Abstract

Hydrogel wound dressings were developed through cross-linking reactions of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with glutaraldehyde and by the addition of diclofenac sodium and rutin as anti-inflammatory agents. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were added to improve mechanically and release properties. CNC was isolated from pineapple leaf fibers through the ammonium persulfate method resulting in a mixture of rod-like whisker and spherical morphology. The mechanical properties of hydrogels are increasing with the addition of CNC. Hydrogels containing 8% CNC exhibited 7.266 N/mm2 tensile strength, 156.3% maximum strain, and 700.3 N/mm2 elastic modulus. Drug release tests containing sodium diclofenac were done by taking incubated phosphate buffer saline samples in a pH 7.4 environment and showed that all CNC variations tested are controllable for the first 30 min compared to the sample without CNC. Sodium diclofenac is easily eluted from hydrogel due to its polar properties, and all samples almost demonstrated the same release profile. PVA hydrogels showed fluctuating concentrations of diclofenac compared to others. While hydrogels containing rutin showed a controlled release mode, the addition of CNC in PVA resulted in a slower release of rutin, possibly due to the better binding between CNC and rutin. To conclude, CNC has successfully improved the performance of PVA hydrogels, including the drug release properties.

Abstract

Heavy metal contamination in open waters is one of the most urgent environmental problems that needs to be addressed. Pb(II) ion is a toxic heavy metal ion and is often found contaminating nature. Adsorption is one of the methods that is widely used to overcome heavy metal ion pollution such as Pb(II). One source of material that is low-cost, environmentally friendly, and readily available for use as an adsorbent is carrageenan. Carrageenan is an anionic polysaccharide and is a biopolymer that is widely found in the red algae Rhodophyceae. In this research, the adsorbent of κ-carrageenan beads made from food-grade κ-carrageenan cross-linked with K+ions was successfully made for the adsorption of Pb(II) ions which was confirmed using FTIR. The adsorbent swelling degree was 25.57% in aqua dm and 83.44% in 100 ppm Pb(II) solution. The results of the adsorption kinetics study show that adsorption follows a pseudo-second order kinetic model with a rate constant of 0.03399 g mg−1 min−1 and an adsorption capacity of 5.48 mg/g
