The aim of present study was to develop controlled release formulation of pirfenidone using acrylamide grafted pullulan. Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) microspheres were prepared using acrylamide grafted pullulan and PVA utilizing glutaraldehyde assisted water-in-oil emulsion crosslinking method. IPN microspheres were characterized by FTIR, solid state C NMR and XRD spectroscopy. In vitro enzymatic degradation study showed 34.30% degradation after 24 h with degradation rate constant of 0.0088 min. In vitro biocompatibility test showed no changes in cellular morphology and cell adherence to microspheres, indicating its biocompatible nature. The release exponent value of all formulations was less than 0.45, indicating the release mechanism to be Fickian diffusion. Finally, in vivo pharmacokinetic study showed longer T (1.16 h) and greater AUC value (10037.76 ng h/mL,) as compared to Pirfenex (T = 0.5 h; AUC = 4310.45 ng h/mL,). The results indicated that the prepared formulation could successfully control the drug release for prolonged time period.

College of Resources and Environment Sciences, Gansu Agricultural University, Lanzhou 730070, China.
Under the increasing severity of drought issues and the urgent need for the resourceful utilization of agricultural waste, this study aimed to compare the soil water retention properties of hydrogels prepared from Chinese cabbage waste (CW) and banana peel (BP) using grafting techniques with acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AAm). Free radical polymerization was initiated with ammonium persulfate (APS), and N, N'-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) served as the crosslinking agent to fabricate the grafted polymer hydrogels. The hydrogels were subjected to detailed evaluations of their water absorption, reusability, and water retention capabilities through indoor experiments.

Fouling-resistant coating materials have important applications in marine industry and biomedicine. Zwitterionic carboxybetaine polymers have demonstrated robust antibiofouling functionalities in experiments. In this work, we performed atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to study the molecular mechanism of hydration and antibiofouling of poly(carboxybetaine acrylamide) (polyCBAA) brush surfaces.

Acyclovir (ACV) is a potentially effective antiviral medication; however, it has a serious drawback, which is its poor solubility, bioavailability, and short half-life. The goal of this study is to improve its drawbacks through the synthesis of nanogels. In this study, the cross-linked hyaluronic acid-grafted poly(acrylamide--itaconic acid) nanogel is synthesized successfully through free radical polymerization and used as a safe pH-responsive carrier for ACV.

In response to the dust pollution problem in open-pit mines, an environmentally friendly network structure with a dust suppressor structure was prepared by grafting acrylamide (AM) monomers onto xanthan gum (XG). The results show that the polymer produced from 1 g XG, 15 g AM, and 0.45 g trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether (TTE) had a more orderly structured gel with a viscosity of 81.

This study aims to develop a stable and efficient magnetic nanocomposite hydrogel (MNCH) for selective removal of methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV). MNCHs with different FeO contents (0-9 wt%) were synthesized following graft co-polymerization method using sodium alginate, acrylamide, itaconic acid, ammonium persulfate and N,N-methylene bisacrylamide. Among them, MNCH, with 5 wt% FeO, showed highest removal efficiency (>95 %).
