Hybrid biocomposite scaffolds (HBS) that serve as a carrier for cell proliferation and differentiation are increasingly used for tissue regeneration. 3D hybrid scaffold based on collagen-grafted-chitosan-glucan fiber (CO-g-CGF-HBS) was prepared by freeze-drying technique. The swelling percentage, hydrolytic stability, and modulus of elasticity of HBS were enhanced after the chemical modification of CO with CGF. Pore size and porosity of HBS were decreased with an increased CGF ratio. HBS exhibits a higher reduction rate against different types of bacteria compared with a control sample. Thus, chemical modification of CO with different ratios of CGF significantly improved the physicochemical, antibacterial properties of HBS.
Novel nanofibers mats were fabricated by electrospinning of polyvinyl alcohol/hyaluronan (PVA/HA) solutions in the presence of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The AgNPs were synthesized by in-situ chemical reduction of silver ions (Ag+) using HA as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Narrow size distribution and spherical shape of AgNPs were achieved by optimizing the initial silver nitrate concentration (0.01 to 1 M) and reaction time (10-60 min). HA-AgNPs nanocomposite and PVA/HA-AgNPs nanofibrous mats were fabricated by electrospinning technique from aqueous solution containing a different mass ratio of PVA and HA-AgNPs and characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, DLS, XRD, TGA, and ATR-FTIR. Mechanical and rheological properties were also investigated and discussed. The novel nanofibrous mats show great potential in skin regeneration and drug carrier applications.

In-situ formed hyaluronan/silver (HA/Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were used to prepare composite fibers/fabrics for the first time. Different concentrations of silver nitrate (1, 2mg/100ml) were added at ambient temperature to sodium hyaluronate solution (40mg/ml), then the pH was increased to 8 by adding sodium hydroxide. The in-situ formed HA/Ag-NPs were used to prepare fibers/nonwoven fabrics by wet-dry-spinning technique (WDST). UV/vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, DLS, XPS, XRD and TGA were employed to characterize the structure and composition of the nanocomposite, surface morphology of fiber/fabrics, particle size of Ag-NPs, chemical interactions of Ag0 and HA functional groups, crystallinity and thermal stability of the wound dressing, respectively. The resultant HA/Ag-NPs1 and HA/Ag-NPs2 composite showed uniformly dispersed throughout HA fiber/fabrics (SEM), an excellent distribution of Ag-NPs with 25±2, nm size (TEM, DLS) and acceptable mechanical properties. The XRD analysis showed that the in-situ preparation of Ag-NPs increased the crystallinity of the resultant fabrics as well as the thermal stability. The antibacterial performance of medical HA/Ag-NPs fabrics was evaluated against gram negative bacteria E. coli K12, exhibiting significant bactericidal activity. The fibers did not show any cytotoxicity against human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT). In-vivo animal tests indicated that the prepared wound dressing has strong healing efficacy (non-diabetics/diabetics rat model) compared to the plain HA fabrics and greatly accelerated the healing process. Based on our results, the new HA/Ag-NPs-2mg nonwoven wound dressing fabrics can be used in treating wounds and chronic ulcers as well as cell carrier in different biological research and tissue engineering.
