Dual antibacterial effect of immobilized quaternary ammonium and aliphatic groups on PVC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A coating comprising quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) and aliphatic moieties was formed on the poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) surface in order to confer antibacterial activity. This was achieved by grafting mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane onto PVC, followed by

Anti-fungal and anti-termite activity of extractives compounds from thermally modified ash woods

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2020
Thermal modification of wood is a promising alternative to chemical and biocidal modification processes, increasing the biological durability and dimensional stability of wood. However, the wood-decay resistance properties of heat-treated wood are still

In a nanoscience lab [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The production, observation and manipulation of very small objects is a tour de force, but these objects, which could infiltrate anywhere without being seen, may arouse suspicion. To assess the situation at best, we describe the activity of a nanoscience
