Development of silver based antimicrobial films for coating and food packaging applications

Martínez Abad, Antonio 31 March 2014 (has links)
Aunque la plata se usa como componente clave en el control microbiano en incontables aplicaciones, las tecnologías basadas en plata disponibles son escasas. Esto radica en la dificultad para evaluar su eficacia debido a problemas de estabilidad y de especiación. En la presente tesis, iones de plata fueron incorporados en matrices biopoliméricas para obtener materiales de prolongada capacidad antimicrobiana basados en su liberación sostenida. Se realizó un estudio profundo de las interacciones químicas entre las especies activas de plata, las bacterias, y posibles ligandos presentes en el medio de acción. En condiciones óptimas, la plata demostró ser eficaz en el rango de los nanomoles. Sin embargo, interacciones químicas con varios ligandos afectaron drásticamente tanto su eficacia como la evaluación de la viabilidad bacteriana. La incorporación de iones de plata en películas de EVOH no alteró las propiedades físico-químicas de los materiales que mostraron una rápida liberación del contenido de plata al entrar en contacto con la humedad. Esto se reflejó en la inactivación de las bacterias a concentraciones muy bajas (0.0001wt.%) en condiciones óptimas. Cuando se incorporaron iones de plata en PLA por casting o mezclado-fundido, la liberación y el rendimiento antimicrobiano se prolongaron de días a meses, dependiendo del contenido, el método de incorporación, la humedad o el pH del medio de liberación. Una etapa inicial de liberación mayor pudo ser atenuada gracias a la aplicación de una capa de cera de abejas, lo que permitió adaptar los perfiles de liberación a demanda y cumplir con la legislación vigente en diversas condiciones de liberación. Las películas demostraron un alto efecto antibacteriano y antiviral contra los patógenos transmitidos por los alimentos más comunes en medios sintéticos, en superficie y en alimentos líquidos y sólidos. Este estudio representa un avance en la comprensión de la eficacia antimicrobiana de la plata y destaca su posible idoneidad para la fabricación de materiales de envasado de alimentos, de contacto con alimentos u otras aplicaciones. / Martínez Abad, A.

Electrospinning of Poly(£`-Caprolactone)

Hsu, Chen-Ming 29 April 2003 (has links)
The objectives of the present work are to produce porous polymeric scaffolds with Poly (ƒÕ-Caprolactone), PCL, by electrospinning. The structure in the electrospun polymer has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The effects of process variables such as voltage, solution concentration and deposition distance on the structure have been studied. The physical phenomena associated with the electrospinning process have been highlighted through high speed digital photography. The feasibility of using additives to the solution to control the structure of the porous construct has been examined. The data indicate that a range of structural morphologies can be produced in the electrospun polymer. Solid and hollow sub-micron beads can be produced by electrospraying of dilute solutions. Beyond a critical solution concentration of about 4 wt% PCL, elongational flow stabilizes the fibrous structure and a web of interconnected sub-micron fibers may be obtained. The average fiber diameter increases with concentration. A combination of elongated beads and fibers, known as the bead-on-string morphology is also observed under many conditions. The fibrous structure is stabilized at high voltages. The fiber diameter in the electrospun polymer typically exhibits a bimodal distribution. The addition of DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide) to the solution increases the deposition rate significantly and leads to extensive splaying, thereby reducing the fiber diameter to about 150 nm. DSC data indicate that electrospinning may lower the degree of crystallinity in the polymer. The wide of range of structural characteristics that may be obtained in the electrospun polymer make it suitable for many biomedical applications including medical textiles, drug delivery, membrane separation, tissue engineering and organ regeneration.
