There are requirements for surfaces with antibacterial properties in various technological fields. U-PEO hybrids with antibacterial properties were synthesized by the sol-gel process, incorporating combinations of cerium ...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are well known potent antimicrobial agents. Similarly, the free radical nitric oxide (NO) has important antibacterial activity, and due to its instability, the combination of NO and nanomaterials ...

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of hexametaphosphate microparticles (mHMP) or nanoparticles (nHMP) incorporated in glass ionomer cement (GIC) on antimicrobial and physico-mechanical properties, fluoride (F) release, ...

This review outlines the antibacterial activity of metal nanostructures, including proposed mechanisms and possible adaptative mechanisms to counteract their toxicity against bacteria. For purpose of this review, metal ...

The aim of this work is to evaluate the antibacterial effect and biocompatibility of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanopaticles and graphite-type carbon (Gt) microparticles commercial powders. SEM analysis was performed to assess ...

In this study, silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) was successfully prepared through a simple precipitation method, and its structural, optical, and morphological properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Rietveld refinement, ...

To prevent the high frequency of wound infections, anti-bacterial agents can be loaded onto composites. In the present study, the antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride (TC)was incorporated, for the first time, in collagen ...
