Abstract The increased antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria requires intense research new wound healing agents. Novel dressings should be designed to provide disinfection, good moisture, and fast epithelization. In this study, bacterial cellulose (BC) was impregnated with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) for potential use in treatment. BC successfully loaded approximately 11.7 wt% GQDs. actual release GQDs from composite hydrogels were 13%. GQDs‐BC hydrogel composites are biocompatible...

Benzendicarboxylic acid (BDC)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely utilized in various applications, including supercapacitor electrode materials. Manganese and copper solid diamond frames formed with BDC linkers among transition metals chosen for MOF formation. They shown the possibility to enlarge capacitance at different combinations of MOFs polyaniline (PANI). Herein, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was used as matrix fabricate electrochemical double-layer SCs. PANI...

Diagnosis of oncological diseases remains at the forefront current medical research. Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a cell surface hypoxia-inducible enzyme functionally involved in adaptation to acidosis that expressed aggressive tumors; hence, it can be used as tumor biomarker. Herein, we propose nanoscale graphene oxide (GO) platform functionalized with magnetic nanoparticles and monoclonal antibody specific CA marker. The GO platforms were prepared by modified Hummers Offeman method...

Therapy of bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) and catheter associated (CAUTIs) is still a great challenge because the resistance bacteria to nowadays used antibiotics encrustation catheters. Bacterial cellulose (BC) as biocompatible material with high porosity allows incorporation different materials in its three dimensional network structure. In this work low molecular weight chitosan (Chi) polymer incorporated BC concentrations. Different characterization techniques are investigate...

We report on an ultrafast plasma-based graphene oxide reduction method superior to conventional vacuum thermal annealing and/or chemical reduction. The is based the effect of non-equilibrium atmospheric-pressure plasma generated by diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge in proximity layer. As time order seconds, presented applicable large-scale production reduced layers. short times are achieved high-volume power density plasma, which 100 W cm-3. Monolayers silicon substrate were...

Abstract Due to their unique structural properties bacterial cellulose (BC) hydrogels find possible usage in many fields such as cosmetology, food industry, or medicine. In this study, photoactive BC are investigated through modifications of structural, mechanical, and pro‐oxidant resulting from graphene quantum dots (GQDs) encapsulation. Detailed analysis is conducted by atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy scanning X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform...
