Hydrogel-Inducing Graphene-Oxide-Derived Core-Shell Fiber Composite for Antibacterial Wound Dressing.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2023 March 27
The study reveals the polymer-crosslinker interactions and functionality of hydrophilic nanofibers for antibacterial wound coatings. Coaxial electrospinning leverages a drug encapsulation protocol for a core-shell fiber composite with a core derived from polyvinyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol with amorphous silica (PVA-PEG-SiO2 ), and a shell originating from polyvinyl alcohol and graphene oxide (PVA-GO). Crosslinking with GO and SiO2 initiates the hydrogel transition for the fiber composite upon contact with moisture, which aims to optimize the drug release. The effect of hydrogel-inducing additives on the drug kinetics is evaluated in the case of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) encapsulation in the core of core-shell fiber composite PVA-PEG-SiO2 -1x-CHX@PVA-GO. The release rate is assessed with the zero, first-order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic models, where the inclusion of crosslinking silica provides a longer degradation and release rate. CHX medicated core-shell composite provides sustainable antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus .
