Recently, there has been interest in designing recyclable and economical material for actual environmental remediation. In the present research work, amine-functionalised biosilica/alginate (NH2-SiO2/ALG) composite was evaluated efficient capture of carbon dioxide (CO2). The morphological textural properties NH2-SiO2/ALG were comprehensively characterised by BET, SEM, XRD, TGA, FTIR techniques....

Two antimicrobial agents such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) have been formulated with natural polysaccharides (chitosan or alginate) to develop innovative inks for the rapid, customizable, extremely accurate manufacturing of 3D-printed scaffolds useful dressings in treatment infected skin wounds. Suitable chemical–physical properties applicability these devices wer...

The immune response after implantation of a biomaterial may shorten the functional life implant, depending on degree response. In this study, we used polyacrylamide-alginate (PAAm-Alg) hydrogel, which has been previously characterized as biocompatible material and shown to enhance regeneration cartilage in vivo, along with graphite-enhanced hydrogel (PAAm-Alg-G) non-biocompatible counterpart, e...

Skin wound healing is time-consuming and frequently accompanied by bacterial infections the development of scars. The rise antibiotic-resistant strains has sparked a growing interest in naturally occurring bioactive substances, like curcumin, that possess wound-healing capabilities. Silver natural antimicrobial agent, finds extensive use specialized dressings. nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthes...

Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite containing selenite ions (SeHA; 9.6 wt.% of selenium) was synthesized using wet method and subject to careful physicochemical analysis by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence, and inductively coupled plasma optical emissi...

This study is aimed at revealing the dietary protein requirement for gonad production in sea urchin Mesocentrotus nudus, with consideration of leaching from diets during seawater immersion. Feeding trials were performed on M. nudus using two diet types low capacities leaching: starch (STG) containing 0–40% gluten 10%, 5%, and 4% increments (experiments 1–3) alginate (ALG) 5–25% 5% (experiment 4...

In this study, Lactobacillus reuteri B2 was isolated from the feces of C57BL/6 mice and assessed on probiotic activity. L. identified by 16S rDNA sequencing, which cell viability in acidic conditions at pH 2.0 64% after 2 h, presents 0.30% bile salts, 6 37%. Antimicrobial assay with showed maximum diameters against Klebsiela oxytoca J7 (12.5 ± 0.71 mm). We further hypothesized if strain free fo...

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect ultrasonication on citronella oil encapsulation using alginate/carrageenan (Alg/Carr) in presence sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). functional groups microparticles were characterized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and beads’ morphologies observed a scanning electron microscope (SEM). FTIR results showed that process caus...

Natural herbal compounds have been widely introduced as an alternative therapeutic approach in cancer therapy. Despite potent anticancer activity of curcumin, its clinical application has been limited because of low water solubility and resulting poor bioavailability. In this study, we designed a novel ultrasonic-assisted method for the synthesis of curcumin-loaded chitosan-alginate-sodium trip...

Polymer nanocomposites containing nanometals became a subject of interest due to their bactericidal properties. Different polysaccharides have been used as matrices for nanosilver and nanogold synthesis. In this study, we present novel, environmentally friendly method the preparation sodium alginate/nanosilver/graphene oxide (GOX) alginate/nanogold/graphene GOX characteristics. The formation ap...
