The aim of the study was to develop and characterize the nanocomposite in-situ hydrogel as local drug delivery system of cytotoxic agent. In-situ hydrogel consisting of 15% thermosensitive (Poloxamer 407) and 1% mucoadhesive (sodium alginate) polymers was selected as the optimal formulation by the conducted studies. The influence of nanoparticle concentration on gelation time and temperature has been experimentally established. As a result, the optimum concentration of nanoparticles (5%) is selected, which does not alter the gel forming process. The resulting nanocomposite hydrogel was characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), rotational viscometer (LVDV-1T). FT-IR spectra confirmed the PLGA nanoparticles presence within the hydrogel matrix through the absorption peak located at 1750 cm-1. SEM images allowed observing the nanoparticles to be homogenously dispersed. The release pattern of the active substance from the nanocomposite hydrogel is following: at 72 h, 64% and 78% of the active substance were released into the phosphate buffer and cell culture area, respectively. Irritation test on hen's egg model revealed that formulated nanocomposite hydrogel did not show damage of vascular system.

Exosomes as a unique drug delivery system provide a new choice for tumor therapy. However, the in vitro functionalization of exosomes and the process of circulating drug delivery can easily cause exosome degradation and drug loss, thus reducing the efficiency of drug delivery. In this work, based on the endocyto-fusion-exocytosis pathway of exosome formation, a multifunctional hyaluronic acid nanogel loaded with the antiangiogenic drug vatalanib and the near-infrared photothermal agent indocyanine green (ICG) was designed.

Sonodynamic therapy is an emerging therapeutic approach for combating bacterial infections. However, the characteristics of hypoxia, high HO microenvironment, and the formation of persistent biofilms in diabetic wound sites limit its efficacy in this field. To address these issues, we developed a multifunctional antibacterial hydrogel dressing PPCN@Pt-AMPs/HGel with the cross-linked gelatin and sodium alginate as the matrix, where the nanosonosensitizer PCN-224 was decorated with the oxygen-generating Pt nanoenzyme and further coupled with a biofilm-targeting antimicrobial peptide via an interacting polydopamine layer.

A novel nanocomposite magnetic hydrogel was synthesized based on κ-carrageenan, acrylic acid, and activated carbon as an absorbent for removing heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) were employed to confirm the structure of the nanocomposite hydrogels. The effects of contact time, pH, particle size, temperature, and metal ion concentration on the metal ion adsorption were investigated.

Tannic acid (TA) has attracted the attention of researchers as a promising organic ligand capable of forming metal-organic coordination networks with various metal ions at interfaces to impact surface properties. In this study, we innovatively reported a self-assembly method for surface decoration by depositing TA/Fe coatings on the surface of desalted duck egg white nanoparticles (DEWN), further studying the oil/water interfacial properties of the modified particles. The results showed that the ratio and concentration of TA to Fe could modulate interfacial properties.
