Characterization data of cellulose modified by gamma irradiation to be used as template in the synthesis of a photoactive composite for environmental applications.

The following data provide evidence of the green functionalization process of a cellulose substrate by gamma radiation to be used as template in the preparation of photocatalyst composites. Functionalized cellulose, by gamma radiation treatment, improved its stability in water and exhibited a reduced size. Our data showed an intensification of carbonyl groups signal and a decrease in the thermal stability of the cellulose as result of the gamma radiation dose.

Photolysis of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug sulindac: elucidation of kinetic behaviour and photodegradation pathways in water.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are recognized widely as emerging contaminants. Sulindac has received additional attention as a prodrug in cancer treatment and because of its detection in drinking water and wastewaters. Nevertheless, there is limited knowledge about its kinetic behaviour and fate in the aquatic environment.

Polysaccharide κ-Carrageenan as Doping Agent in Conductive Coatings for Electrochemical Controlled Release of Dexamethasone at Therapeutic Doses.

Smart conductive materials are developed in regenerative medicine to promote a controlled release profile of charged bioactive agents in the vicinity of implants. The incorporation and the active electrochemical release of the charged compounds into the organic conductive coating is achieved due to its intrinsic electrical properties. The anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone was added during the polymerization, and its subsequent release at therapeutic doses was reached by electrical stimulation.
