Reflective Coloration from Structural Plasmonic to Disordered Polarizonic

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 2, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021
Here, a novel insight on reflective coloration at visible frequencies arising from ordered metallic “structured” plasmonic materials versus disordered mediums with specular reflection peaks is presented. While shedding the light on the static and dynamic colors, an emphasis on the newly introduced polarizonic resonance phenomenon, which emerges from ...

Poly‐ε‐Lysine or Mel4 Antimicrobial Surface Modification on a Novel Peptide Hydrogel Bandage Contact Lens

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 7, Issue 21, November 5, 2020., 2020
The antimicrobial activity of a poly‐ε‐lysine (pεK)–based hydrogel can be enhanced by attachment of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The AMPs, Mel4, or additional pεK, are covalently attached to the hydrogel using carbodiimide chemistry. Hydrogel lenses demonstrate antimicrobial activity in vitro and in an ex vivo porcine corneal infection model ...
