Abstract
Rectorite (REC)-encapsulated lysozyme (LY)-alginate (ALG) nanogels (NGs) were prepared by adding ALG-REC composites suspensions into LY solutions at the mass ratio of 1:2. The morphology of the NGs and the NGs-assembled nanofibrous mats were studied by transmission electron microscope and field emission scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The composition of NGs-immobilized nanofibrous mats was detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The NGs-assembled nanofibrous mats with the addition of REC could enhance the inhibition against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, NGs-coated mats reduced the toxicity of cellulose mats on mouse lung fibroblasts using MTT assay. Besides, the addition of REC in the NGs improved the cell compatibility of NGs-assembled nanofibrous mats.
