Electro-Spun, Semiconducting, Oriented Fibres of Supramolecular Quasi-Linear Platinum Compounds

Production and Characterization of Gelatine Based Electro-spun Nano-fibres as Burn Wound Dressings

Silver sulfadiazine is used to prevent and treat infections of second- and third-degree burns. It kills a wide variety of bacteria. In this study silver sulfadiazine was used in gelatin based electro-spun nano-fibers with various drug to polymer ratios (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 %). SEM, EDX and FTIR analysis showed that the continuous, bead-free, fine fibers containing silver sulfadiazine as an anti...

Multifunctional, supramolecular, continuous artificial nacre fibres

Nature has created amazing materials during the process of evolution, inspiring scientists to studiously mimic them. Nacre is of particular interest, and it has been studied for more than half-century for its strong, stiff, and tough attributes resulting from the recognized "brick-and-mortar" (B&M) layered structure comprised of inorganic aragonite platelets and biomacromolecules. The past two ...

Cation-anion vacancy complexes in semiconducting compounds

Smallest optical gap for quasi-one-dimensional iodo-bridged platinum compounds.

We synthesized a series of one-dimensional (1D) iodo-bridged platinum compounds with long alkyl chains on the counterions. In the compounds, the shortest Pt···Pt distance and the smallest band gap thus far reported were achieved. These compounds were found to be in a CDW state by using synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements.
