Graphene–Catechol Dental Sealant: Antibacterial and Mechanical Evaluation

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents dental sealants made with graphene and L‐DOPA‐modified graphene. L‐DOPA enhances graphene dispersion, improving sealant properties. The material shows antibacterial activity against S. mutans and L. casei, along with high strength and elasticity.

Unlocking the Power of Quercetin‐Encapsulated Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles: A Multifunctional Approach to Bone Regeneration

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) are investigated for bone regeneration given their remarkable structural and functional properties. MBGNs are functionalized with Mn and Cu and incorporated with quercetin, a natural flavonoid exhibiting antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

Efficiency of four Malaysian commercial disinfectants on removing Listeria monocytogenes biofilm [PDF]

, 2013
Listeria monocytogenes(L. monocytogenes) is a gram positive food-borne pathogen that is able to form biofilm on food factory surfaces. Formation of biofilm makes the bacteria much more resistance to environmental stresses such as disinfectant.

Bioinspired Materials, Designs, and Manufacturing Strategies for Advanced Impact‐Resistant Helmets

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how bioinspired materials, structures, and manufacturing strategies transform helmet design to achieve enhanced impact resistance. Drawing inspiration from nacre, porcupine quills, beetle exoskeletons, and skull architectures, it highlights advances in auxetic lattices, nanocomposites, and functionally graded foams.

Direct Recycling of Cold Work Tool Steel Swarf into New Cutting Disks via Field‐Assisted Sintering

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Through a sintering method known as field‐assisted sintering technology/spark plasma sintering, cold work tool steel swarf can be directly recycled into new cutting disks. This method is capable of densifying the unconventional powder morphology of swarf, and it can also seal grinding contaminants, such as Al2O3, into the steel matrix.

3D Bioprinting of Thick Adipose Tissues with Integrated Vascular Hierarchies

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
An advanced 3D bioprinting technique is used here to create thick adipose tissues with a central, vessel and extensive branching. The construct is made using alginate, gelatin and collagen‐based bioinks. Flow through the complex vessel network is demonstrated as well as its successful integration with a femoral artery following implantation in a rat ...

Exposure to Low Doses of Biocides Increases Resistance to Other Biocides and to Antibiotics in Strains of Listeria monocytogenes

Biology
The effect of sub-inhibitory doses of three disinfectants, sodium hypochlorite (SHY), peracetic acid (PAA), and benzalkonium chloride (BZK), on the resistance to biocides and antibiotics of five strains of Listeria monocytogenes was determined.
