Modified Cellulose Nanocrystals Enabled Antimicrobial Polymeric Films
Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2024.This study presents the successful modification of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with antimicrobial polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (PHGH) using an isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) coupling agent. The product is incorporated into polylactic acid (PLA) plastic to produce a non‐leaching, nanocomposite film for application as an antimicrobial ...

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 312-335, March 2024.Abstract Urinary catheters and other medical devices associated with the urinary tract such as stents are major contributors to nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs) as they provide an access path for pathogens to enter the bladder. Considering that catheter‐associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) account for approximately 75% of UTIs and ...

Surface engineered fire protective coatings for fabrics through sol-gel and layer-by-layer methods: an overview [PDF]
, 2016 Fabric flammability is a surface-confined phenomenon: in fact, the fabric surface represents the most critical region, through which the mass and heat transfers, responsible for fuelling the flame, are controlled and exchanged with the surroundings. More

Maternal Inhalation of Humidifier Disinfectant Biocide Aerosol Particles, Polyhexamethylene Guanidine Phosphate, Induces Adverse Postnatal Development in Rat Offspring [PDF]
, 2020 Abstract Background: Inhalation exposure to polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate (PHMG-P), one of the primary biocides used in humidifier disinfectants, caused a fatal pulmonary disease in Korea. Pregnant women were also exposed to PHMG-P, and subsequent studies showed that PHMG-P inhalation adversely affects their health and prenatal ...
