Poly(Vinylamine) Derived N-Doped C-Dots with Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activities
(MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute), 2021)
Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-doped C-dots) was synthesized by using poly(vinyl amine) (PVAm) as a nitrogen source and citric acid (CA) as a carbon source via the hydrothermal method. Various weight ratios of CA and PVAm ...
Chondroitin Sulfate-Based Cryogels for Biomedical Applications
(MDPI, 2021)
Cryogels attained from natural materials offer exceptional properties in applications such as tissue engineering. Moreover, Halloysite Nanotubes (HNT) at 1:0.5 weight ratio were embedded into CS cryogels to render additional ...
Improved Biomedical Properties of Polydopamine-Coated Carbon Nanotubes
(MDPI, 2021)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) due to their outstanding mechanical, thermal, chemical, and optical properties were utilized as a base material and were coated with polydopamine (PDA) (PDA@CNT) via the simple self-polymerization ...
Biocompatible Glycol Chitosan Microgels as Effective Drug Carriers
(MDPI, 2023)
Glycol chitosan (GC) is a chitosan (CH) derivative with improved water solubility with regards to CH which affords significant solubility advantages. In this study, microgels of GC as p(GC) were synthesized by a microemulsion ...
Biofouling and Mitigation Methods: A Review
(AMG Transcend Association, 2023)
Biofouling accumulates living organisms on surfaces in contact with the water and causes significant economic, structural, and microbial problems on ship hulls, piers, oil rigs, power plants, pipework, water treatment ...
Physically and Chemically Crosslinked, Tannic Acid Embedded Linear PEI-Based Hydrogels and Cryogels with Natural Antibacterial and Antioxidant Properties
(MDPI, 2023)
Linear polyethyleneimine (L-PEI) was obtained from the acidic hydrolysis of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and employed in the synthesis of physically crosslinked L-PEI hydrogel, PC-L-PEIH, chemically crosslinked L-PEI hydrogel, ...
Force-Based Characterization of the Wetting Properties of LDPE Surfaces Treated with CF4 and H-2 Plasmas
(MDPI, 2023)
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films are widely used in packaging, insulation and many other commodity applications due to their excellent mechanical and chemical properties. However, the water-wetting and water-repellant ...
Poly(Glycerol) Microparticles as Drug Delivery Vehicle for Biomedical Use
(MDPI, 2023)
Glycerol (Gly) is a well-known, FDA-approved molecule posing three hydroxyl groups. Since Gly is biocompatible, here, it was aimed to prepare poly(Glycerol) (p(Gly)) particles directly for the first time for the delivery ...
Physically Crosslinked Chondroitin Sulfate (CS)-Metal Ion (M: Fe(III), Gd(III), Zn(II), and Cu(II)) Particles for Versatile Applications and Their Biosafety
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a well-known glycosaminoglycan, was physically crosslinked with Fe(III), Gd(III), Zn(II), and Cu(II) ions to obtain CS-Fe(III), CS-Gd(III), CS-Zn(II), and CS-Cu(II) polymeric particles for ...
A Review on Phyto-Therapeutic Approaches in Alzheimer's Disease
(MDPI, 2023)
Neurodegenerative diseases occur due to progressive and sometimes irreversible loss of function and death of nerve cells. A great deal of effort is being made to understand the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. ...
