The solubility of a reactive disperse dye, which was modified from CI Disperse Red 17 with a derivative of 1,3,5‐trichloro‐2,4,6‐triazine as the reactive group, was investigated in supercritical carbon dioxide fluid by employing a batch system equipped with an online spectrophotometer. The investigations were carried out at pressures of 7.5–25.0 MPa, temperatures of 333.15–413.15 K and an equilibrium contact time of 120 min. As revealed from the experimental results, the solubility of the reactive disperse dye increased with pressure in different isotherms, and decreased with temperature. Furthermore, the experimental solubility data were correlated successfully with semi‐empirical models – Chrastil and Del Valle–Aguilera equations, respectively – at various temperatures and pressures.
Antibacterial wound dressings can kill bacteria around the wound and then accelerate the wound healing. To fabricate an antibacterial membrane for potential application of wound healing, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), silk fibroin (SF), and natural antimicrobial agent aloe anthraquinone (AA) were blended for electrospinning. The electrospun PLGA/SF/AA fibrous membrane consists of smooth and uniform fibers with an average diameter of 583 ± 112 nm. The stress of the PLGA/SF/AA fibrous membrane is 3.88 ± 0.34 MPa, which can ensure its application in skin wound healing. Owing to the good hydrophilicity of blended SF, PLGA/SF/AA fibrous membrane can release 47% of AA at 48 h and 62% of AA in 15 days. PLGA/SF/AA membrane also exhibits good antimicrobial properties and cell compatibility. These results indicate that the fabricated PLGA/SF/AA fibrous membrane in this study has a good application potential for wound healing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
