Abstract Infections cause significant complications in surgical cases involving fractures and implants. Biomaterials, particularly bioactive glass, are known for their biocompatibility tissue regeneration potential. The integration of bactericidal properties with glasses could prove pivotal preventing infections during bone wound regeneration. LZS (Li 2 O–ZrO –Si O) glass system, recognized its potential via scaffolds, is a candidate further exploration antimicrobial capabilities. This study...
Abstract Six clays from various deposits were studied for their use in the production of structural clay products. The characterized using chemical (X-ray fluorescence), mineralogical diffraction) and thermal (differential scanning calorimetry/thermogravimetry) analyses. Particle-size distribution was determined by laser diffraction, plasticity Pfefferkorn method residue sieve-size method. Next, specimens formed extrusion linear shrinkage (on drying firing), water absorption, bulk density,...
This work evaluated the water absorption of glazed porcelain stoneware ceramic tiles using three different methods. Two methods were based on a procedure boiling in water, specified by standards ISO 10545 and ASTM C373, third was vacuum method proposed standard 10545. The products produced under firing conditions tested according to 22 factorial design, with intervening factors time immersion for involving boiling, pressure method. maximum saturation plates helium gas pycnometry testing....
Developing environmentally friendly alternative strategies to reduce the damage caused by fungi in agriculture has been widely investigated. In this study, we evaluated using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) incorporated with zinc oxide (MSNs-ZnO) as a potential antifungal agent against Fusarium graminearum and Aspergillus flavus strains, well their antimycotoxin properties. The MSNs that synthesized characterized could release abundant ZnO first 24 h. Subsequently, became slower,...
This study aimed to conduct an ozone application within a triage area that receives patients with suspected cases of COVID-19. The was carried out for 10 min disinfect the air and surfaces different rooms area. A 3D model spread in doctor's office developed. Higher counts bacteria (3.3 × 102 CFU · m−3) fungi (1.3 103 before treatment were observed administrative room, which experienced greater circulation by healthcare workers. In this highly effective reducing bacterial (95%; P < .0003)...
