A facile method to prepare surface self-concentration antibacterial coating with contact-killing mechanism was developed. Photo curable quaternary ammonium compound QAC bearing a 16-carbon alkyl chain and a terminal methacrylate was synthesized as reactive antibacterial additive. After UV irradiation, QAC was crosslinked in the soy-based coating matrix. With proper amounts of QAC, the UV cured coatings exhibited good properties such as high glossiness, good hardness and fine adhesion to cherrywood substrates. The self-concentration property of QAC on the cured coating surface, which is beneficial to reserve the physical properties of the bulk materials and to improve the surface antibacterial activity, was confirmed by fluorescence and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Moreover, the introduction of QAC provided the coatings with superhydrophilicity property as well as good anti-fog capacity. The coatings with 8 wt% of QAC (charge density = 8.6 mol cm−2) exhibited almost 100% antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli by 5 log reduction. The contact-killing mechanism of coatings was confirmed via the zone of inhibition tests. The straightforward preparation combined with excellent antibacterial property makes the QAC containing coatings quite promising in antibacterial coatings realm and is suitable for industrial-scale manufacturing.

Hydrogel-based wound dressings are ideal materials as they could provide a moist environment to promote wound healing. Silk sericin is a natural macromolecular protein produced by silkworms and has positive effects on fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Sodium alginate is a natural polysaccharide known as a mouldable matrix. To develop novel hydrogel wound dressings, sodium alginate was functionalized with silk sericin to yield an injectable and mouldable semi-interpenetrating network hydrogel (SA/Se) using calcium ions as the crosslinking agents. Meanwhile, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized in situ by the phenolic hydroxyl group of tyrosine in sericin to enhance the antibacterial activity of the hybrid hydrogel. UV–visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy demonstrated the successful synthesis of AgNPs with average size of 15.7 nm in SA/Se-Ag0.2. Field emission scanning electron microscopy showed the macroporous structure of the hydrogel. The hybrid hydrogel had a swelling ratio of 32 and more than 5% of retention ratio after 50 h. It exhibited effective antibacterial activity through irreversibly disrupting bacterial membrane structure to result in bacterial lysis and death. Cell counting kit-8 assay suggested the hybrid hydrogel was highly cytocompatible. The animal experiment showed the wound contraction ratio in SA/Se-Ag0.2 group was 99% after 12 days, indicating it can effectively promote wound healing. This novel hydrogel is promising for wound healing and tissue engineering.

The white pollution caused by non-degradable plastics poses a serious threat to human society and the environment, thus developing biodegradable material is urgent. In this work, a novel phosphonitrile hybrid metal-polyphenol network was constructed and used for the preparation of flame retardant , UV resistant and antibacterial multifunctional polyvinyl alcohol composite (PVA@HCPD-Ag). The limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of PVA@HCPD-Ag was improved to 33.5%, while the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) decreased by 35.62% and 47.76%. Besides, the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) value of PVA@HCPD-Ag was significantly improved from 4.63 of the original PVA to 482.79, while the tensile strength was increased by 10.23%. Furthermore, the inhibition efficacy of PVA@HCPD-Ag for E. coli and S. aureus was up to 98.12% and 99.99%. This work explored the synergistic flame retardant effect of in-situ reduced Ag 0 and phosphonitrile crosslinked polyphenol network and proposed an advanced strategy for developing high value-added functionalized PVA materials.

In this study, hydrogels generated by the Schiff base reaction between citral and chitosan (CS) were used for the first time to improve the anti-bacterial property of forward osmosis (FO) membranes. The composite membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Water contact angle (WCA), Zeta potential and confocal laser scanning microscopic (CLSM). In the FO filtration experiment, the membrane performance of TFC-1 with 1 M sodium chloride solution as the draw solution and deionized water as the feed solution was the best, with the water flux of 25.54 ± 0.7 L m −2 h −1 and the reverse salt flux of 4.7 ± 0.4 g m −2 h −1 . Although the hydrogel coating produced a certain hydraulic resistance, the flux of the modified membrane was only reduced by about 8%, compared with the unmodified membrane. However, the anti-bacterial property ( Pseudomonas aeruginosa ) and anti-fouling properties (bovine serum protein and lysozyme protein) of the modified membranes were improved, showing good antibacterial properties (99%) and flux recovery rate (over 90%). The modified method has the advantages of easy access to raw materials, simple operation and no risk of secondary pollution, which can effectively reduce the cost of chemical cleaning and extend the service life of the membrane. The modification of membrane by chitosan-based hydrogel is a promising option in the field of membrane anti-bacteria.

Polymer-based composites are used for wound healing applications. This work aims to prepare an inorganic-polymer nanocomposite based on bentonite, poly(vinyl alcohol), and bacterial cellulose by electrospinning for wound healing. The nanocomposite is synthesized using a solution intercalation technique, with 1–2 wt% nanobentonite concentration variation. The effects of commercial and laboratory-synthesized nanobentonite as well as the extract of the green walnut shell (EGWS) are examined and characterized by different techniques. The addition of nanobentonite increases the average size of fibers and tensile strength up to 200 nm and more than 15 MPa, respectively, due to the presence of hydrogen bonding formed between the nanobentonite sheets and polymer matrix. By the addition of synthetic nanoclay and EGWS, moderate elongation and strength are achieved. The hydrophilicity shows a decreasing trend up to 2 wt% of commercial nanobentonite; however, the laboratory-synthesized nanobentonite is not significantly effective. Effects of extracts on the viability of cultured human adipose tissue–derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are quantitated, where the samples containing 1–2 wt% of commercial nanobentonite have less toxicity than others. Antibacterial activity is tested against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria according to the agar diffusion test for 72 h, in which EGWS-based mats exhibit strong antimicrobial activity.

The composite after referred to as P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) was prepared via free radical polymerization by polymer including quaternary ammonium salt and epoxy group which grafted onto the surface of Ce-ZnO. ZnO nanorods, Ce-ZnO nanorods, P(DMDAAC-AGE), P(DMDAAC-AGE)/ZnO composites, P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composites and commercial antimicrobials were respectively treated on the cotton fabrics and their biological properties were investigated. There is a synergistic effect between Ce-ZnO and N + from the polymer in the fabric treated with P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite so that it had a better antibacterial activity than pure polymer and pure Ce-ZnO. The antimicrobial rate of fabric treated with P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite could reach up to 96%. And in order to investigate the durable ability, the fabric was washed multiple times to simulate the daily use washing. The result showed that the fabric still gave a superior antibacterial performance after 11 cycles (the equivalent of 55 times house laundering). Simultaneously, the differences in the amount of P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite deposited on the fibers after washing were also investigated.

The exploration of methods to produce biomaterials with antibacterial properties in ultra-small scales is of great scientific and technological interest. Here, we reported a microfluidic spinning approach to prepare a novel film combined with konjac glucomannan (KGM), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. This film was transparent, orderly, thermally stable, and uniform in size, with an average width less than 1 μm. Also, the film exhibited excellent antibacterial efficiency (97.1% against E. coli , 99.7% against S. aureus , 97.3% against S. enterica and 99.9% against B. subtilis ) in our antibacterial test. In addition, the film promoted wound healing with the advanced development of neovascularization and hair follicles. This strategy provides a facile and green pathway for the construction of biomaterial films for medical applications.

Wearable devices have become very important for collecting health information and monitoring the condition of seriously ill patients. However, most recently developed wearable devices can only monitor limited signals within a very small range of values. A novel sensor is fabricated by modifying the surface of polyimide nanowires with silver nanoparticles. These nanowire sensors can sense both pressure and temperature changes and have antimicrobial properties. The fabricated sensor can detect a wide range of pressure variation from 5 KPa to 100 KPa. A theoretical model is developed to explain the sensing mechanism of the silver-nanoparticle-modified polyimide nanowires. The experimental and theoretical results for the nanowires are in good agreement. By attaching these sensors to human joints and fingers, real-time information can be detected for human motion, such as walking or holding a hot cup of water. The excellent performance of this device shows that it has great potential for use in artificial skins for detecting temperature and human motion.

Two low-methoxy pectins (LMPs) were obtained by local electrochemical pH modification using an H-type double-layer water bath sealed electrochemical cell at the voltage of 180 V for 3 h. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of citrus peel pectin (CPP) prepared in the anodic part at room temperature (CPP-A 5/RT ) and in the cathodic part at 5 °C (CPP-C 5/RT ) were 346 kDa and 328 kDa, respectively, and the degrees of methylation (DM) were 36.8 % and 11.9 %. Moreover, the second-order kinetic model was most appropriate for the degradation processes, as free radicals were generated in the anodic part and β -elimination occurred in the cathodic part. Subsequently, CPP-A 5/RT and CPP-C 5/RT were utilized to fabricate food packaging film blending with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), bcZnO (ZnO coupled with bentonite and colophony) nanorods , and Ca 2+ ions by casting method. Then the prepared films were studied for their ability to maintain the freshness of strawberries. The addition of Ca 2+ ions and bcZnO nanorods increased the thickness, water contact angle (WCA), and mechanical properties of the composite films, while decreased water vapor permeability (WVP). Therefore, the CPP-based films, supplemented with bcZnO nanorods and crosslinked with Ca 2+ ions by “egg-box” model, can serve as an antibacterial food packaging material for food preservation.

Growing of ZnO nanoparticles on PET films without crystal seeding has been achieved by employing polydopamine as the anchor. The PDA layer was formed on the surface of PET film by the polymerization of dopamine. The PDA-PET was dipped into zinc precursors for hydrothermal growth of ZnO nanoparticles. Cluster-like ZnO nanoparticles were obtained and the special structure was affected by the growing time and zinc ion concentration. The surface morphology, structure and properties were characterized, and the functions including antimicrobial activity and UV protection of the ZnO-coated PET film were investigated. The developed facile hydrothermal approach without seeding will benefit the development of UV resistant and antimicrobial PET films.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is a kind of natural, renewable, and biocompatible materials that can be functional via the surface modification. A covalently bonded CNCs-g-PDMAEMA was prepared by grafting 2-(dimethyl-amino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) on the CNCs’ surface via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Subsequently, the tertiary amino groups of the CNCs-g-PDMAEMA were transferred to quaternary ammonium groups by adding alkyl bromides with different carbon chain lengths (C10-C18). It was found that the antibacterial activity of the prepared materials is related to the quaternary group structure. The material containing C10 alkyl in quaternary group exhibited the best antibacterial efficiency, which was closely associated with the wettability of the quaternary CNCs-based polymers. The lower wettability of materials with higher hydrophobicity may impose a restriction on the polymeric antibacterial groups’ accessibility to the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. The antimicrobial CNCs-based composites may be potential to apply as coating agents for aseptic packaging.

Purpose To analyse phytochemical composition, antioxidant potential, antimicrobial activity and α-amylase, α-glucosidase and xanthine oxidase inhibitory potential of corn silk extracts derived from the Syngenta 5414 corn variety. Methods Corn silk sample was lyophilized and extracted using 80% ethanol, methanol, water or acetone. Phytochemicals were qualitatively screened and bioactive compounds were identified through GCMS. Antimicrobial activities were evaluated using the agar well method for bacteria and fungal biomass method for fungi. The extracts were subjected to evaluation for their antidiabetic activity through α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory assays, while their anti-gout potential was assessed through xanthine oxidase inhibitory assay, encompassing all four solvent extracts in the study. Results Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, sterols, protein xanthoproteic, and cardiac glycosides in the extracts. The Folin-Ciocalteu and AlCl 3 assays demonstrated higher yields of phenolics and flavonoids in 80% ethanolic extract. Furthermore, the extracts remarkably scavenged reactive oxygen species like DPPH, ABTS and elicited considerable ferric ion reducing antioxidant power. GC–MS analysis identified 21 compounds in the 80% ethanolic extract, with 1,2,3-Propanetriol-1-acetate, n-Hexadecanoic acid, and 4H-Pyran-4-one,2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl- as major components. Antimicrobial assays demonstrated the ethanolic (80%) and methanolic extract's remarkable ability to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and exhibit anti-fungal properties. The ethanolic (80%) extract exhibited an IC 50 value of 0.70 ± 0.02 and 0.71 ± 0.01 mg against α-amylase and α-glucosidase, respectively, and 33.76 ± 0.43 mg against xanthine oxidase. Conclusion Corn silk exhibits potential as a valuable reservoir of natural bioactive compounds endowed with a wide array of health-promoting properties. Graphical
