Hemostatic Antimicrobial Hydrogels Based on Silicon, Iron, Zinc, and Boron Glycerolates for Wound Healing Applications.

The use of glycerolates of biogenic elements as biocompatible precursors in sol-gel synthesis is an innovative direction and opens up new scientific and practical prospects in chemistry and technology of producing practically important biomedical materials, including hemostatic, antimicrobial, and wound healing materials. Using biocompatible precursors, silicon, zinc, boron, and iron glycerolates, new bioactive nanocomposite hydrogels were obtained by the sol-gel method. The composition and structural features of the hydrogels were studied using a complex of modern analytical techniques, including TEM, XRD, AES, and ESI MS.

Iron(III) Monoglycerolate as a New Biocompatible Precursor in the Synthesis of Bioactive Nanocomposite Glycerohydrogels.

Background: Nanocomposite glycerohydrogels based on biocompatible elementcontaining glycerolates are of practicular interest for biomedical applications.

Objective: Using two biocompatible precursors, silicon and iron glycerolates, a new bioactive nanocomposite silicon‒iron glycerolates hydrogel was obtained by sol-gel method.

Methods: The composition and structural features of the hydrogel were studied using a complex of modern analytical techniques, including TEM, XRD, and AES.

Magnetic Nanocomposite Materials Based on FeO Nanoparticles with Iron and Silica Glycerolates Shell: Synthesis and Characterization.

Novel magnetic nanocomposite materials based on FeO nanoparticles coated with iron and silica glycerolates (MNP@Fe(III)Glyc and MNP@Fe(III)/SiGlyc) were obtained. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized using TEM, XRD, TGA, VMS, Mössbauer and IR spectroscopy. The amount of iron and silica glycerolates in the nanocomposites was calculated from the Mössbauer spectroscopy, ICP AES and C,H-elemental analysis.

Biocompatible Silica-Polyethylene Glycol-Based Composites for Immobilization of Microbial Cells by Sol-Gel Synthesis.

Biocatalysts based on the methylotrophic yeast VKM Y-2559 immobilized in polymer-based nanocomposites for the treatment of methanol-containing wastewater were developed. The organosilica composites with different matrix-to-filler ratios derived from TEOS/MTES in the presence of PEG (SP-composite) and from silicon-polyethylene glycol (STP-composite) differ in the structure of the silicate phase and its distribution in the composite matrix. Methods of fluorescent and scanning microscopy first confirmed the formation of an organosilica shell around living yeast cells during sol-gel bio-STP-composite synthesis.

Individual iron(iii) glycerolate: synthesis and characterisation.

Iron(ii) and iron(iii) salts of strong acids form iron glycerolates on heating at 180 °C with glycerol in the presence of an equivalent amount of alkali. Individual iron(iii) glycerolate was obtained for the first time. When FeO magnetic nanoparticles were heated with glycerol, an iron(iii) glycerolate shell was formed on their surface.
