performance of biodegradable microcapsules of poly(butylene succinate), poly(bu...

Poly(butylene succinate) (PBSu), poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) and poly(butylene terephthalate-co-adipate) (PBTA) microcapsules were prepared by the double emulsion/solvent evaporation method. The effect of polymer and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) concentration on the microcapsule morphologies, drug encapsulation efficiency (EE) and drug loading (DL) of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and all-trans retinoi...

Growth of a bonelike apatite on chitosan microparticles after a calcium silicat...

Bioactive chitosan microparticles can be prepared successfully by treating them with a calcium silicate solution and then subsequently soaking them in simulated body fluid (SBF). Such a combination enables the development of bioactive microparticles that can be used for several applications in the medical field, including injectable biomaterial systems and tissue engineering carrier systems. Chitosan microparti...

Multichannel mould processing of 3D structures from microporous coralline hydro...

A three-dimensional composite material was produced from microporous coralline origin hydroxyapatite (HA) microgranules, chitosan fibers and chitosan membrane. Cylindrical HA microgranules were oriented along channel direction within multichannel mould space and aligned particles were supported with fibers and a chitosan membrane. The positive replica of mould channels was clasp fixed to produce thicker scaffol...

Starch-chitosan hydrogels prepared by reductive alkylation cross-linking

Starch–chitosan hydrogels were produced by oxidation of soluble starch to produce polyaldehyde and subsequently cross-linked with chitosan via reductive alkylation. The swelling ratio of starch–chitosan membranes was increased gradually with increasing starch ratio, but it was always lower than the native chitosan. In dry state, starch–chitosan membranes with low starch ratio (0.16, 0.38) showed similar tensile...

Solid-phase enzyme modification via affinity chromatography

In the present study antileukemic enzyme L-asparaginase (ASNase) and catalase (as a model enzyme) were modified in solid-phase with activated polyethylene glycol (PEG ) by using ligand-immobilized affinity column systems L-asparagine- 2 Sepharose CL-4B and Procion red-Sepharose CL-4B, respectively. Studies on change of specific activity with modification time showed negligible differences between batches of mod...
