Bimetallic alginate nanocomposites: New antimicrobial biomaterials for biomedical application
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
Two bimetallic (Zn/Cu) alginate based nanocomposites, impregnated with carbonate or phosphate mineral phase, were prepared by a facile procedure. Mineralized samples exhibited different morphologies and properties when ...
The influence of different extraction conditions on polyphenol content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of wild thyme
(Journal of Applied Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, 2021)
The aims of the presented study were the investigation of the effect of different ultrasound-assisted extraction conditions (particle size, solid-to-solvent ratio, ethanol concentration and time) on polyphenol and flavonoid ...
In situ synthesis of Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles on the TEMPO oxidized cotton fabrics
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
In situ synthesis of Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles on the cotton fabric discussed in this study relies on adsorption of Cu2+-ions by carboxylate groups generated through the TEMPO-mediated oxidation of cellulose and their subsequent ...
Antimicrobial P(HEMA/IA)/PVP semi-interpenetrating network hydrogels
(Springer, New York, 2013)
New semi-interpenetrating networks (semi-IPNHs) (P(HEMA/IA)/PVP) were prepared by free radical crosslinking copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and itaconic acid (IA, 5 mol%), in the presence of poly(vinyl ...
Development of material with strong antimicrobial activity by high pressure CO2 impregnation of polyamide nanofibers with thymol
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
This study discusses the potential of high pressure (supercritical and liquid) CO2 impregnation to load electrospun polyamide nanofibers with thymol as an antimicrobial agent. The influence of selected pressures and ...
Graphene-based antibacterial composite coatings electrodeposited on titanium for biomedical applications
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
The graphene based silver/hydroxyapatite/graphene (Ag/HAP/Gr) composite coatings were produced by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on titanium to assemble porous bioactive homogenous coatings, with improved corrosion ...
Antibacterial ability of immobilized silver nanoparticles in agar-agar films co-doped with magnesium ions
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The antibacterial ability of in situ prepared nanometer-sized silver particles, immobilized in agar-agar films, was studied as a function of the concentration of co-dopant, magnesium ions. Content of inorganic components ...
Tailoring the physico-chemical and antimicrobial properties of agar-based films by in situ formation of Cu-mineral phase
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
New agar-based composite films with increasing Cu-carbonate and Cu-phosphate mineral phase content were prepared by in situ mineralization and solvent casting method. SEM and optical analysis revealed that Cu-carbonate ...
Antimicrobial Activity of Thiocarbohydrazones: Experimental Studies and Alignment-Independent 3D QSAR Models
(Wiley-VCH Verlag Gmbh, Weinheim, 2018)
Due to the rise of microbial strains resistant to conventional therapies, there is an urgent need for finding the new antimicrobial chemotypes. Heterocyclic compounds such as thiocarbohydrazones (TCHs) are able to interact ...
Synthesis and antimicrobial properties of Zn-mineralized alginate nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
New bioactive and antimicrobial biomaterials were produced by alginate-mediated biomineralization with Zn-mineral phase. The synthesis procedure is simple, cost-effective and resulted in. two different Zn-mineralized ...
