Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Stability Enhancement and GI Retention

180
Body:Improving a drug's stability in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is paramount for enhancing its bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. Various strategies are employed to protect the drug from the harsh gastric milieu and to ensure its release and absorption at the desired site within the GI tract.Polymer coatings are one such method used to shield drugs from the stomach's acidic environment. By preventing premature drug release, these coatings improve the bioavailability of unstable...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Textile Engineering
  • Sustainable Chemistry

Background:

  • Natural fiber textiles often lack advanced functionalities like water repellency and antimicrobial properties.
  • Current functional coatings frequently rely on synthetic chemicals, posing environmental concerns.
  • There is a growing demand for sustainable and high-performance textile treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a biobased dispersion coating for natural fiber textiles.
  • To impart hydrophobicity, stain resistance, and antimicrobial properties using natural wax and lignin nanoparticles.
  • To assess the coating's durability, cost-effectiveness, and recyclability for commercial viability.

Main Methods:

  • Formulation of a biobased dispersion coating using natural wax and lignin nanoparticles.
  • Application of the coating onto natural fiber textiles.
  • Evaluation of coating properties including hydrophobicity, stain resistance, and antimicrobial activity.
  • Durability testing and techno-economic assessment for commercial-scale production.
  • Recyclability assessment of coated textiles using the Ioncell® process.

Main Results:

  • The biobased coating successfully provided hydrophobicity, stain resistance, and antimicrobial functionality to natural fiber textiles.
  • The coating demonstrated good durability, suitable for demanding applications like workwear and sportswear.
  • Techno-economic assessment confirmed feasibility and scalability, with competitive pricing (379-389 USD/t).
  • Carnauba wax was identified as the primary cost contributor (81% of variable costs).
  • Coated cotton textiles recycled via Ioncell® retained original material properties, indicating recyclability.

Conclusions:

  • The developed biobased coating offers a sustainable and high-performance alternative to synthetic treatments for natural textiles.
  • The coating is cost-competitive and scalable for industrial production.
  • It enhances the functionality of natural fibers, reducing reliance on synthetic materials.
  • The study supports the development of environmentally friendly textiles with advanced properties.
