Chitosan/Silk Fibroin Materials for Biomedical Applications—A Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review provides a report on recent advances in the field of chitosan (CTS) and silk fibroin (SF) biopolymer blends as new biomaterials. Chitosan and silk fibroin are widely used to obtain biomaterials. However, the materials based on the blends of these two biopolymers have not been summarized in a review paper yet. As these materials can attract both academic and industrial attention, we propose this review paper to showcase the latest achievements in this area. In this review, the latest literature regarding the preparation and properties of chitosan and silk fibroin and their blends has been reviewed.

“…One of the most widely used natural polymers, chitosan (CS), possesses all the main characteristics required for biomedical application as a drug carrier, or a component of the biocompatible coating or repair of hard and soft tissues [57]. The most valuable characteristic of CS, as a biomaterial approved by Food and Drug Administration [58,59] are: biocompatibility [60], biodegradability [61], antibacterial activity [62,63], and high potential in drug delivery systems [64,65]. The tissue response upon implantation is reduced to a minimum due to CS presence, thanks to its hydrophilic surface that improves cell adhesion, differentiation and proliferation [66].…”

Electrophoretic Deposition of Biocompatible and Bioactive Hydroxyapatite-Based Coatings on Titanium

Current trends in biomaterials science address the issue of integrating artificial materials as orthopedic or dental implants with biological materials, e.g., patients’ bone tissue. Problems arise due to the simple fact that any surface that promotes biointegration and facilitates osteointegration may also provide a good platform for the rapid growth of bacterial colonies. Infected implant surfaces easily lead to biofilm formation that poses a major healthcare concern since it could have destructive effects and ultimately endanger the patients’ life. As of late, research has centered on designing coatings that would eliminate possible infection but neglected to aid bone mineralization. Other strategies yielded surfaces that could promote osseointegration but failed to prevent microbial susceptibility. Needless to say, in order to assure prolonged implant functionality, both coating functions are indispensable and should be addressed simultaneously. This review summarizes progress in designing multifunctional implant coatings that serve as carriers of antibacterial agents with the primary intention of inhibiting bacterial growth on the implant-tissue interface, while still promoting osseointegration.

“…Beside the purification or separation of enantiomers, fine chemicals or multi-component mixtures, where the isolation of a pure target product is of interest [11,12,23], the specific production of solids with defined characteristics is the main task for nanoparticles [15,[26][27][28][29]. In the recent past, they gained increasing interest in industry and also in medical applications, due to their beneficial properties, which could be individualized for a specific duty [26,27]. The examples included in the Special Issue refer to new applications like capacitor energy-storage [28] and composite materials utilizing cellulose nanocrystals to reinforce biodegradable PBS polymers [29] as well as efficient catalysts in the cyanoethylation of methanol [15].…”
