Sustainable Electrical Responsive Scaffolds
No full textTridimensional (3D) porous structures, referred to as scaffolds, are widely used in biomedicine, as support to cell adhesion and growth, leading to cell differentiation and tissue regeneration; electrically conductive scaffolds have specific applications, as some tissues (musculoskeletal, neural and cardiac tissues) are positively stimulated by electricity. Generally conductive 3D scaffolds are made of synthetic polymers (PPy, PEDOT, PANI); there is however growing interest in developing materials from natural sources, for them to have reduced impact on the environment. Here, we discuss the most important reports in electrically conductive scaffolds prepared from natural and/or renewable sources; the natural polymers include chitosan, cellulose, hyaluronic acid, collagen, alginate and silk-derived materials. As these compounds are not conductive, they were modified with the addition of either the conductive polymers mentioned above, conductive carbon in different forms (graphite, graphene, etc.) or metallic nanoparticles; in some cases, a combination of these additives was explored, to study possible synergistic effects. The literature available on this topic confirms the potential of these sustainable materials for specific biomedical applications. Future investigations should focus on the use of sustainable materials also as conductive additives. Moreover, applications in the field of 4D printing should also be considered

Monodisperse and Nanometric-Sized Calcium Carbonate Particles Synthesis Optimization
No full textCalcium carbonate (CaCO(3)) particles represent an appealing choice as a drug delivery system due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, simplicity and cost-effectiveness of manufacturing, and stimulus-responsiveness. Despite this, the synthesis of CaCO(3) particles with controlled size in the nanometer range via a scalable manufacturing method remains a major challenge. Here, by using a co-precipitation technique, we investigated the impact on the particle size of different synthesis parameters, such as the salt concentration, reaction time, stirring speed, and temperature. Among them, the salt concentration and temperature resulted in having a remarkable effect on the particle size, enabling the preparation of well-dispersed spherical nanoparticles with a size below 200 nm. Upon identification of optimized synthesis conditions, the encapsulation of the antitumoral agent resveratrol into CaCO(3) nanoparticles, without significantly impacting the overall size and morphology, has been successfully achieved
