Poly(vinyl alcohol)-tannic Acid Cryogel Matrix as Antioxidant and Antibacterial Material
(MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute), 2022)
The biocompatible, viscoelastic properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in combination
with the antimicrobial and antioxidant natural polyphenolic, tannic acid (TA), and the natural
flavonoid and antioxidant curcumin ...
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 ...
Rod-like L-Aspartic acid-Cu(II) metal organic frameworks; Synthesis, characterization and biomedical properties
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
L-aspartic acid (L-AA) based MOFs were prepared from acetate, chloride, nitrate, and sulfate salts of Cu(II) ions as
L-AA-Cu(II)-A,-C,-N,-S, respectively with 96.7 2.4, 89.8 3.1, 92.1 1.5, 74.6 5.2 m2/g, surface ...
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 ...
Self-Crosslinked Ellipsoidal Poly(Tannic Acid) Particles for Bio-Medical Applications
(MDPI AG, 2021)
Self-crosslinking of Tannic acid (TA) was accomplished to obtain poly(tannic acid) (p(TA)) particles in single step, surfactant free media using sodium periodate (NaIO4 ) as an oxidizing agent. Almost monodisperse p(TA) ...
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 ...
