The effect of sulphur on the antibacterial properties of succinic acid-Cu(II) and mercaptosuccinic acid-Cu(II) MOFs
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
Microorganism such as bacteria, virus and fungi are causing significant health problems. Here, using succinic acid (SA) and mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) as organic ligand and Cu(II) ions as complexing agent SA-Cu(II) and ...
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 ...
Alpha-Glucosidase Enzyme Immobilized Dextran-Co Metal Nanoparticle Cryogel Composite Systems as Dual Catalyst with Enhanced Stability and Catalytic Activity
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023)
Here, dextran (Dex) cryogels were prepared and used for the immobilization of α-Glu enzyme via two different techniques of entrapment and covalent linking. The entrapment of α-Glu enzyme within Dex cryogels (α-GluE@Dex) ...
Carbon Tetrafluoride, Oxygen, and Air RF Plasma Modified Low-Density Polyethylene and Polydimethylsiloxane
(Springer, 2023)
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polydimethylsiloxane (silicone or PDMS) were exposed to low-pressure air, oxygen (O2), and carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) plasma to modify their surfaces. Plasma power and irradiation time ...
Removal of Cd(II), Co(II), Cr(III), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) ions from wastewater using polyethyleneimine (PEI) cryogels
(Academic Press, 2023)
The removal of the target analytes, Cd(II), Co(II), Cr(III), Ni(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) from contaminated waters was achieved using super porous polyethyleneimine (PEI) cryogels as adsorbent. The optimum values of the ...
Poly(2-aminoethyl methacrylate) based microgels catalyst system to be used in hydrolysis and methanolysis of NaBH4 for H2 generation
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
The poly(2-aminoethyl methacrylate) (p(AEM)) microgels were synthesized by microemulsion polymerization technique and used for in situ metal nanoparticle preparation to render as p(AEM)-M (M: Co or Ni) microgel composites ...
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 ...
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. ...
