Chitosan‐Graft‐Gelatin Hydrogel Containing Bromothymol Blue as a Food Spoilage Indicator for Intelligent Food Packaging

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A chitosan‐graft‐gelatin hydrogel, incorporating a pH‐responsive dye, bromothymol blue, as a colorimetric freshness indicator is introduced to monitor the spoilage of chicken breasts. The hydrogel indicates microbial activity, and the production of carbon dioxide due to deteriorating food freshness via a change in pH, and serves as a smart and visual ...

Nanoengineering of Chitosan Sponges Via Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO for Water Remediation Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Chitosan sponges are modified with ZnO through atomic layer deposition (ALD) to enhance water remediation. Characterization reveals the growth of defective ZnO, which improves the water stability of the sponges. The material's effectiveness is demonstrated through the removal of Direct Blue 78 dye and the photocatalytic degradation of Naproxen ...

In vitro activity of cefiderocol against carbapenemase-producing and meropenem-non-susceptible Gram-negative bacteria collected in the Japan Antimicrobial Resistant Bacterial Surveillance

open access: yesJournal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Objectives: The treatment options available for infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens are often limited. Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel siderophore cephalosporin that exhibits activity against these pathogens.

Stress Response of Aspergillus niger Spores to Copper Surfaces and the Implications for Antifungal Surface Functionalization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the antifungal efficacy of ultrashort pulsed laser‐induced periodic surface structures (USP‐DLIP) on copper, brass, and steel surfaces. Using Aspergillus niger as a model, the research highlights a 99% reduction in spore viability on 9 µm structured copper surfaces due to enhanced copper ion release. Scanning electron microscopy

Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO Coating on Biodegradable Fe‐Based Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A biodegradable Fe69Mn30C1 alloy is coated with ZnO using atomic layer deposition at 100 °C. Coating thickness impacts surface roughness, wettability, and in vitro degradation while maintaining hydrophilicity. The ZnO coating exhibits significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, achieving an inhibitory rate of up to 99.2%, and can ...

The Fabrication of Fluorine‐Free Stretchable Superhydrophobic Films Using Inverse Vulcanization Sulfur Polymer

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study developed a new type of flexible, water‐repellent coating made from sulfur, a byproduct of the petrochemical industry, combined with silica nanoparticles, while demonstrating how coating thickness impacts fragmentation during stretching, affecting wettability.
