A comprehensive approach to in vitro functional evaluation of Ag/alginate nanocomposite hydrogels
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this work, we present a comprehensive approach to evaluation of alginate microbeads with included silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) at the concentration range of 0.3-5 mM for potential biomedical use by combining cytotoxicity, ...
Application of cellulose acetate for controlled release of thymol
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Cellulose acetate (CA) was investigated as a carrier towards development of material with controlled release of thymol as a natural substance with strong antibacterial properties using high pressure techniques. Effect of ...
Utilization of supercritical carbon dioxide for development of antibacterial surgical sutures
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
Outbreak of surgical infections and bacterial resistance against synthetic antibiotic has prompted research towards development of antibacterial medical devices. For that purpose, absorbable surgical sutures were impregnated ...
Broad Spectrum of Antimicrobial Activity of Cotton Fabric Modified with Oxalic Acid and CuO/Cu2O Nanoparticles
(Korean Fiber Soc, Seoul, 2019)
This study discusses the possibility of fabrication of textile nanocomposites with antimicrobial activity against antibiotics-resistant bacterial strains and yeast. Modification of cotton fabric with oxalic acid solutions ...
Achieving high antimicrobial activity: Composite alginate hydrogel beads releasing activated charcoal with an immobilized active agent
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
New composites based on Ca-alginate hydrogels were produced that release activated charcoal (AC) particles with adsorbed povidone iodine (PVP-I) as a model antimicrobial substance in a physiological-like environment. ...
The effect of graphene loading on mechanical, thermal and biological properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene nanocomposites
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2016)
Poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene (PVA/Gr) nanocomposite was synthesized with the aim of developing a novel improved material. The PVA/Gr nanocomposite was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, Raman ...
Cefazolin-loaded polycaprolactone fibers produced via different electrospinning methods: Characterization, drug release and antibacterial effect
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2018)
Antibiotic containing polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers were produced by using three electrospinning methods: blend, emulsion and co-axial electrospinning (labeled as S1, S2 and S3, respectively). The profiles of drug release ...
Novel nano-composite hydrogels with honey effective against multi-resistant clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Springer, New York, 2019)
Novel alginate hydrogels with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and honey components were produced with the aim to target multidrug-resistant bacterial strains causing nosocomial wound infections. AgNP synthesis was optimized ...
Antibacterial activity of thymol/carvacrol and clinoptilolite composites prepared by supercritical solvent impregnation
(Journal of Porous Materials, 2021)
Novel composites based on natural zeolite-clinoptilolite and monoterpene phenols-thymol and carvacrol were prepared by supercritical solvent impregnation (SSI) in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) at 30 MPa and 35 ...
Hydroxyapatite/poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan coating with gentamicin for orthopedic implants
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was employed to fabricate composite coatings aimed for orthopedic implants. Hydroxyapatite (HAP), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan (CS) coatings, with or without antibiotic gentamicin ...
