Hexafluoroisopropanol based silk fibroin coatings on AZ31 biometals with enhanced adhesion, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility

Comprehensive analysis of cationic dye removal from synthetic and industrial wastewater using a semi-natural curcumin grafted biochar/poly acrylic acid composite hydrogel

“…The adsorption approach is widely favored owing to its cost-effectiveness, ease of implementation, outstanding effectiveness, and ability to facilitate sludge-free cleaning operations. 26 The unique properties of metal–organic frameworks, 27 metal oxide, carbon-based nanomaterials (such as graphene, single/multiwall carbon nanotubes, and carbon fibers), porous adsorbents such as clay, fly ash, 6 zeolite, sepiolite, activated carbons, bionanomaterials, 28 natural and synthetic polymers, and agro wastes products (biochar) made them potential candidates for the removal of dyes. 29 Biochar has garnered attention in the field of environmental research due to its large surface to volume ratio, relatively low density, affordability, tolerance to high temperatures, and oxygen-containing functional groups (–COOH, –OH, –OCH 3 , and phenol).…”

Interaction Regularity of Biomolecules on Mg and Mg-Based Alloy Surfaces: A First-Principles Study

“…The biomolecular coating modified on the surface of biomedical materials is a direct contact site for cell adhesion and growth on the material surface, which has a significant impact on human physiological activities [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Numerous in vivo and in vitro animal experiments have shown that Mg alloy materials modified with functional biomolecular coatings have good biocompatibility, biomechanical compatibility, antibacterial properties, and appropriate corrosion resistance performance [7][8][9][10]. A key point in designing Mg alloy materials with functional surfaces is the formation of biological coatings that improve the adhesion and survival of specific cell types.…”

Electrophoretic Deposition of ZnO-Containing Bioactive Glass Coatings on AISI 316L Stainless Steel for Biomedical Applications

“…Moreover, ZnO is essentially antibacterial and very affordable, making it a promising additive for biomedical applications, especially when it comes to bacterial infections [16][17][18]. Surface functionalization is an important issue, as it adds extra functionalities to the surface of bioactive materials [19,20]. The AISI 316L stainless steel implants have been widely used in different orthopedic applications, on the grounds that AISI 316L alloy exhibits remarkable mechanical properties, stability, and corrosion resistance [21].…”
