The results of physical modification of dibutyrylchitin (DBCH) for the purpose of improvement of its imperfect mechanical properties are presented. Thus, the novel blends of DBCH and biodegradable aliphatic copolymer derived from ε-caprolactone, L-lactide and glycolide (PCLG) in various proportions were prepared and examined. DBCH/PCLG blends with PCLG contents between 6 - 50 wt% were successfully prepared in film form with the thickness in the range of 10 - 500 μm. The morphology of these blend films was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy. DBCH was found to be able to form miscible blends with PCLG polyester within the whole composition range studied; revealed that blends were composed of an amorphous homogeneous phase as evidenced by the presence of a single glass transition temperature, that to decrease with increasing PCLG content in materials. Furthermore, physical modification of DBCH with polyester resulted in superior mechanical properties – the blended materials exhibited a much higher toughness and elongation at break as well as a lower value of elasticity modulus.

In this study, a solution of dibutyrylchitin (DBC)/polylactide (PLA) blend micro and nanofibres were successfully fabricated using blends of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) as solvents. Fibres were produced from the solutions by electrospinning. The DBC/PLA blend solutions in various ratios were studied for electrospinning into micro/nanofibres. The morphology of the micro and nanofibres was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The biggest diameters of DBC/PLA fibres were obtained for the blended microfibres in ratios of 10/90 and 25/75. The smallest diameter was observed for pure polymers. The antibacterial properties were examined for materials obtained by electrospinning. In the experiments, materials with antibacterial properties were made. It is likely that the electrospun micro and nanofibres will be used in the native extracellular matrix for tissue engineering.

In view of ongoing interest in biodegradable polymers, dibutyrylchitin was used as a matrix for controlled release of a model substance. Transdermal systems (films) are presently more commonly used as an alternative to standard forms of drug delivery. The presented results are concerned with the release of ibuprofen from dibutyrylchitin film. The obtained transdermal films were modified by applying a control layer to slow down the release process. The matrices were also modified by adding nanoclay (Nanofil 2). Dibutyrylchitin matrices were tested for swelling and release kinetics using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The drug kinetics release was studied in phosphorus buffer of pH=5.5 at the temperature of 35˚C. Structural investigations of the obtained matrices were carried out by optical microscopy and FTIR spectrophotometry. An appropriate mathematical model was also fitted to the obtained experimental data

In order to improve the properties of their individual components, the compositions of dibutyrylchitin (DBC) and aliphatic polyesters (PCLG) were prepared and examined. The studied systems are homogeneous in a wide range of composition and molar masses of their components. The homogeneities of the blends made it possible to form smooth and transparent films, which were investigated by mechanical testing. It was found that the chemical structure and molar mass of a polyester component had an effect on mechanical properties of the systems. The films were subjected to hydrolytic degradation in media of various pH values (4.0, 7.4 and 13.0) at 37 °C. Furthermore, it was found that the molar mass and composition of the PCLG component clearly affected the rate of hydrolysis of the studied systems. The effect of hydrophilicity of the DBC/PCLG blends on degradation rate was also investigated. Consequently, by an appropriate choice of the components it is possible to control the profile of hydrolytic degradation of the DBC/PCLG systems.
