Microparticles Loaded with A. Gray Fruit Extract with Anti-Inflammatory and Antimicrobial Activity.

: (B) A. Gray, a plant native to northwest Mexico, has long been utilized in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory effects. Previous studies have highlighted the bioactivity of fruit extract.

Exploring the potential of hydrolytic enzymes combined with antibacterial agents to disrupt pathogenic biofilms and disinfect released cells.

Biofilms are bacterial communities encapsulated in a self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix comprising carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and DNA. This matrix provides structural integrity while significantly enhancing bacterial antibiotic resistance, presenting substantial disinfection challenges. The persistence of biofilm-associated infections and foodborne outbreaks underscores the need for more effective disinfection strategies.

Comparative study between UVB 313 nm, UVC 254 nm, and far UVC 222 nm light on the aging of polyamide 66.

Polyamide-66 underwent substantial growth worldwide in the late 1930's. It can be found in several public spaces. After 2019, due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the sanitization of the interior of aircraft and public spaces by using UV light became important.

Magnetic Nanoparticles with On-Site Azide and Alkyne Functionalized Polymer Coating in a Single Step through a Solvothermal Process.

: Magnetic FeO nanoparticles (MNPs) are becoming more important every day. We prepared MNPs in a simple one-step reaction by following the solvothermal method, assisted by azide and alkyne functionalized polyethylene glycol (PEG400) polymers, as well as by PEG6000 and the polyol β-cyclodextrin (βCD), which played a crucial role as electrostatic stabilizers, providing polymeric/polyol coatings around the magnetic cores. : The composition, morphology, and magnetic properties of the nanospheres were analyzed using Transmission Electron and Atomic Force Microscopies (TEM, AFM), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), X-ray Diffraction Diffractometry (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM).
