The main objective of this study was to fabricate biopolymer-based microbeads, providing enteric properties and controlled release of diclofenac sodium, using layer-by-layer technique. The calcium pectinate microbeads have been designed and coated with chitosan and pectin multilayers. Drug release was performed in simulate gastric fluid (pH 1.2) for 2 hours, followed by pH 6.8 buffer for 8 hours. The effects of chitosan concentration, number of layer and drying technique on drug release were investigated. The results showed that the calcium pectinate microbeads could be simply prepared by ionotropic gelation and then coated with chitosan and pectin solutions using layer-by-layer procedure. The diameter of the microbeads ranged from 800 to 1000 μm for air-dried samples and from 1 to 2 mm for freeze-dried samples. The freeze-dried microbeads had a rough surface and many pores inside, as observed by SEM. The microbeads coated with 4% chitosan/4% pectin revealed a slower drug release than those coated with 1% chitosan/4% pectin and demonstrated a controlled release pattern. Moreover, different drying techniques and numbers of layer also influenced drug release behavior of the prepared microbeads.

A novel and facile method was developed to produce hybrid graphene oxide (GO)–polyelectrolyte (PE) capsules using erythrocyte cells as templates. The capsules are easily produced through the layer-by-layer technique using alternating polyelectrolyte layers and GO sheets. The amount of GO and therefore its coverage in the resulting capsules can be tuned by adjusting the concentration of the GO dispersion during the assembly. The capsules retain the approximate shape and size of the erythrocyte template after the latter is totally removed by oxidation with NaOCl in water. The PE/GO capsules maintain their integrity and can be placed or located on other surfaces such as in a device. When the capsules are dried in air, they collapse to form a film that is approximately twice the thickness of the capsule membrane. AFM images in the present study suggest a film thickness of approx. 30 nm for the capsules in the collapsed state implying a thickness of approx. 15 nm for the layers in the collapsed capsule membrane. The polyelectrolytes used in the present study were polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and polystyrenesulfonate sodium salt (PSS). Capsules where characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Raman microscopy, the constituent layers by zeta potential and GO by TEM, XRD, and Raman and FTIR spectroscopies.
