Abstract
In this study, we synthesized a konjac glucomannan (KGM)/poly dopamine (PDA)/Oxaliplatin nanofiber membrane with efficient and controlled drug release properties by using electrospinning technology. The structure of the polymer network nanofiber membrane was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). KGM/PDA nanofiber membrane showed uniform sizes with an average diameter of 100–120 nm. The results revealed that the association of KGM and PDA to synthesize nanofiber membrane could be attributed to hydrogen bonds. Compared with KGM, the KGM/PDA nanofiber membrane exhibited higher moisture adsorption and drug release ability. Based on superior drug release ability, the KGM/PDA nanofibers provided a potential oxaliplatin carriers in application of drug release. This work contributed to a facile pathway on the construction of biomaterial nanofiber membrane by using polysaccharides. Scheme 1.
