Hybrid Nanosystems Based on Nicotinate-Functionalized Mesoporous Silica and Silver Chloride Nanoparticles Loaded with Phenytoin for Preventing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Development
(MDPI, 2022)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is one of the most common bacteria isolated from chronic wounds and burns. Its treatment is a challenge due to antimicrobial drug resistance and biofilm formation. In this context, this study ...
Transcription Factors in the Fungus Aspergillus nidulans: Markers of Genetic Innovation, Network Rewiring and Conflict between Genomics and Transcriptomics
(MDPI, 2021-07-25)
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are shaped by the democratic/hierarchical relationships among transcription factors (TFs) and associated proteins, together with the cis-regulatory sequences (CRSs) bound by these TFs at ...
Synthesis of mechanically strong waterborne poly(urethane-urea)s capable of self-healing at elevated temperatures
(Elsevier, 2019)
Although various chemistries have been introduced into polyurethanes in order to obtain self-healing abilities, implementing these materials in applications requiring high strength is challenging as strong materials imply ...
Bicolour fluorescent molecular sensor for cations: design and experimental validation
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-07-02)
Molecular entities whose fluorescence spectra are different when they bind metal cations are termed
bicolour fluorescent molecular sensors. The basic design criteria of this kind of compound are presented
and the different ...
A First Evaluation of the Usefulness of Kudzu Starch in Cultural Heritage Restoration
(Nature, 2020-09-24)
In recent times, the use of natural and harmless products for the environment and restorer is taking place in the field of Cultural Heritage restoration. In this sense, wheat, rice and corn starches as adhesives, have ...
A Green Synthesis of Nanocatalysts Based on Reduced Graphene Oxide/Magnetic Nanoparticles for the Degradation of Acid Red 1
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-10-26)
The increasing amount of organic dye-polluted wastewater from the textile industry makes the development of techniques for the efficient purification and reuse of wastewater an urgent issue. Accordingly, solid adsorbents ...
Toward enhanced catalytic activity of magnetic nanoparticles integrated into 3D reduced graphene oxide for heterogeneous Fenton organic dye degradation
(Nature Research, 2021-09-15)
Composite Fenton nanocatalyst was prepared by water-based in situ creation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles integrated within the self-assembly 3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) aerogel. The hybrid applied for the degradation of Acid ...
Mechanical and Morphological Properties of Waterborne ABA Hard-Soft-Hard Block Copolymers Synthesized by Means of RAFT Miniemulsion Polymerization
(MDPI, 2019-08)
High molecular weight waterborne ABA block copolymers of styrene (St) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA) containing hard and soft domains were synthesized by means of RAFT (mini)emulsion polymerization using a bifunctional ...
Design of Waterborne Asymmetric Block Copolymers as Thermoresponsive Materials
(MDPI, 2020-05-30)
AB diblock waterborne copolymers made of styrene (St) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA) were synthesized by means of two-step reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) (mini)emulsion polymerization. Monofunctional ...
Green Electrospinning of Polymer Latexes: A Systematic Study of the Effect of Latex Properties on Fiber Morphology
(MDPI, 2021-03-11)
Green electrospinning is a relatively new promising technology in which a polymer (latex) can be spun from an aqueous dispersion with the help of a template polymer. This method is a green, clean and safe technology that ...
