Argon Cold Plasma Modification of Polyethylene Films to Tailor Surface and Barrier Properties

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Argon cold plasma treatment of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) films induces major changes in surface chemistry and morphology. Contact angles decrease significantly while surface energy increases, improving wettability. FTIR confirms the formation of polar functional groups, while pronounced etching, roughness, and

The use of germinants to potentiate the sensitivity of Bacillus anthracis spores to peracetic acid

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Elimination of Bacillus anthracis spores from the environment is a difficult and costly process due in part to the toxicity of current sporicidal agents.

Effect of Physical and Chemical Treatments on Viability, Sub-Lethal Injury, and Release of Cellular Components from Bacillus clausii and Bacillus coagulans Spores and Cells

Foods, 2020
Bacterial spores are of concern to the food industry due to their ability to survive processing and their potential to subsequently germinate and grow in food. In this paper, two strains belonging to the genus Bacillus (B.

Observations upon the bacterial spore nucleus [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 1951
Discrete, Feulgen-positive granules, attached to the periphery of bacterial spores, were described by Pietschmann & Rippel (1931), who considered them to be residual cytoplasmic structures; by Stille (1937), who was apparently in doubt as to their nature; and by others, including Robinow (1945), who at first described them as the natural appearance
