Curcumin The design of the device for producing a high-current, bipolar nanosecond discharge over the surface of a non-metallic liquid (water, electrolytes, alcohols, etc.) in air is given. Air pressure is ranged from 5 to 101 kPa. The distance between the tip of the blade and the surface of water or liquid (5% solution of copper sulfate in distilled water) was 4 mm, and the distance between parallel metal blades was 40 mm. The conditions for uniform plasma overlapping of the electrolyte surface between the metal blades are established. The spatial, electrical, and optical characteristics of the discharge are investigated. It is shown that the discharge under study allows obtaining colloidal solutions of copper nanoparticles in distilled water in a macroscopic amount (1 liter or more). The developed reactor is of interest for use in poisonous chemical solution disinfection systems, solutions based on dangerous bacteria and viruses for which the use of traditional systems with a point spark discharge or a barrier discharge becomes ineffective. The rector is also promising for the synthesis of colloidal solutions of transition metal oxide nanoparticles from solutions of the corresponding salts. These solutions can be used in micro-nanotechnology and for antibacterial treatment of plants in greenhouses, processing of medical instruments and materials.

In this work the in vitro antimicrobial activity of colloidal solutions of nine different commercially available nanoparticles were investigated against Staphylococcus aureus strains, both methicillin-sensitive (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant (MRSA). Research covered antimicrobial investigation of different metal and metal-oxide nanoparticles, including Ag 10 nm, Ag 40 nm, Al2O3 100 nm, Au 20 nm, Pt 4 nm, TiO2 100 nm, Y2O3 100 nm, ZnO 100 nm and ZrO2 100 nm nanoparticles. Such materials were foreseen to be applied as coatings on 3D-printed biodegradable polymers: i.e., catheters, disposable materials, hospital bedding items, disposable antimicrobial linings and bandages for chronic wounds. Therefore, the antimicrobial activity of the nanoparticles was determined by agar well diffusion assays and serial microdilution broth assays. In addition, the chromatographic characterization of elements present in trace amounts was performed as a method for tracing the nanoparticles. Moreover, the potential of preparing the rough surface of biodegradable polymers for coating with antimicrobial nanoparticles was tested by 3D-printing fused deposition methodology. The in vitro results have shown that particular nanoparticles provided powerful antimicrobial effects against MSSA and MRSA strains, and can be easily applied on different biopolymers.

Abstract Graphene-based membranes have great potential to revolutionize nanofiltration technology, but achieving high solute rejections at high water flux remains extremely challenging. Herein, a family of ultrafine metal oxide/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites are synthesized through a heterogenous nucleation and diffusion-controlled growth process for dye nanofiltration. The synthesis is based on the utilization of oxygen functional groups on GO surface as preferential active sites for heterogeneous nucleation, leading to the formation of sub-3nm size, monodispersing as well as high-density loading of metal oxide nanoparticles. The anchored ultrafine nanoparticles could inhibit the wrinkling of the rGO nanosheet, forming highly stable colloidal solutions for solution-processing fabrication of nanofiltration membranes. By functioning as pillars, the nanoparticles remarkably increase both vertical interlayer spacing and lateral tortuous paths of the rGO membranes, offering an unprecedented water permeability of 225 L m− 2 h− 1 bar − 1 and a high selectivity up to 98% in the size-exclusion separation of methyl blue.
