Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Efficiency of four solutions in removing 23 conventional antineoplastic drugs from contaminated surfaces.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundResidual contamination by intravenous conventional antineoplastic drugs (ICAD) is still a daily issue in hospital facilities. This study aimed to compare the efficiency (EffQ) of 4 different solutions to remove 23 widely used ICADs from ...

Spin‐Dependent Generation of Surface‐Bound Radicals Toward Selective and Long‐Lasting Water Purification

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel atomic engineering strategy to fine‐tune the spin state of α‐Fe2O3 catalysts toward a medium‐spin state, thereby modulating peroxymonosulfate activation and selectively yielding surface‐bound radicals. Compared with free radicals, surface‐bound radicals exhibit moderated oxidation potential, extended lifespan, surface ...

Antimicrobial Efficacy of a Taurolidine‐Based Antimicrobial Compound on Contaminated Surfaces Simulated in a Standardized 4‐Field Test

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
As implantable medical devices become indispensable to modern medicine, a silent threat grows alongside them: device‐associated infections. Despite decades of antibiotic innovation, infection rates keep climbing, costing lives and billions in healthcare expenses.

Effective responder communication improves efficiency and psychological outcomes in a mass decontamination field experiment: implications for public behaviour in the event of a chemical incident.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The risk of incidents involving mass decontamination in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear release has increased in recent years, due to technological advances, and the willingness of terrorists to use unconventional weapons ...

Eutectozymes as Soft Hybrid Materials for Advanced Biocatalysis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Eutectozymes are sustainable hybrid materials that embed a GOx–HRP cascade within hydrophobic eutectogels featuring a dual supramolecular–covalent network. This architecture preserves native enzyme structure and stability, enables efficient heterogeneous biocatalysis in aqueous media, and positions eutectogels as robust platforms for next‐generation ...

A Biochar‐Based Composite Hydrogel Microenvironment for Enhanced Biocatalysis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents the synthesis of a polyacrylamide hydrogel wherein biomass‐derived biochar is co‐encapsulated with the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The resulting composite hydrogel possesses balanced electron‐rich and electron‐deficient domains, creating an optimal microenvironment that concentrates both hydrogen peroxide and phenol ...

Insights into the Controlled Formation of Zr‐Based Metal–Organic Gels: Linking Macroscopic Properties with Molecular Information from Solution State NMR

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Real time STD/SDTD NMR unveils water structuring during UiO‐66 gelation under mild, acid‐free conditions compatible with biomolecule encapsulation. This approach bridges molecular‐scale solvent ordering with macroscopic gel properties, unlocking mechanistic insight for the rational design of MOF gels.
