Simulating lattice gauge theories within quantum technologies
(Springer, 2020-08-04)
Lattice gauge theories, which originated from particle physics in the context of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), provide an important intellectual stimulus to further develop quantum information technologies. While one ...
Antibacterial Coatings for Improving the Performance of Biomaterials
(MDPI, 2020-02-04)
Biomedical devices have become essential in the health care. Every day, an enormous number of these devices are used or implanted in humans. In this context, the bacterial contamination that could be developed in implanted ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Covalently Crosslinked pH-Responsive Hyaluronic Acid Nanogels: Effect of Synthesis Parameters
(MDPI, 2019-04-24)
Stable hyaluronic acid nanogels were obtained following the water-in-oil microemulsion method by covalent crosslinking with three biocompatible crosslinking agents: Divinyl sulfone, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), ...
Immobilization of Polyoxometalates on Tailored Polymeric Surfaces
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Herein we describe the preparation of hybrid polymer-inorganic interfaces by the immobilization of polyoxometalate nanoclusters on functionalized polymer surfaces. The polymeric surfaces were made of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic ...
Characterization and Optimization of the Alkaline Hydrolysis of Polyacrylonitrile Membranes
(MDPI, 2019-11-08)
There is currently an increasing interest in the development of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based membranes with new and enhanced properties which are of special importance in the processes of pervaporation, purification, and ...
Poly(l-lactide)-Based Anti-Inflammatory Responsive Surfaces for Surgical Implants
(MDPI, 2020-12-24)
In the last few decades, surgical implants have been widely used to restore the function of damaged bones or joints. However, it is essential to receive antibiotic or anti-inflammatory treatment to circumvent significant ...
State of the art and current trends on layered inorganic-polymer nanocomposite coatings for anticorrosion and multi-functional applications
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
[EN] This review highlights the most important advances in the development and manufacture of advanced hybrid polymer-inorganic layered anticorrosion coatings for marine applications. These newly hybrid anticorrosion systems ...
Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Membranes for Photocatalytic Water Remediation
(MDPI, 2022-01-29)
Mismanagement, pollution and excessive use have depleted the world’s water resources, producing a shortage that in some territories is extreme. In this context, the need for potable water prompts the development of new and ...
Polysaccharide-Based In Situ Self-Healing Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering Applications
(MDPI, 2020-10-01)
In situ hydrogels have attracted increasing interest in recent years due to the need to develop effective and practical implantable platforms. Traditional hydrogels require surgical interventions to be implanted and are ...
Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles for Soil and Groundwater Remediation
(MDPI, 2020-08-11)
Zero-valent iron has been reported as a successful remediation agent for environmental issues, being extensively used in soil and groundwater remediation. The use of zero-valent nanoparticles have been arisen as a highly ...
