Abstract

In this article, a novel triple-stimuli hydrogel was prepared by simultaneous formation of super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) and crosslinking of poly (acrylic acid) grafted onto kappa carrageenan (κC-g-PAA). The structure, thermal stability, surface morphology, and magnetic property of the κC-g-PAA/SPION hydrogel were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM–EDAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Moreover, swelling capacity of the obtained hydrogel was measured at different temperature, pH, and magnetic-field to assess the sensitivity of κC-g-PAA/SPION hydrogel. This synthetic hydrogel was also examined as a controlled drug delivery system and defrasirox release was investigated at different temperature, pH, and magnetic-field. The in vitro antibacterial activity of κC-g-PAA/SPION hydrogel was studied against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria where the results showed no antibacterial activity of this new hydrogel. In vitro biocompatibility experiments were undertaken using human bladder epithelial cell line HTB 5637. These results indicated the synthesized κC-g-PAA/SPION hydrogel are nontoxic that will be useful for biomedical applications.

We introduce a novel triple-stimuli and biocompatible kappa-carrageenan-g-poly(acrylic acid)/SPION nanocomposite as a drug delivery system
