The high versatility of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) can be explained by its diverse properties including its solubility in water and in a broad range of liquid media, high chemical and thermal resistance, and unique wetting, binding, and film-forming properties. Thanks to biocompatibility, absence of toxicity and high capacity to form interpolymer complexes, PVP is widely used for designing materials for different applications, such as biomaterials for medical and nonmedical uses. This review summarizes a vast diversity of applicative examples showing the tremendous opportunities for future research and developments of PVP based biomaterials.

“…In this context, the blending of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) leads to a water-soluble and biodegradable polymer with improved mechanical properties. [6][7][8] Sericin is a natural, macromolecular water-soluble protein derived from silk cocoons. The silk fibers are composed of a protein fibroin with sericin surrounding it, and the removal of sericin from silk fiber is accomplished by a process called degumming.…”

In this study, we focused on the fabrication of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP)/sericin composites via a simple solution-blending method. The composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and measurements of the conductivity, tensile strength, and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The results of FTIR and UV spectroscopy implied the occurrence of hydrogen bonding between sericin and the PVA/PVP blend. The structure and morphology, studied by XRD and SEM, revealed that the sericin particles were well dispersed and arranged in an orderly fashion in the blend. The glass-transition temperature (T g ) of the composite was higher than that of the pure blend, and the T g value shifted toward higher temperatures when the volume fraction of sericin increased. TGA indicated that sericin retarded the thermal degradation; this depended on the filler concentration. The mechanical and electrical properties, such as the tensile strength, alternating-current electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss of the composites, were higher than those of the pure blend, and these properties were enhanced when the concentration of sericin was increased up to 10 wt % filler content, whereas the elongation at break of the composite decreased with the addition of sericin particles. The antibacterial properties of the composite showed that sericin had a significant inhibitory effect against S.

In the present study nanocomposite fibers and film scaffolds based on poly (2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate) and microcrystalline cellulose were prepared by electrospinning method and solvent casting method, respectively. Paclitaxel (20 ppm) was incorporated during the preparation of fibers and film to result in paclitaxelincorporated nanocomposite film and fibers with an encapsulation efficiency of 63% and 72%, respectively. These prepared nanocomposite films and fibers were characterized and confirmed by FTIR, XRD and SEM analysis. The biocompatibility of the nanocomposite scaffolds were assessed using VERO cell lines. The in vitro release of paclitaxel from the nanocomposite fibers, and film was found to be 74 AE 1.2% and 64 AE 1.2%, respectively.
