Metronidazole‐Loaded Cyclodextrin Nanogels for Antibacterial Therapy and Microbiota Regulation in Periodontitis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A methacrylamide β‐cyclodextrin‐based nanogel (MACD nGel) is developed to load the antimicrobial drug Metronidazole (MNZ) for topical delivery for the treatment of periodontitis. It is demonstrated that cyclodextrin nanogel (nGel) loaded with metronidazole provides an efficient drug delivery route but also has potential clinical applications and offers

Ammonia removal from simulated fish farms by metal organic framework ingrained by egg shell and fish bones

Scientific Reports
The current work focuses on the efficient removal of ammonia by calcium-based metal organic framework. Whereas, for the first time, Ca based metal organic framework was synthesized using either fish bones (FB) or eggshell (ES) as biogenic wastes to act ...

Antibacterial Modification of Cellulosic Materials

BioResources, 2015
The proliferation of bacteria on the surfaces of cellulosic materials during their use and storage can have negative effects on the materials themselves and on consumers. People’s demands for materials with antibacterial properties have been satisfied in

Multiscale structure of cellulose microfibrils in regenerated cellulose fibers

Carbohydrate Polymers
Cellulose in solution can be assembled into textile fibers by wet-spinning (Viscose etc.) or dry-jet wet spinning (Lyocell, Ioncell etc.), which leads to significant differences in the mechanical properties of fibers. We use scanning X-ray microdiffraction (SXM) to reveal regenerated fibers having a "skin-core" morphology.

The Artistic Possibilities of Cellulosic Fibers

BioResources, 2016
Plant fibers have been used for over 2,000 years to make paper. When the process of hand papermaking paled, I set out to find a way to use cellulosic fibers as paint. A decade of experimenting led to the choice of 3 main fibers that worked best.
