The main challenge in treating injuries is excessive bleeding whereas intervention is required if the body's hemostatic systems fail to control the bleeding. Herein, a novel nanocomposite consisting of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer functionalized halloysite nanotube (HNT) with a highly porous structure via electrospinning is developed. HNT is functionalized by PAMAM via divergent synthetic routes from zero to third-generation numbers. The effect of different percentages and generation numbers of PAMAM dendrimer (G1, G2, and G3) functionalized HNT on PLA is studied using physicochemical nanocomposite characteristics. These resultant nanocomposites provide a nanofibrous structure with appropriate physicochemical characteristics such as mechanical properties, surface wettability, and water permeability. The hemostatic assays indicate that nanocomposite with PAMAM G3 functionalized HNT have the quickest blood clotting time due to the abundant amino functional group. Furthermore, the nanocomposites with 10 wt% of nanoparticles significantly promote cellular behavior in vitro. The in vivo study demonstrates that PLA/PAMAM G3 functionalized HNT promotes angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization in the wound sites of the rat model, as well as inhibiting inflammatory response. The findings indicate that nanofibrous structure and the presence of dendrimer functionalized HNT have a synergetic effect on the enhanced nanocomposite wound healing performance.
治疗损伤的主要挑战是过度出血,而如果身体的止血系统无法控制出血,则需要进行干预。在此,通过静电纺丝开发了一种由聚乳酸(PLA)和聚(酰胺-胺)(PAMAM)树枝状大分子官能化具有高度多孔结构的埃洛石纳米管(HNT)组成的新型纳米复合材料。HNT 通过发散的合成路线从零代到第三代被 PAMAM 官能化。通过物理化学纳米复合材料特性研究了不同百分比和代数的 PAMAM 树枝状大分子(G1、G2 和 G3)官能化 HNT 对 PLA 的影响。这些得到的纳米复合材料提供了具有适当物理化学特性的纳米纤维结构,例如机械性能、表面润湿性和水渗透性。止血测定表明,由于含有丰富的氨基官能团,PAMAM G3 官能化 HNT 的纳米复合材料具有最快的凝血时间。此外,含有 10wt%纳米颗粒的纳米复合材料在体外显著促进细胞行为。体内研究表明,PLA/PAMAM G3 官能化 HNT 促进了大鼠模型伤口部位的血管生成、胶原蛋白沉积和上皮再形成,并抑制了炎症反应。研究结果表明,纳米纤维结构和树枝状大分子官能化 HNT 的存在对增强纳米复合材料的伤口愈合性能具有协同作用。
