The abundance of urea in the natural environment is dictated by fact that it one major products mammalian protein metabolism. Due to extensive use many branches industry, produced large quantities. Urea enters into not only with wastewater from production plants but also leaching fields, agro-breeding farms, and effluents using as a raw material. There are methods removal, most them still being developed or very new. themselves differ terms physicochemical nature technological ingenuity....

New conductive materials for tissue engineering are needed the development of regenerative strategies nervous, muscular, and heart tissues. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is used to obtain biocompatible biodegradable nanofiber scaffolds by electrospinning. MXenes, a large class 2D nanomaterials, can make polymer hydrophilic. However, an understanding how their physical properties affect potential biomedical applications still lacking. We immobilized Ti3C2Tx MXene in several layers on electrospun PCL...

In this work, a review of the literature concerning surface modification implants composed titanium and alloys by plasma electrochemical oxidation (PEO), also known as micro-arc (MAO), is presented. The application process allows for formation oxide layers with different porosities on implants. Moreover, it possible to enrich these species contained in solutions used anodising, yielding suitable chemical properties. Anodising containing compounds calcium phosphorous leads bioactive...

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a method for eradicating tumor tissues through the use of photothermal materials and photosensitizing agents that absorb light energy from laser sources convert it into heat, which selectively targets destroys cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. MXenes have been intensively investigated as PTT. However, achieving selectivity to remains challenge. Specific antibodies (Ab) against antigens can achieve homing toward cells, but their immobilization on MXene...

Biodegradable materials, especially Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys, are preferred for bone implants due to their compatibility with host tissue biomechanical support. However, rapid corrosion vulnerability structural failure, compounded by infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria, pose significant challenges. Addressing these issues, we developed silicate-based composite coatings varying CuO concentrations (1, 5, 7 wt%) on Mg using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). This study...

Herein, a study of the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) niobium in an anodising bath composed potassium silicate (K2SiO3) and hydroxide (KOH) is reported. The effects K2SiO3 concentration process voltage on characteristics obtained oxide layers were assessed. Compact, barrier-type when did not exceed breakdown potential layer. When this threshold was breached, morphology layer changed markedly, which typical PEO. A significant amount silicon, form amorphous silica, incorporated into...

Urea is present in the environment as a result of large amounts wastewater from various origins. One most effective methods for disposing urea involves electrochemical oxidation. This study investigated use sintered Ni–Pt electrodes anodes electrocatalytic oxidation urea. The activity was compared with those conventional Ti/Pt and Ni electrodes. Based on our results, exhibited much higher anodes.
