Ag/Ga were incorporated into resorbable orthopaedic phosphate bioactive glasses (PBG, containing P, Ca, Mg, Na, and Fe) thin films to demonstrate their potential limit growth of Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli in post-operative prosthetic implantation. Dual target consecutive co-sputtering was uniquely employed produce a 46 nm Ag:PBG composite observed by high resolution TEM consist uniformly dispersed ~5 metallic Ag nano-particles glass matrix. Ga3+ integrated preform which magnetron...
Novel biomaterials with promising bone regeneration potential, derived from rich, renewable, and cheap sources, are reported. Thus, thin films were synthesized marine-derived (i.e., fish bones seashells) hydroxyapatite (MdHA) by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. Besides the physical-chemical mechanical investigations, deposited also evaluated in vitro using dedicated cytocompatibility antimicrobial assays. The morphological examination of MdHA revealed fabrication rough surfaces,...
We report a study on the biocompatibility vs. thickness in case of titanium nitride (TiN) films synthesized 410 medical grade stainless steel substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The were grown nitrogen atmosphere, and their vitro cytotoxicity was assessed according to ISO 10993-5 [1]. Extensive physical-chemical analyses have been carried out deposited structures with various thicknesses order explain differences biological behavior: profilometry, scanning electron microscopy, atomic...
Our study focused on the long-term degradation under simulated conditions of coatings based different compositions polycaprolactone-polyethylene glycol blends (PCL-blend-PEG), fabricated for titanium implants by a dip-coating technique. The behavior polymeric was evaluated polymer mass loss measurements PCL-blend-PEG during immersion in SBF up to 16 weeks and correlated with those yielded from electrochemical experiments. results are thoroughly supported extensive compositional surface...
Abstract This study aimed to exploit two invasive plant species develop a novel, multifunctional, bioactive wound dressing based on microporous cellulosic sponge (CS) from Gleditsia triacanthos pods and functionalizing them with Phytolacca americana fruit extract. The CS was functionalized, lyophilized, characterized by Attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, contact angle, water absorption, retention capacity. In...
Cotton/polyester woven fabrics were functionalized with ZnO thin films or nanoparticles by pulsed laser deposition, using a KrF* excimer source. Depending on the number of applied pulses, well-separated (for 10 pulses) compact 100 deposited. The synthesized nanostructures evaluated morphologically scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, physico-chemically x-ray diffraction functionally contact angle method. By modifying ambient gas nature pressure in deposition chamber,...
Silica-based bioactive glasses (SBG) hold great promise as bio-functional coatings of metallic endo-osseous implants, due to their osteoproductive potential, and, in the case designed formulations, suitable mechanical properties and antibacterial efficacy. In framework this study, FastOs®BG alkali-free SBG system (mol%: SiO2—38.49, CaO—36.07, P2O5—5.61, MgO—19.24, CaF2—0.59), with CuO (2 mol%) Ga2O3 (3 antimicrobial agents, partially substituting parent CaO MgO, respectively, was used source...
Green nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field linked to using the principles of green chemistry design novel nanomaterials with great potential in environmental and health protection. In this work, metal semiconducting particles (AuNPs, AgClNPs, ZnO, AuZnO, AgClZnO, AuAgClZnO) were phytosynthesized through "green" bottom-up approach, burdock (Arctium lappa L.) aqueous extract. The morphological (SEM/TEM), structural (XRD, SAED), compositional (EDS), optical (UV-Vis absorption FTIR...
ZnO structures were deposited using a simple chemical bath deposition technique onto interdigitated electrodes fabricated by conventional photolithography method on SiO2/Si substrates. The X-ray diffraction studies show that the samples have hexagonal wurtzite crystalline structure. scanning electron microscopy observations prove substrates are uniformly covered networks formed monodisperse rods. rod average diameter and length tuned controlling reactants' concentration reaction time....
In this work, ZnO-CdS composite powders synthesized by a simple chemical precipitation method were thoroughly characterized. The morphological, structural, compositional, photocatalytical, and biological properties of the prepared composites investigated in comparison with those pristine components correlated CdS concentration. contain flower-like structures, their size being tuned amount added during synthesis. photocatalytic activity was analyzed under UV irradiation using impregnated...
