- - The MgSi/RGO nanocomposite demonstrates superior mechanical stability and adsorption capacity for methylene blue (433 mg/g) and lead ions (416 mg/g) compared to its individual components, thanks to a beneficial synergistic effect.
Article Abstract
A sandwichlike magnesium silicate/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite (MgSi/RGO) with high adsorption efficiency of organic dye and lead ion was synthesized by a hydrothermal approach. MgSi nanopetals were formed in situ on both sides of RGO sheets. The nanocomposite with good dispersion of nanopetals exhibits a high specific surface area of 450 m(2)/g and a good mass transportation property. Compared to MgSi and RGO, the mechanical stability and adsorption capacity of the nanocomposite is significantly improved due to the synergistic effect. The maximum adsorption capacities for methylene blue and lead ion are 433 and 416 mg/g, respectively.

Conventional macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B-ketolide (MLSK) antibiotics are unable to counter the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance that is conferred by the constitutive methylation of rRNA base A2058 or its G2058 mutation, while the presence of unmodified A2058 is crucial for high selectivity of traditional MLSK in targeting pathogens over human cells. The absence of effective modes of action reinforces the prevailing belief that constitutively antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus remains impervious to existing macrolides including telithromycin. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a novel series of macrolides, featuring the strategic fusion of ketolide and quinolone moieties.

Addressing complex tissue infections remains a challenging task because of the lack of effective means, and the limitations of traditional bioantimicrobial materials in single-application scenarios hinder their utility for complex infection sites. Hence, the development of a bioantimicrobial material with broad applicability and potent bactericidal activity is necessary to treat such infections. In this study, a layered lithium magnesium silicate nanoclay (LMS) is used to construct a nanobactericidal platform.

Novel sandwich-like porous carbon nanosheet-supported hexagonal carbon micro-flakes (WPWMC) are fabricated a one-step hydrothermal route at 700 °C with polyethylene as the precursor and magnesium as the inducer. Through various characterizations, it is confirmed that the hexagonal carbon micro-flakes exhibit (002) orientation, which exposes abundant edge active sites and shortens the K transmission path. Moreover, the inside cross-linked carbon nanosheets with abundant pores can accelerate ion diffusion and increase the capacitive contribution.

A new three-layered film was fabricated on magnesium (Mg) alloy via electroplating to guard against corrosion in a chloride aqueous environment, which consisted of an underlying double-layered zinc/copper (Zn/Cu) and a top aluminum-zirconium (Al-Zr) layer. The Zn/Cu underlayers not only impeded the galvanic corrosion between the Al-Zr coating and Mg alloy but also improved the adhesive ability between the substrate and the upper Al-Zr layer. Herein, we discussed the nucleus sizes of Al-Zr coatings at the stage of nucleation carried out with different contents of ZrCl in AlCl-1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid.

Absorbable magnesium stents have become alternatives for treating restenosis owing to their better mechanical properties than those of bioabsorbable polymer stents. However, without modification, magnesium alloys cannot provide the proper degradation rate required to match the vascular reform speed. Gallic acid is a phenolic acid with attractive biological functions, including anti-inflammation, promotion of endothelial cell proliferation, and inhibition of smooth muscle cell growth.
