Fundamentals, Advances, and Applications of Electrospun Nanofibrous 3D Materials

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 43, November 15, 2026.
Three‐dimensional electrospun nanofibrous systems offer unique properties and microenvironments. These properties are determined by the fabrication strategies employed and can be adjusted by the incorporation of functional additives to achieve multifunctionality for specific applications. The applications range from the biomedical to the environmental,

The Use of Blue Light as an Antimicrobial Treatment Against Staphylococcus aureus: A Systematic Review

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, Volume 58, Issue 9, Page 715-725, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause of skin, wound, and device‐related infections. Blue light (405–470 nm), shows promise for treating this organism. However, the translatability, dosing parameters, safety, and effectiveness remain unclear, and no systematic review currently exists.

Biocidal polymers (II): Determination of biological activity of novel N-halamine biocidal polymers and evaluation for use in water filters

Reactive and Functional Polymers, 2008
Novel N-halamine biocidal polymers were prepared by co-polymerizing a heterocyclic ring-based monomer with tolylene-2,6-diisocyanate and toluene-2,4-diisocyanate. The resulting polyurethanes were halogenated; chlorinated, brominated or iodinated. The rate of bacterial killing by the halogenated derivatives was determined both with and without halogen ...
