Article Synopsis
- The study explores the antibacterial effects of tantalum-copper (Ta-Cu) coatings on titanium alloys to combat infections from orthopedic and dental implants.
- The coatings were created with different copper percentages and subjected to various thermal treatments, with the TaCu-2 sample (∼10 wt% copper, annealed at 600 °C) showing the best antibacterial performance.
- Optimizing the copper content and annealing temperature was found to be crucial in improving the antibacterial properties of these coatings, suggesting their potential for reducing implant-related infections.
Article Synopsis
- The evaluation of selectivity and cross-sensitivity is crucial for developing chemiresistive gas sensors, which often struggle with detecting multiple gases simultaneously.
- There is a pressing need for testing methods that mimic real-world conditions, considering that gas sensors are usually exposed to mixtures of gases rather than pure analytes.
- This review highlights four main methods for assessing selectivity, discusses the related processes and interactions of gases, and emphasizes the necessity for standardized testing protocols in the field.
The hydrogen (H) energy industry has continued to expand in recent years due to the decarbonization of the global energy system and the drive towards sustainable development. Due to hydrogen's high flammability and significant safety risks, the efficient detection of hydrogen has become an increasingly hot issue today. In this work, a new type of relatively fast and responsive conducting polymer sensor has been demonstrated for tracing H gas in a nitrogen environment.

Changes in the crystallinity, morphology, optical properties, and chemical composition of the CZO thin films were investigated at various sputtering powers of 45, 60, and 75 W. All samples presented a hexagonal wurtzite-type structure with a preferential -axis at the (002) plane, along with a distinct change in the strain values through X-ray diffraction patterns.

Additionally, bacterial cellulose (BC) exhibits remarkable qualities, including mechanical strength, water absorption, porosity, and biodegradability. The central hypothesis posits that the incorporation of both MXene and bacterial cellulose into the material will result in a remarkable synthesis of the attributes inherent to MXene and BC.
