AbstractHerein, a novel nanobiocomposite scaffold based on modifying synthesized cross-linked terephthaloyl thiourea-chitosan hydrogel (CTT-CS hydrogel) substrate using the extracted silk fibroin (SF) biopolymer and prepared Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles was designed and synthesized. The biological capacity of this nanobiocomposite scaffold was evaluated by cell viability method, red blood cells hemolytic and anti-biofilm assays. According to the obtained results from 3 and 7 days, the cell viability of CTT-CS/SF/Mg(OH)2 nanobiocomposite scaffold was accompanied by a considerable increment from 62.5 to 89.6% respectively. Furthermore, its low hemolytic effect (4.5%), and as well, the high anti-biofilm activity and prevention of the P. aeruginosa biofilm formation confirmed its promising hemocompatibility and antibacterial activity. Apart from the cell viability, blood biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity of CTT-CS/SF/Mg(OH)2 nanobiocomposite scaffold, its structural features were characterized using spectral and analytical techniques (FT-IR, EDX, FE-SEM and TG). As well as, given the mechanical tests, it was indicated that the addition of SF and Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles to the CTT-CS hydrogel could improve its compressive strength from 65.42 to 649.56 kPa.

In this work, Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) based on Europium (III) complex were studied, especially those with an oxygen plasma surface treatment onto indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrode. An OLED with the same thin-film structure but with untreated ITO was fabricated for comparison purposes. Current density-voltage characteristics for treated devices demonstrated an increase from 0.4 to 3.3 mA/cm² and a decrease of the turn-on voltage from 28 to 22 V. Additionally, improved hole injection through the transparent electrode impacted on optical response, as luminous efficiency increased from 26 to 44 mcd/A with the advantage of no significant disturb on the europium typical electroluminescence emission spectrum. Emission peak was observed at a wavelength of approximately 614 nm, which is defined by the transition associated with spectroscopic terms (5D0→7D2) and CIE chromaticity coordinates of (0.50;0.36).

Bamboo charcoal (BC) accompanied silver (Ag) nanocomposite is synthesized through sol–gel method. The produced BC/Ag nanocomposite was surface modified by air and oxygen plasma treatments. Silver ions (Ag[Formula: see text]) will serve to improve the antibacterial activity as well as the surface area of BC. Plasma treatment has improved the surface functional groups, crystalline intensity and antibacterial activity of the prepared nanocomposite. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies show that Ag nanoparticles have good agreement with BC and the particle size has a mean diameter of 20–40[Formula: see text]nm. We observe the carboxyl functional groups in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) after the oxygen plasma treatment. Moreover surface area and adsorption were analyzed by using the Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) surface area ([Formula: see text]) and UV–Vis spectroscopy.
