Encapsulation of active substances into nanofibers and possibilities of their application

The master thesis was based on the optimization of the production of nanofiber covers and to gaine the product for subsequent functional use. The production of nanofiber covers was made by electrospinning and forcespinning from selected materials. Polyhydroxybutyrate, gelatin, chitosan and alginate were used as starting materials. After successful optimization, these materials were enriched with active ingredients ampicillin and ibuprofen for the functionalized use of covers for more effective wound healing. The theoretical part was focused on the issue of skin, healing processes, types of wounds and nanofibers, the characterization of selected starting materials for the formation of nanofibers was also mentioned. The practical part was based on the lengthy optimization of the preparation of fiber covers and later enriched with active ingredients. Furthermore, combined covers made of different materials with contents of both active ingredients were designed. This was followed by the characterization of all prepared covers from the point of view of stability in the short and long term. The gradual release of active ingredients was determined spectrophotometrically and by hifh performance liquid chromatography. It was also important to determine the antimicrobial activity of selected active substances. At the end of all testing, combined coatings containing both active ingredients were used for safety testing with human keratinocyte cells (HaCaT). Safety testing was based on determining the viability of human cells using the MTT test, to verify the LDH test. A scratch test was also performed, a wound healing test after the application of devised combined covers
