Phyto-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO-NPs) using Tinospora cordifolia (TC) leaf aqueous extract were investigated for their potential in adsorbing methylene blue dye (MB). TC-FeO-NPs (T. cordifolia-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles) were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, XRD, and FESEM-EDAX. An absorption peak at 228 nm confirmed the synthesis, while FT-IR identified functional groups. XRD analysis verified the crystalline nature with prominent hkl planes at (220), (311), (400), (422), and (440). FESEM revealed a mean surface volume diameter of 82.21 nm. Adsorption studies showed optimal conditions with 10 ppm dye, 1 mg of adsorbent, 60 min of contact time, and pH 7. Under these conditions, the nanoparticles achieved a maximum adsorption efficiency of 88 ± 2.42% and a qmax of 104.49 mg g, fitting the Langmuir isotherm model. Additionally, TC-FeO-NPs exhibited antioxidant activity with IC values of 77.56 ± 4.69 μg/mL and 28.67 ± 2.59 μg/mL in the DPPH and ABTS assays, respectively. The adsorbed dye was efficiently desorbed, enabling reusability for up to 5 cycles. Additionally, TC-FeO-NPs demonstrated antioxidant activity, reducing dye-induced toxicity in Allium cepa roots and non-pathogenic bacteria, contributing to healthier root growth and enhanced bacterial viability. These findings highlight TC-FeO-NPs as efficient, reusable adsorbents with potential environmental applications.

Bidirectional electron transfer biofilms (BETB) could efficiently reduce nitrate without accumulating nitrite, representing a promising biological electrochemical denitrification technology. This study utilized iron phthalocyanine modified carbon felt (FePc-CF) to enrich electroactive bacteria, constructing a long-term stable FePc-BETB. Its nitrate removal rate reached 91%, far exceeding the traditional nitrate-reducing biocathode (45%) and Con-BETB (46%).

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of various cleaning protocols on the bond strength of dual-cure resin cement following temporary cementation.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-two human third molars were sectioned to expose superficial dentin and divided into four groups: (1) fresh, noncontaminated dentin (control); (2) pumice cleaning; (3) pumice + sodium bicarbonate air polishing; and (4) pumice + 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) based cleaner. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were treated with noneugenol zinc oxide temporary cement, followed by their respective cleaning protocols.

The effectiveness of orally delivered probiotics in treating gastrointestinal diseases is restricted by inadequate gut retention. In this study, we present a magnetically controlled strategy for probiotic delivery, which enables controlled accumulation and residence of probiotics in the intestine. The magnetically controlled probiotic is established by attaching amino-modified iron oxide (FeO-NH NPs) to polydopamine-coated GG (LGG@P) through electrostatic self-assembly and named as LGG@P@FeO.

The use of natural organic extracts in nanoparticle synthesis can reduce environmental impacts and reagent costs. With that purpose in mind, a novel biosynthesis procedure for the formation of magnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) using extract in an aqueous medium has been systematically carried out. First, the biosynthesis was optimized for various extract concentrations, prepared by decoction and infusion methods, and yielded IONPs with sizes from 4 to 9 nm.

Studying the multiscale mechanics of bio-based composites offers unique perspectives on underlying structure-property relations. Cellular materials, such as wood, are highly organized, hierarchical assemblies of load-bearing structural elements that respond to mechanical stimuli at the microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic scale. In this study, we modified oak wood with nanocrystalline ferrihydrite, a widespread ferric oxyhydroxide mineral, and characterized the resulting mechanical properties of the composite at various levels of organization.
