This study is aimed at the synthesis of antimicrobial hydroxyapatite (HAP)‐based composites for dental application by stereolithography (SLA). A micron‐sized commercial HAP was modified methacrylate and quaternary ammonium salt, and, then, it used in different amounts (namely 2.5, 5, 10 wt%) as filler a photocurable custom made resin SLA. Thermal stability, microstructure, particles size pristine (HAP) (mHAP) were evaluated thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), particle...
Abstract Research on the nanomaterials containing one or more transition metals is growing tremendously, thanks to large number of preparation processes available and novel applications that can be envisaged in several fields. This review presents an overview selected studies field antimicrobial textiles, employing bioactive nanophases elements/compounds such as silver, copper, zinc oxide. In addition, history use these antimicrobials their mechanism action are shortly reported. Finally, a...
The huge concerns associated with biofilm-related infections in surgical procedures, along the antibiotic resistance demonstrated by an increasing number of bacteria, have highlighted need for alternative and effective prevention approaches. aim this research was to develop novel antimicrobial coatings on sutures site through nanotechnology-based methods. results that although very low amounts silver precursor were adopted treatments, coating against Staphylococcus aureus...
Abstract The use of fabrics with antibacterial properties for commodity applications can provide numerous advantages such as a reduction in the release odors due to bacterial proliferation sweat and development skin hypersensitivity reactions microorganisms trapped into fabrics. Silver is one most effective agents used high degree biocompatibility its long‐term effectiveness against many different strains. In this study, an innovative technique deposition nanosilver coating on woolen fiber...
Multidrug-resistant organisms are increasingly implicated in acute and chronic wound infections, thus compromising the chance of therapeutic options. The resistance to conventional antibiotics demonstrated by some bacterial strains has encouraged new approaches for prevention infections wounds burns, among them use silver compounds nanocrystalline silver. Recently, dressings have become widely accepted healing centers commercially available. In this work, novel antibacterial been developed...
ABSTRACT The antimicrobial activity of silver against a wide spectrum bacteria, fungi and viruses is known since antiquity. Silver has been used as topical agent in the treatment wounds many years advanced silver‐based dressings have designed so far. aim this study was development low‐cost antibacterial antifungal through surface modification conventional cotton gauzes. Different percentages were deposited on textile substrates by adopting an innovative deposition technique based...

Skin injuries represent a health problem with consequences in terms of morbidity, disability and life quality. Numerous strategies have been developed for the treatment wounds, including skin substitutes, biomembranes, scaffolds, smart dressings. The excellent properties fibroin can be exploited development advanced wound dressing biomaterials, aiming at promoting healing process. In this work, silk films modified through addition glucose were to enhance flexibility medical device without...
The development of antibacterial coatings is great interest from both industry and the consumer's point view. In this study, we characterized tanned leather polyurethane leatherette, typically employed in automotive footwear industries, which were modified by photo-deposition silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Material surface chemical composition was investigated detail X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). material's capability checked against
Silver nanophases are routinely used as bioactive additives in commercial products. Besides their antimicrobial activity, nanosafety issues regarding the application of (silver-based) nanoantimicrobials should be considered, well. In this study, we modified polyurethane foams, typically employed air filtration and stuffing, by photodeposited silver nanoparticles for preparing hybrid materials (Ag-PU) with antibacterial properties. The composite were characterized terms morphology, surface...
