New complex compounds based on apple pectin and pharmacologically active organic acids (nicotinic, salicylic, 5-aminosalicylic and anthranilic acids) were synthesized. The obtained complexes were characterized by a number of physicochemical research methods (UV, IR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy, electron microscopy, viscosimetry, polarimetry, and elemental analysis). Based on pharmacophore-containing pectins, stable iodine-containing films were obtained. The effect of the structure of a polysaccharide-modifying drug compound on the properties of iodine-containing polymeric materials was shown: iodine content, time of release of iodine from the film, diffusion and surface characteristics. The formation of a new set of properties in the production of iodine-containing films based on pharmacophore-containing pectins provides an increase in antimicrobial activity by 1.3-1.5 times in comparison with the initial polymer matrices.

The aim of this study was to prepare TiO2/Ag/Cu magnetron co-sputtered coatings with controlled characteristics and to correlate them with the antimicrobial activity of the coated glass samples. The elemental composition and distribution, surface morphology, wettability, surface energy and its component were estimated as the surface characteristics influencing the bioadhesion. Well expressed, specific, Ag/Cu concentration-dependent antimicrobial activity in vitro was demonstrated toward Gram-negative and Gram-positive standard test bacterial strains both by diffusion 21 assay and by Most Probable Number of surviving cells. Direct contact and eluted silver/coper nanoparticles killing were experimentally demonstrated as a mode of the antimicrobial action of the studied TiO2/Ag/Cu thin composite coatings. It is expected that they would ensure a broad spectrum bactericidal activity during the indwelling of the coated medical devices and for at least 12 h after that, with the supposition that the benefits will be over a longer time.

Biofilm formation on biomaterials is a challenge in the health area. Antimicrobial substances based on nanomaterials have been proposed to solve this problem. The aim was to incorporate nanostructured silver vanadate decorated with silver nanoparticles (β-AgVO3) into dental porcelains (IPS Inline and Ex-3 Noritake), at concentrations of 2.5% and 5%, and evaluate the surface characteristics (by SEM/EDS), antimicrobial activity (against Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), silver (Ag+) and vanadium (V4+/V5+) ions release, and mechanical properties (microhardness, roughness, and fracture toughness). The β-AgVO3 incorporation did not alter the porcelain’s components, reduced the S. mutans, S. sobrinus and A. actinomycetemcomitans viability, increased the fracture toughness of IPS Inline, the roughness for all groups, and did not affect the microhardness of the 5% group. Among all groups, IPS Inline 5% released more Ag+, and Ex-3 Noritake 2.5% released more V4+/V5+. It was concluded that the incorporation of β-AgVO3 into dental porcelains promoted antimicrobial activity against S. mutans, S. sobrinus, and A. actinomycetemcomitans (preventing biofilm formation), caused a higher release of vanadium than silver ions, and an adequate mechanical behavior was observed. However, the incorporation of β-AgVO3 did not reduce P. aeruginosa viability and increased the surface roughness of dental porcelains.

The reaction of 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2-phenylchroman-4-one with dibromoalkanes in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate proceeds according to the Michael’s retro-reaction O-alkylation and leads to the formation of the corresponding 2-(bromo-alkoxy) chalcones. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by IR-, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The cytotoxic, hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of chalcone derivatives (2-3) were studied for the first time in vitro and in vivo.

Patterned Films

Polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) is utilized in the characterization of a new class of polymeric materials that exhibit unique optical properties. The differential nature of PM-IRRAS, coupled with the fact that the experiment was performed on a commercially available hardware setup, makes the technique ideal for studying selectively deposited polyion multilayers on metal surfaces. The system under study was a polymeric thin film of alternating bilayers of sulfonated polystyrene/poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (SPS/PDAC) fabricated by ionic multilayer assembly. Specifically, patterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of (Ω-functionalized alkane thiolates were used as the molecular template. Alternating layers of polyanion and polycation were then selectively adsorbed onto specific regions of the surface to form a patterned films of thicknesses from 150 to 400 Å. The total thickness of the film was measured at 150 Å with the use of ellipsometry. Polyion conformation plays a crucial role in the selectivity of the patterned film, film surface characteristics, and ultimately, the ability of these systems to function as optical devices. The infrared spectroscopic data give insight into chemical composition and conformation and show that the molecular orientation of polyions in these polymeric multilayer structures depends on the ionic content of the initial solutions.

The reduction of biofouling and the reduction of cross-contamination in the food industry are important aspects of safety management systems. Polymeric surfaces are used extensively throughout the food production industry and therefore ensuring that effective cleaning regimes are conducted is vital. Throughout this study, the influence of the surface characteristics of three different polymeric surfaces, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), on the removal of Escherichia coli using a wipe clean method utilising 3% sodium hypochlorite was determined. The PTFE surfaces were the roughest and demonstrated the least wettable surface (118.8°), followed by the PMMA (75.2°) and PET surfaces (53.9°). Following cleaning with a 3% sodium hypochlorite solution, bacteria were completely removed from the PTFE surfaces, whilst the PMMA and PET surfaces still had high numbers of bacteria recovered (1.2 × 107 CFU/mL and 6.3 × 107 CFU/mL, respectively). When bacterial suspensions were applied to the surfaces in the presence of a blood conditioning film, cleaning with sodium hypochlorite demonstrated that no bacteria were recovered from the PMMA surface. However, on both the PTFE and PET surfaces, bacteria were recovered at lower concentrations (2.0 × 102 CFU/mL and 1.3 × 103 CFU/mL, respectively). ATP bioluminescence results demonstrated significantly different ATP concentrations on the surfaces when soiled (PTFE: 132 relative light units (RLU), PMMA: 80 RLU and PET: 99 RLU). Following cleaning, both in the presence and absence of a blood conditioning film, all the surfaces were considered clean, producing ATP concentrations in the range of 0–2 RLU. The results generated in this study demonstrated that the presence of a blood conditioning film significantly altered the removal of bacteria from the polymeric surfaces following a standard cleaning regime. Conditioning films which represent the environment where the surface is intended to be used should be a vital part of the test regime to ensure an effective disinfection process.

Cellulose and m-aramid were dissolved in an ionic liquid, and dry-jet wet spinning was employed to prepare composite fibers which could be rendered antimicrobial through exposure to chlorine bleach. The small domains of the m-aramid allowed a much higher accessibility and degree of chlorination than has been reported even for 100% m-aramid fibers. The mechanical properties including denier, tenacity, and strain at break were evaluated. The chlorinated composite fiber inactivated both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The antimicrobial activity was retained after repeated washing and recharging.

The uses of polymeric materials in today's world are vast. Polymers are finding applications in the microelectronics industry as dielectric insulators and photoresists, in the aerospace and automobile industry as lightweight substitutes for metals, and in biotechnology as replacement components for bone, heart, and other organs. These are just a few of the many end uses of polymers.Often, a polymer may have a particular, desirable property but processing of the polymer is difficult or the polymer's surface characteristics are undesirable. To circumvent such shortcomings there are several options. The first is to synthesize a new material, which is quite costly and time consuming. Alternatively, two polymers with complimentary properties can be mixed. Unfortunately, most polymer pairs are immiscible unless there are specific interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding) between the two components. Consequently, coarse phase separation is often observed, leading to an ill-defined material. Finally, two chemically distinct homopolymers can be joined together at one point, forming a block copolymer. While phase separation may occur, the scale of the domains is restricted to the sizes of the individual homopolymers, which is typically on the tens of nanometers scale. The added advantage of this approach is that the size of the different blocks can be altered, varying the concentration of the different components. For copolymers that “microphase” separate, this variation in composition leads to a variation of the morphology of the microdomains ranging from spherical to cylindrical to lamellar.
