A Novel Ag/CS-PVC Nanomaterial with High Antimicrobial Properties: A Potential Self-Sterilizing Biomaterial
نویسندگان
چکیده
The field of manufacturing technology has totally been renovated with the emergence of nanotechnology; and the mergence of nanoscience with material science, biology, biotechnology and medicine has completely novelized various arrays of biomedical engineering. For the nanomedicine landscape we have designed and developed Ag/CS-PVC nanocomposite material having superb antimicrobial properties which can effectively be used as self-sterilizing catheter biomaterial especially for the cardiovascular system. Arjuna bark, one of the best cardio-protector agents, has been involved for the production of silver nanoparticles. Several techniques have been used for the characterization of nanoparticles and the nanomaterial developed. This biomaterial is cost effective and extremely biocompatible.

متن کاملFrom egg shell wastes (ESWs) into advanced materials: A rapid and simple synthesis of CaO/Ca2Fe2O5 as a novel nanocomposite-derived ESW biomaterial
AbstractESW as a natural byproduct, although non-hazardous and contains calcium, magnesium carbonate and protein, is commonly disposed in landfills without any pretreatment because it was traditionally useless. In this regards, we wish to report the synthesis of a novel CaO/Ca2Fe2O5 nanocomposite based on ESW. At the first, eggshell (ES) nanopowder was prepared by ball-milling. Then, the ...
متن کاملA novel binary chlorhexidine-chitosan irrigant with high permeability, and long lasting synergic antibacterial effect.
Objective.Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) is an irrigant with a reasonable antibacterial ability and rather high permeability yet often fails to remove the smear layer. To solve this problem, CHX is upgraded through its complexion with chitosan (CS). Methods.Molar roots are split longitudinally by a rotary diamond saw. Chlorhexidine-chitosan (CHX-CS) is made by combinatio...
