This study synthesized poly(vinyl alcohol)/carboxymethyl chitosan/cyanidin (PVA/CMCS/CY) hydrogel films. First, PVA and CMCS were used to synthesize hydrogel films by ultraviolet irradiation. Meanwhile, CY was in situ combined into the hydrogel films through the electrostatic attraction between CMCS and CY. Next, the products were analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, contact angle test, swelling analysis, and mechanical property test. The results revealed that compared with PVA/CMCS hydrogel films, the PVA/CMCS/CY hydrogel films had an interporous structure and good swelling and mechanical properties. Moreover, the drug release experiments demonstrated that the PVA/CMCS/CY hydrogel films had a CY encapsulation efficiency of 33.5% with a sustained CY release of up to 60 h. Furthermore, the examined antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli showed that the porous PVA/CMCS/CY hydrogel films exhibited a certain inhibition. Cell viability experiments demonstrated that the PVA/CMCS/CY films displayed no obvious cytotoxicity to human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

This paper presents the dielectric characteristics of nanocomposite films of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) embedded with silver (Ag) nanoparticles and graphene oxide(GO). The nanocomposite films were fabricated by using the solvent casting approach. The morphological analysis was carried out through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The dielectric relaxation behavior of nanocomposite films was analyzed in the frequency range of 101 to 106 Hz, by varying GO loading. The temperature effect was investigated over the temperature range of 40 to 150 °C. The effect of ionic liquid (IL) was also explored by comparing the dielectric behavior of films fabricated without using ionic liquid. The conductive filler loading variation showed a significant effect on dielectric permittivity(ε′), complex impedance (Z*) and electric conductivity (σac). The obtained results revealed that the dielectric permittivity (ε′) increased by incorporating Ag nanoparticles and increasing GO loading in PVA matrix. An incremental trend in dielectric permittivity was observed on increasing the temperature, which is attributed to tunneling and hopping mechanism. With an increase in nanofiller loading, the real part of impedance (Z′) and imaginary part of impedance (Z″) were found to decrease. Further, the semicircular nature of Nyquist plot indicated the decrease in bulk resistivity on increasing GO loading, temperature and incorporating ionic liquid. On the basis of above findings, the obtained GO-Ag-PVA nanocomposite films can find promising applications in charge storage devices.
