Povidone-iodine functionalized nanofibers are prophylactic and protect against dissemination of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The novel personal protection equipment based on a face mask equipped with a nanofiber filter functionalized with povidone iodine has been developed and tested in a clinical trial. This nanofiber filter was characterized with a low flow resistance and, thus, allowed comfortable breathing. The performed study proved that the novel nanofiber filter with incorporated povidone-iodine was characterized with a slow release of iodine which minimized side effects but kept disinfection efficiency.

Electrospun Nanofibers Encapsulated with Natural Products: A Novel Strategy to Counteract Skin Aging.

The skin is the primary tissue affected by wounds and aging, significantly impacting its protective function. Natural products are widely used in cosmetics, representing a new approach to preventing age-related damage. Nanomedicine combines nanotechnology and traditional treatments to create innovative drugs.

Hydrolat of Helichrysum italicum promotes tissue regeneration during wound healing.

Wound healing is a dynamic process involving different cell types with distinct roles according to the stages of healing. Fibroblasts and stem cells actively participate in tissue regeneration. A proper stimulation could contribute to enhance wound healing process-es.

The Multifunctionality of Lanthanum-Strontium Cobaltite Nanopowder: High-Pressure Magnetic Studies and Excellent Electrocatalytic Properties for OER.

Simultaneous study of magnetic and electrocatalytic properties of cobaltites under extreme conditions expands the understanding of physical and chemical processes proceeding in them with the possibility of their further practical application. Therefore, LaSrCoO (LSCO) nanopowders were synthesized at different annealing temperatures = 850-900 °C, and their multifunctional properties were studied comprehensively. As increases, the rhombohedral perovskite structure of the LSCO becomes more single-phase, whereas the average particle size and dispersion grow.
