1 Introduction
In recent years, the development of electrospun nanofibers has
been extremely demanded due to the excellence in biomedical
research, owing to their high porosity and specific surface area
Utilization of the electrospun nanofibers has provided a great
in-terest in textile technology, tissue engineering, and would dressing,
as well as a drug delivery system Electrospinning was therefore
referred to as afiber production technique It employed an electric
force to draw charges threads of polymer solution and polymer
melts up to the nano-scalefibers[1,2] Utilization of the
electro-spinning technique has therefore captured the interest in
nano-scalefiber formation From a fundamental point of view,
electro-spinning was regarded as a well-known and versatile technique to
fabricatefiber materials This technique has also gained many
in-terests for making compositefibers, porous structure fibers,
poly-mer fibers and so on This technique provided significant
advantages such as high surface area to volume ratio, ease offiber
functionalization, ease of material combination, ease of fiber deposition onto other substratefibers, as well as a relatively low cost of the mass production process[3,4]
Our research group has successfully developed the hydrogel composites for a drug delivery system[5e7] Utilization of hydrogel based materials was strongly demonstrated to achieve low toxicity, low immunogenicity and improved compatibility It was therefore remarkable to note that the utilization of the hydrogel based ma-terials was versatile in various research sectors, including food technology, medical device, pharmaceutical technology, as well as cosmetics[8e10] In order to use the hydrogel based materials in medical technology with higher efficiency, the development of phenolic acid grafted hydrogels was considered as one of the most important approaches for its bioactivity[11] The phenolic grafted hydrogel was successfully prepared by a chemical coupling tech-nique, the enzyme catalyzed method, the free radical mediated grafting method, as well as the electrochemical technique[12e15]
An example of phenolic acid was referred to as coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and sinapic acid as suggested by Aludatt
et al.[16] The significant enhancement in the phenolic acid loaded hydrogel was due to its non-cytotoxicity, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity, antitumor activity, anti-allergic activity, as well as anti-diabetic activity
To use the phenolic loaded hydrogel with higher efficiency, the development of materials in the nano-fibers form was therefore

Trang 2proposed In 2013, Bosworth et al.[17]reported on state of the art of
the composite prepared from an electrospunfibers based hydrogel
The application was very versatile in medical technology sector,
such as regenerative medine, drug delivery system, as well as
chemical sensor Han et al.[18]and Zhang et al.[19]also developed
electrospunfibers for protein release based on emulsion technique
The utilization of the electrospun hydrogel was also strongly
evident in a scaffold based material as reported by Liu et al.[20]
Recently, the electrospun hydrogel was also extented to bio-based
materials Mendes et al [21] and Bosiger et al [22] reported
hybrid electrospun chitosan and phospholipids for transdermal
drug delivery and antimicrobial treatment
Therefore, we wish to extend our research work on hydrogel
based composites in drug delivery The objective of this research
work is to utilize the electrospinning technique, in order to prepare
electrospun gallic acid-loaded poly vinyl alcohol based composite
fibers Physico-chemical properties of the materials were therefore
evaluated Their antioxidant properties and in vitro release
char-acteristics were then tested and reported
2 Experimental
2.1 Materials
Poly vinyl alcohol (molecular weight 100,000) were purchased
from chemical-supply Pty Ltd, Australia Tetraethyl orthosilicate
(TEOS) and gallic acid (GA) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich,
USA They were employed as a crosslinking agent and a bioactive
compound, respectively Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) was
purchased from VWR Cief Science Amresco, USA Acetic acid was
purchased from Labscan, Thailand All of the chemical reagents
were used as received without further purification
2.2 Methods
2.2.1 Preparation of Neat and Gallic Acid-Loaded polyvinyl alcohol
Fiber Mats
For preparing electrospun polymer matrixfibers, the 10% w/v of
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was dissolved in DI water and heated at
80C Subsequently, 2.5, 5, 7.5 %wt of gallic acid (GA) (based on
weight of PVA) were added into PVA solution The mixture was
stirred for 4 h at room temperature to achieve a homogeneous
solution The electrospinning system, equipped with a high voltage
power supply unit under afixed electric field of 15 kV/15 cm, was
used to provide high voltage The positive electrode with a high
voltage power was connected to the needle tip Aluminum foil
wrapped around the drum collector
2.2.2 Total phenolic content
Analysis of total phenolic contents of the GA/PVA electrospun
fibers was determined based on Folin-Ciocalteau test[23] The 2.5,
5, 7.5% PVA/GA electrospunfibers were immersed in water for 3 h
and then the solution was reacted with 2 N folin & ciocalteu's
phenol reagent solution and vortexed immediately After that, 7%w/
v Na2CO3 solution was added to this mixture The mixture was
shaken and left to incubate for 2 h and absorbance was measured
using a microplate reader at 765 nm Gallic acid was used as
standard, and the total phenolic content was expressed as mg gallic
acid equivalent per gram of sample (GAE/g extract)
2.2.3 Antioxidant activities
The antioxidant activities of the GA/PVA electrospunfibers were
monitored using DPPH radical scavenging, ABTSþ radical
scav-enging assay, and Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)
a DPPH, radical scavenging assay DPPH, radical scavenging activity of 2.5, 5, and 7.5% of GA/PVA electrospun fibers was determined according to the method of Pang et al.[24] The reaction mixture consisted of the sample and 0.3 mM of DPPH radical solution in methanol The mixture was kept in the dark for 30 min The absorbance of the reaction mixture was then measured using a microplate reader at a wavelength of
517 nm The scavenging activity (%) was calculated as follows:
Scavenging activityð%Þ ¼
ðAblank AsampleÞ Ablank
100
where Ablankand Asample are the absorbance values of the blank solution (0.3 mM DPPH solution) and the sample solution, respectively
b ABTS,þradical scavenging assay
The ABTS,þ radical cation scavenging capacity of the GA/PVA
electrospun fibers was determined according to the procedure described by Finley et al.[23] The ABTS,þradical cation solution was obtained from the reaction of 2.6 mM potassium persulfate in water with 7.4 mM ABTS,þin methanol for 12 h in the dark The
stock solution was diluted with methanol to obtain an absorbance
of 0.7± at 734 nm with a microplate reader Then, sample release solutions, obtained from 2.5, 5, and 7.5% GA/PVA electrospunfibers immersing in water, were reacted with ABTS,þsolution and
incu-bated for 2 h ABTS,þradical scavenging capacity was calculated using the following formula:
Scavenging activityð%Þ ¼
ðAblank AsampleÞ Ablank
100
where Ablankis the absorbance of the ABTS,þradical without the
antioxidant materials and Asampleis the absorbance of the ABTS,þ radical in the presence of the antioxidant materials after 2 h
c Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) The antioxidant capacity of 2.5, 5, and 7.5% GA/PVA electro-spunfibers was estimated spectrophotometrically following the procedure of Yang et al [25] The Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) reagent was prepared by mixing acetate buffer, 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)-S-triazine (TPTZ) solution TPTZ in HCl and FeCl3in the proportion of 10:1:1 Freshly prepared working FRAP reagent was pipetted using micropipette and mixed with the solution An intense blue color complex was formed when ferric tripyridyl triazine (Fe3þ TPTZ) complex was reduced to ferrous (Fe2þ) form and recorded at 593 nm against a reagent blank (FRAP reagent) The calibration curve was prepared by plotting the absorbance at 593 nm versus known concentrations of FeSO4
and Trolox was used as the positive control The reducing power was expressed as mg of Trolox equivalent per gram of sample (mg TE/g extract) All the determinations were performed in triplicates
d In vitro gallic acid release study The electrospunfibers of PVA with different GA concentrations were cut into circular shape with 1.5 cm diameter pieces and the initial weight was measured Each specimen was then placed in a tube containing 30 mL phosphate buffer saline solution (PBS) The tubes containing the solutions were then incubated in a shaking water bath at 37C ranging between 0 and 2880 min The medium
Trang 3solution was removed, the fresh medium with equal amount was
replaced, and the amount of GA release from the GA/PVA
electro-spunfibers was measured using a microplate reader by measuring
the absorbance at 260 nm
2.3 Instruments
The surface morphology was determined using scanning
elec-tron microscope (JEOL JSM-6400) The samples were cut into
cir-cular shape with an average diameter of 1.5 cm Specimens were
coated with a thin gold layer using a sputter Thefiber diameters
were measured using a SemAphore 4.0 software at 20000
magnification More than 50 individual fibers were measured for
their diameters and reported as mean± SD
The chemical structure was determined by Fourier transform
infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometer (SPECTRUM ONE, Perkin
Elmer) Samples were scanned over range of 400e4000 cm1at
room temperature and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) mode at a
resolution of 4 cm1
Thermal stability was evaluated by thermo gravimetric analysis
(209 F3 Tarsus, NETZSCH) The samples were heated from room
temperature to 700C with a heating rate of 10C/min under
ni-trogen atmosphere
Thermal behavior was investigated using a differential scanning
calorimeter (204 F1 Pheonix) under nitrogen atmosphere The
samples were heated from room temperature to 300C at a heating
rate of 10C/min
A Varian Cary 5000 UV-Vis NIR spectrophotometer (Agilent
Technologies, CA, USA), equipped with a transmittance accessory,
was employed to record the electronic spectrum of the samples in
the wavelengths of 200e900 nm This technique allowed the
absorbance spectra of the samples to be studied The accessory
consisted of a 110-nm diameter integrating sphere and an in-built
high-performance photomultiplier Each sample was placed in a
sample cell, which was specifically designed for the instrument A
baseline was recorded and calibrated using a polytetra
fluoro-ethylene (PTFE) reference cell
3 Results and discussion
Electrospun characteristics of the GA/PVA electrospun fibers
were successfully conducted.Fig 1exhibits the FTIR spectra of the
GA/PVA electrospun fibers Note that at a wavenumber of
3400 cm1, it was attributed to the characteristic peak of OeH and
NeH[26] Furthermore, it was found that the electrospun poly vinyl
alcohol exhibited the CeH stretching vibration at approximately
2930 cm1 It was slightly shifted to a higher wavenumber when
the gallic acid was loaded into the electrospun fibers It was
obviously observed that the characteristic peak at 1710 cm1was due to the C]O stretching vibration of the carboxyl group from the poly vinyl alcohol[27] The peak of the OeH bending vibration was observed at 1250 cm1[28] Meanwhile, the characteristic peaks of the electrospunfibers from 500 to 1000 cm1did not show obvious
changes in their functional groups
The thermal behavior of the GA/PVA electrospun fibers was investigated through the thermal gravimetric analysis.Fig 2shows the thermal decomposition characteristic of the GA/PVA electro-spunfibers It was worth to note that the thermal decomposition can be categorized into three different regions From room tem-perature to 200C, a 10% weight loss was observed; it involved the removal of water The GA/PVA electrospunfibers easily adsorbed moisture It commonly has a strong affinity for water adsorption and, therefore, may be easily hydrated, resulting in a molecule with
a rather disordered structure[29] Between 200 and 500C, weight loss was due to the decomposition of the polyvinyl alcohol The weight loss of the sample was due to pyrolysis; the electrospun fibers decomposed, producing CO and CO2in this step On the other hand, in the presence of the gallic acid, the change of weight loss was shifted to a slightly higher temperature A possible reason for this may be the higher thermal stability provided by the phenolic content due to the aromatic group Above 500C, the change in the weight loss of the electrospunfibers was terminated The product was changed to char and residual
Fig 3exhibits the DSC curve of GA/PVA electrospunfibers The glass transition temperature was estimated to be 50C With the existence of the gallic acid, the glass transition temperature was slightly shifted to higher temperature After that, with the incre-ment on temperature, the second sharp peak appearing nearby
190 C was concerned with an endothermic effect induced by melting of the poly vinyl alcohol[30] The endothermic peak was slightly shifted to lower temperature with the increasing of gallic acid due to the interaction between the carbonyl group and the amine group in the compositefiber system (Fig 4)
However, it was controversial that with the existence of the gallic acid, the temperature region of the endothermic peak should
be shifted to higher temperature It was due to the fact that the gallic acid structure was involved in the phenolic compound, and it was subsequently difficult to decompose when the composite fi-bers was heated to high temperature [31] However, it was remarkable to note that with the existence of the gallic acid, the crystallinity of the compositefibers was decreased, resulting in the melting absorption peak becoming broad and shifting to lower temperature Next to this, the second endothermic peak for the compositefibers was found to appeared at ~320C.

Trang 4Morphological properties of the GA/PVA electrospunfibers were
investigated by SEM With the magnification of 20000, the
diameter of composite fibers was estimated to be 1e5 micron
Highly uniform and smooth composite fibers were prepared
without the occurrence of bead defects It was remarkable to note
that for the GA/PVA electrospun fibers, some bulges could be
detected It was believed to be the phenolic group, showing the
shape of spindle and sphere On the other hand, with the increment
of gallic acid, the diameter of the electrospun fibers increased
While the supply voltage and electric field were constant, the
process became more difficult The diameter of the electrospun
fibers was therefore increased This discussion was strongly
asso-ciated with the previous article reported by Yang et al.[32]
3.1 Release profile of gallic acid from GA/PVA electrospun fibers The release of gallic acid from the GA/PVA electrospunfibers into phosphate buffer solution pH 7.4 was measured by using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and the results concerning the concentra-tion of accumulative release versus the submersion time are shown
inFig 5 Atfirst 60 min after submersion, the burst release of the sample was observed The gallic acid released was gradual (60e2880 min), with a lower release rate It was attributed to the release of the encapsulated gallic acid, which was fully released after 2880 min The result showed that the release of the gallic acid from the GA/PVA electrospunfibers is related to the concentration
of gallic acid When the gallic acid content was increased, more gallic acid percent was released The maximum gallic acid release was observed for the GA/PVA electrospunfibers containing 2.5, 5, and 7.5% gallic acid, which were determined to be 9.75 ± 2.2%, 10.44± 3.3%, and 10.87 ± 0.36%, respectively
3.2 Total phenolic content and antioxidant activities 3.2.1 Total phenolic content
Total phenolic contents of the GA/PVA electrospunfibers were displayed inTable 1 The 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% GA/PVA electrospun fibers had the average total phenolic content of 35.01 ± 7.55, 42.23± 9.06, and 44.42 ± 2.84 mg GAE/g extract, respectively 3.2.2 DPPH, radical scavenging assay
The antioxidant capacity was analyzed using DPPH, scavenging assay (Table1), which showed an increase with the amount of gallic acid The highest DPPH, scavenging activity found in the 7.5% GA/ PVA electrospunfiber was 48.58 ± 0.19%, followed by those of the Fig 3 DSC thermoscans of the gallic acid-loaded electrospun poly vinyl alcohols.

Trang 52.5% and 5% GA/PVA electrospun fibers (45.24 ± 5.42% and
47.98± 2.78%), respectively
3.2.3 ABTSþradical scavenging assay
As shown inTable 1, the ABTSþvalues of GA/PVA electrospun
fibers increased with increasing gallic acid concentration, and the
ABTSþ radical scavenging activity ranged from 34.42 ± 5.86% to
95.67± 0.29%
3.2.4 Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay
Compared with the neat electrospun poly vinyl alcoholfibers,
the values of FRAP of the GA/PVA electrospunfibers were higher
than that of the control sample The 7.5% GA/PVA electrospunfibers
showed the highest FRAP scavenging activity (2.70± 0.43 mg TE/g
extract), followed by those of 2.5% and 5% g GA/PVA electrospun
fibers (1.39 ± 0.43 and 2.41 ± 0.25 mg TE/g extract)
Thefinding that the incorporation of gallic acid into a polymer
matrix caused increase in the antioxidant activity was also reported
by Rui et al.[33]who showed that the gallic acid-grafted-chitosan
films possessed enhanced antioxidant activities and the effect
increased when increasing the concentration of gallic acid by using
DPPH and ABTSþradical scavenging assay
4 Conclusion
We investigated the physico-chemical properties of the gallic
acid loaded electrospun poly vinyl alcohol basedfibers TEOS was
employed as a crosslinking agent The thermal, morphological, structural and surface properties of the gallic acid loaded electro-spun poly vinyl alcohols were characterized With increasing the gallic acid content, the diameter of the poly vinyl alcohol increased The gallic acid loaded electrospun poly vinyl alcohol basedfibers exhibited excellent antioxidant properties The release profile of the chitosan-based composite investigated in phosphate buffer solution was found to follow the pseudo-Fickian model for 48 h The gallic acid loaded electrospun poly vinyl alcohol basedfibers also exhibited good properties for use in a drug delivery system, in the wound healing and cosmetics
