Exploiting Inherent Instability of 2D Black Phosphorus for Controlled Phosphate Release from Blow-Spun Poly (lactide-co-glycolide) Nanofibers
Efforts have been made to stabilize black phosphorus (BP) to utilize its tunable band gap and anisotropic mechanical properties. Here, the intrinsic instability of BP is exploited for controlled therapeutic ion release, namely phosphate. BP was incorporated into degradable poly (lactide-co-glycolide) fibers via solution blow spinning. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the incorporation of 2D-BP into the nanocomposite along with ICP-AES. It was also demonstrated that modifying the initial loading of 2D-BP in the PLGA fibers permitted tunable release rates of phosphate ions over an 8 weeks in vitro study
