Rapid release and diminished stability are two of the limitations associated with the growth factors that are essentially used in dental applications. These growth factors are employed to enhance the quality and quantity of tissue or bone matter during regeneration. Therefore, drug delivery devices and systems have been developed to address these limitations. In this study, bovine serum albumin (BSA), as a representative growth factor, was successfully sustained by encapsulation with the medium-absorbable copolymer, poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) 70:30% mol, via the multiple emulsion method. Different PLG, PVA, and BSA concentrations were used to investigate their effects on the BSA encapsulation efficiency. The suitable ratios leading to a better characterization of microparticles and a higher encapsulation efficiency in producing encapsulated PLG microparticles were 8% (w/v) of PLG, 0.25% (w/v) of PVA, and 8% (w/v) of BSA. Furthermore, an in vitro release study revealed a bursting release of BSA from the encapsulated PLG microsphere in the early phase of development. Subsequently, a gradual release was observed over a period of eight weeks. Furthermore, to encapsulate LL-37, different proteins were used in conjunction with PLG under identical conditions with regard to the loading efficiency and morphology, thereby indicating high variations and poor reproducibility. In conclusion, the encapsulated PLG microparticles could effectively protect the protein during encapsulation and could facilitate sustainable protein release over a period of 60 days. Importantly, an optimal method must be employed in order to achieve a high degree of encapsulation efficiency for all of the protein or growth factors. Accordingly, the outcomes of this study will be useful in the manufacture of drug delivery devices that require medium-sustained release growth factors, particularly in dental treatments.

A ferromagnetic/insulator/ferromagnetic Rashba metal junction (FM/I/FRM) with both Rashba spin–orbit coupling (RSOC) and exchange energy splitting was studied theoretically. Two kinds of interactions in FRM generate the three metallic states in a FRM; the Rashba ring metal (RRM) state, the anomalous Rashba metal (ARM) state and the normal Rashba metal (NRM) state. The scattering method and the free-electron model are used to describe the transport properties of particles and to calculate the conductance spectrum and the spin polarization of current in the junction. The conductance spectrum in the applied voltage shows the prominent features at the boundaries not only for the three states of the FRM but also in the ARM state. In addition, the conductance in the RRM and ARM states is strongly influenced by both the thickness and barrier height of the insulator layer. We also found that the spin polarization obtains a high value in the ARM state and is not affected by the qualities of the insulator, unlike the RRM and NRM states. Obtaining high-spin polarization from FRM material can be useful to produce spintronic devices in future devices. Full article

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were grown on a stainless-steel foil by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The MWCNTs were functionalized with carboxylic groups (COOH) on their surfaces by using oxidation and acid (3:1 H2SO4/HNO3) treatments for improving the solubility property of them in the solvent. The functionalized MWCNTs (f-MWCNTs) were conducted to prepare the solution by continuous stir in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol (EG) and Triton X-100. The solution was deposited onto a bendable substrate such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with a fabricated silver interdigitated electrode for application in a room-temperature gas sensor. A homemade-doctor blade coater, an UNO R3 Arduino board and a L298N motor driver are presented as a suitable system for screen printing the solution onto the gas-sensing substrates. The different contents of f-MWCNTs embedded in PEDOT:PSS were compared in the gas response to ammonia (NH3), ethanol (C2H5OH), benzene (C6H6), and acetone (C3H6O) vapors. The results demonstrate that the 3.0% v/v of f-MWCNT solution dissolved in 87.8% v/v of PEDOT:PSS, 5.4% v/v of DMSO, 3.6% v/v of EG and 0.2% v/v of Triton X-100 shows the highest response to 80 ppm NH3. Finally, the reduction in the NH3 response under heavy substrate-bending is also discussed. Full article
