Contact Antibacterial and Biocompatible Polymeric, Composite with Copper Zeolite Filler and Copper Oxide, Nanoparticles: A Step Towards New Raw Materials for the Biomedical Industry

This paper introduces a simple procedure for developing composite materials with antibacterial and biocompatible properties using polylactic acid (PLA) and polypropylene (PP). These composites incorporate three variants of zeolites in different percentages as filler agents: pure zeolite (PZ), copper ion-saturated zeolite (LZ), and copper-ion-saturated zeolite with copper oxide nanoparticles (LZ-nCu). The composites were prepared by the extrusion method and manufactured by injection molding. The impact of these zeolites on various material properties was evaluated, including morphology, thermal stability, mechanical properties, antibacterial capacity, biocompatibility, water absorption, and chemical resistance. The results demonstrated that (i) the incorporation of zeolite into the PP matrix improved thermal stability and increased the tensile modulus of the composites. For PLA-based composites, although there was a slight decrease in these values compared to pure PLA, they remained within acceptable ranges; (ii) zeolite LZ and LZnCu composites at 5 and 10% by weight effectively inhibited the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria within a maximum of 2 hours of contact; and (iii) composites containing 10% by weight of PZ, LZ, or LZ-nCu showed reduced mechanical properties due to a tendency to form agglomerates. Additionally, LZ and LZ-nCu composites with the same percentage proved highly toxic to human gingival fibroblast cells (HGFs). PLA/LZ-nCu at 5% and PP/LZ at 5% composites exhibited antibacterial properties with bactericidal effects upon contact, high biocompatibility, and lower water absorption compared to the pure polymeric matrix. These results highlight the operational effectiveness of the procedure and suggest the potential of these composites in biomedical applications, such as in vitro dentistry, without contamination risks.

An innovative multilayered material fabricated through additive manufacturing for structural applications: method and mechanical properties

Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) is a cost-effective method for fabricating structurally sound components. Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a popular AM technique known for its design flexibility, minimal material wastage, and recyclability. Poly lactic acid (PLA) is a thermoplastic widely used in aerospace, biomedical, and automobile industries. Wood-PLA, incorporating wood fillers into PLA, finds applications in several industries. This research explores multilayered materials (MLM) for enhanced performance in various sectors such as aircraft, energy, and biomedical. Mechanical properties of MLM were investigated under different load conditions (tensile, bend, compressive). Properties simulated through Finite Element Method (FEM) showed minimal error (less than 1 %). Microscopic analysis, aided by scanning electron microscope (SEM) fractography, reveals a brittle mode of failure in the specimens. This study provides valuable insights into the mechanical behaviour of MLM, offering potential applications in diverse industries.

Sub-millisecond keyhole pore detection in laser powder bed fusion using sound and light sensors and machine learning

Abstract Laser powder bed fusion is a mainstream additive manufacturing technology widely used to manufacture complex parts in prominent sectors, including aerospace, biomedical, and automotive industries. However, during the printing process, the presence of an unstable vapor depression can lead to a type of defect called keyhole porosity, which is detrimental to the part quality. In this study, we developed an effective approach to locally detect the generation of keyhole pores during the printing process by leveraging machine learning and a suite of optical and acoustic sensors. Simultaneous synchrotron x-ray imaging allows the direct visualization of pore generation events inside the sample, offering high-fidelity ground truth. A neural network model adopting SqueezeNet architecture using single-sensor data was developed to evaluate the fidelity of each sensor for capturing keyhole pore generation events. Our comparative study shows that the near infrared images gave the highest prediction accuracy, followed by 100kHz and 20kHz microphones, and the photodiode sensitive to processing laser wavelength had the lowest accuracy. Using a single sensor, over 90% prediction accuracy can be achieved with a temporal resolution as short as 0.1 ms. A data fusion scheme was also developed with features extracted using SqueezeNet neural network architecture and classification using different machine learning algorithms. Our work demonstrates the correlation between the characteristic optical and acoustic emissions and the keyhole oscillation behavior, and thereby provides strong physics support for the machine learning approach.

Biotechnological potential of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Shirota for bioemulsifier, bacteriocin and lipase production.

This study aimed to evaluate the biotechnological potential of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Shirota to produce biosurfactants/bioemulsifiers, lipase, and bacteriocins. The production of biosurfactants/bioemulsifiers was evaluated through a central composite rotational design (CCRD) 22. L. paracasei produced bioemulsifiers using MRS supplemented with 4.8% glycerol and pH 6 or 7. In addition, the culture supernatants of L. paracasei were tested for antioxidant, antidiabetic, and lipolytic activities. The tested supernatants did not exhibit antioxidant activity. On the other hand, they showed inhibitory activity for amyloglucosidase (20.7% and 23.9%) and lipolytic activity (16.12 and 19.00 U/mL). In addition, a CCRD 23 was performed to evaluate the production of bacteriocins. The peptone and lactose concentration variables, as well as pH positively influenced the production of bacteriocins by L. paracasei. In conclusion, L. paracasei is a viable source of antidiabetic metabolites, bacteriocins, bioemulsifiers, and lipase, suggesting that they are promising to be applied in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, environmental, food, and biomedical industries.

Silica-Biomacromolecule Interactions: Toward a Mechanistic Understanding of Silicification.

Silica-organic composites are receiving renewed attention for their versatility and environmentally benign compositions. Of particular interest is how macromolecules interact with aqueous silica to produce functional materials that confer remarkable physical properties to living organisms. This Review first examines silicification in organisms and the biomacromolecule properties proposed to modulate these reactions. We then highlight findings from silicification studies organized by major classes of biomacromolecules. Most investigations are qualitative, using disparate experimental and analytical methods and minimally characterized materials. Many findings are contradictory and, altogether, demonstrate that a consistent picture of biomacromolecule-Si interactions has not emerged. However, the collective evidence shows that functional groups, rather than molecular classes, are key to understanding macromolecule controls on mineralization. With recent advances in biopolymer chemistry, there are new opportunities for hypothesis-based studies that use quantitative experimental methods to decipher how macromolecule functional group chemistry and configuration influence thermodynamic and kinetic barriers to silicification. Harnessing the principles of silica-macromolecule interactions holds promise for biocomposites with specialized applications from biomedical and clean energy industries to other material-dependent industries.

Self-Assembly Behavior of Collagen and Its Composite Materials: Preparation, Characterizations, and Biomedical Engineering and Allied Applications.

Collagen is the oldest and most abundant extracellular matrix protein and has many applications in biomedical, food, cosmetic, and other industries. Previous reviews have already introduced collagen's sources, structures, and biosynthesis. The biological and mechanical properties of collagen-based composite materials, their modification and application forms, and their interactions with host tissues are pinpointed. It is worth noting that self-assembly behavior is the main characteristic of collagen molecules. However, there is currently relatively little review on collagen-based composite materials based on self-assembly. Herein, we briefly reviewed the biosynthesis, extraction, structure, and properties of collagen, systematically presented an overview of the various factors and corresponding characterization techniques that affect the collagen self-assembly process, and summarize and discuss the preparation methods and application progress of collagen-based composite materials in different fields. By combining the self-assembly behavior of collagen with preparation methods of collagen-based composite materials, collagen-based composite materials with various functional reactions can be selectively prepared, and these experiences and outcomes can provide inspiration and practical techniques for the future development directions and challenges of collagen-based composite biomaterials in related applications fields.

Dynamics of particle entrainment for glass particles suspended in various fluids

The frictional properties of two sliding surfaces are often influenced by a fluid lubricant’s ability to separate and facilitate movement. When particles are present, their entrainment between surfaces can alter friction, either increasing or decreasing it compared to fluid lubrication alone. Understanding the frictional regimes and the dynamics driving particle entrainment in suspensions is thus critical. This study investigates the tribological properties of glass particles suspended in various fluid matrices. We examined suspensions with varying particle concentrations, fluid viscosities, fluid hydrophobicity, and particle hydrophobicity. Our findings reveal that particle lubrication dominates under the following conditions: (I) high particle concentrations, (II) high fluid viscosities, (III) strong particle – surface interactions, and (IV) weak fluid – particle interactions. These insights are crucial for applications in food science, biomedical industries, and pharmaceuticals, where controlling particle friction is essential for optimizing consumer satisfaction and ensuring the performance and safety of lubricants in medical devices.

Robust design optimization of Critical Quality Indicators (CQIs) of medical-graded polycaprolactone (PCL) in bioplotting

Polycaprolactone (PCL), either in its pure grade or as a polymeric matrix for bio-composites, plays a key role in the biomedical and bioengineering industries. It is also considered a multifunctional and versatile polymer for bioprinting and bioplotting purposes, especially in tissue engineering. Herein, an undiscovered yet valuable aspect of PCL extrusion-based bioprinting, such as the predictability of Critical Quality Indicators (CQIs), is investigated in depth. With the aid of the robust L25 orthogonal matrix design, the six most generic and device-independent control factors proved their impact on quality metrics such as global porosity, dimensional conformity, and surface roughness, determined with the aid of highly evolved Nondestructive Testing (NDT) and algorithms. To this end, 25 experimental runs were set, and 125 specimens were fabricated using an industrial-scale bio-plotter and medical-graded polycaprolactone. Various infill densities (ID), layer thicknesses (LT), raster deposition angles (RDA), printing speeds (PS), nozzle temperatures (NT), and bed temperatures (BT) were applied. CQIs were determined using optical profilometry and microscopy, and micro-computed tomography. Quadratic predictive equations were compiled and verified using two additional, well-chosen experimental runs. These generally applicable predictive models carry a massive amount of research and industrial merit, as they ensure visibility in bioprinting with PCL.

AISI D2 steel machining and manufacturing process optimization for tooling applications in biomedical industry

Tool steels such as AISI D2 are famous in the manufacturing industry because of their engineering applications. The precise interplay of improved hardness and toughness makes the machining of complex geometries challenging through conventional machining options. Therefore, non-conventional processes such as wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) are preferred because of their simultaneous machining and surface modification actions. To investigate the complex process parameters and their sensitivity, material removal rate (MRR) and cutting surface roughness (SR) are the corresponding performance measure characteristics for WEDM machining on AISI D2 tool steel. The L18 mixed-level Taguchi technique has been used for obtaining combinations of experiments on two levels of thickness and three levels of other remaining factors (21 × 33). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and signal-to-noise ratio have been applied to measure the magnitude of effects on each control factor, to investigate the optimum levels of input process parameters on machining characteristics, and to identify their significance. ANOVA analysis revealed that, for both responses, all main effect variables are highly significant, with p-values equal to zero. Moreover, the coefficient of determination (R2) value in the ANOVA findings for both responses is above 97%, indicating the high reliability of the model. In addition, the composite desirability (dG) is considered to maximize MRR and minimize the SR during WEDM of D2; the better combination of optimum levels of machining parameters (T = 25.4 mm, Pon = 4 µs, SV = 95 V, and WT = 5 kg-f) has a dG of 0.5614.

Microstructure and performance of compositionally graded Ta2O5/Ti thin films on Ti6Al4V alloy deposited by magnetron sputtering

Tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) ceramic is a promising material for modifying metal implants due to its superior wear resistance, chemical stability, and biocompatibility. However, the clinical application of Ta2O5 coatings may be limited by inadequate adhesion, resulting from performance mismatches between Ta2O5 coatings and metal substrates. In this study, a Ta2O5/Ti gradient film was developed on the Ti6Al4V titanium alloy substrate using magnetron sputtering, consisting of a Ti bonding layer, four Ta2O5-Ti composite interlayers with graded composition, and a Ta2O5 surface layer. The microstructure and properties of the Ta2O5/Ti gradient films were investigated, with a Ta2O5 monolayer coating as a reference. Results reveal that the gradient layers have higher density, lower surface roughness, diminished residual thermal stress, and improved adhesion, mechanical properties, and wear resistance compared to the Ta2O5 monolayer coating. However, the corrosion resistance of the Ta2O5/Ti gradient layer sample is inferior to that of the Ta2O5 monolayer coating sample, attributed to interphase corrosion between Ta2O5 and Ti within the interlayers. These significant findings offer a promising approach for enhancing the overall performance of Ta2O5 coating on Ti6Al4V titanium alloy surfaces, thereby opening avenues for widespread application in the biomedical industry.

Estimation of Rheological Coefficients of Acacia nilotica Gum: A Versatile Biopolymer for Biomedical and Food Industries

Introduction: Polysaccharides are widely used in the biomedical and food industries as thickening, gelling, emulsifying, hydrating, and suspending agents. Polysaccharides have adequate viscoelastic properties and flow characteristics. The purpose of this study was to determine various rheological parameters of Acacia nilotica (Babool) gum. Methods: Understanding the influence of temperature on rheological properties is quite important for polymeric materials to be considered as pharmaceutical excipients. Thus, a polymeric solution of purified Babool gum was prepared, and the influence of temperature on its rheological behaviour (viscosity and surface tension) was investigated to develop a better understanding of the structural organization of the gum. Furthermore, viscosity, surface tension, temperature coefficient, activation energy, Gibbs free energy, Reynolds number, and entropy of fusion were calculated using the Arrhenius, Gibbs–Helmholtz, Frenkel–Eyring, and Eotvos equations, respectively. Results: The activation energy of the gum was 3.81 ± 0.18 kJ/mol. Changes in entropy and enthalpy were 0.56 ± 0.23 and 4.27 ± 0.81 kJ/mol, respectively. The calculated amount of entropy of fusion was found to be 0.014 ± 0.01 kJ mol−1 K−1. Conclusion: The study outcomes showed that the viscosity and surface tension increased as the temperature decreased. The good rheological properties of Babool gum make it a suitable excipient for its applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Do Wettability Measurements Define Corrosion Inhibition of Etched Surfaces? A Study on Acid‐Etched 316L Stainless Steel

Special wetting surfaces have attracted attention owing to their potential applications in the automotive, engineering, environmental, and biomedical industries. Specifically, nature‐inspired superhydrophobic surfaces are more effective in blocking moisture, thus limiting corrosion. Hence, surface wettability analysis remains the primary method for demonstrating the corrosion mitigation characteristics of rough‐engineered surfaces. Herein, the influence of wettability measurements on the corrosion inhibition of 316L stainless steel surfaces etched in HCl: HNO3 acid is systematically investigated. Interestingly, etched hydrophobic surfaces with a contact angle of ≈125° significantly improve the corrosion resistance by 50%, resulting in suppressed corrosion rates. Furthermore, the surface chemical states of the etched 316L steel are analyzed and discussed in detail.

Green Seaweeds as a Potential Source of Biomolecules and Bioactive Peptides: Recent Progress and Applications - A Review.

Over the past few decades, seaweed has been explored as a sustainable source in biotechnological and biomedical industries because of its multiple biopotential actions. However, the composition of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, fatty acids, free amino acids, ash, minerals, vitamins, and especially protein in green seaweeds varies from species to species based on their growth stage and the environmental conditions. Specifically, seaweed-derived bioactive proteins and peptides have the potential for several health benefits. They serve as a balanced diet. Protein which is an extensive macronutrient in human nutrition, should be explored to avoid using animal-sourced protein, which is expensive to consume. Bioactive peptides that are isolated from marine algae consist of various kinds of functional properties. In the food industry, seaweeds are novel molecules for being used in both nutritional foods and nutraceuticals. In both in vitro and In vivo conditions, various seaweed-derived bioactive compounds have shown a broad range of biological activities including anti-cancer and immunomodulatory, anti-hypertensive, and anti-coagulant activities. Hence, this review paper discusses the screening of seaweed-derived biochemicals with a special focus on their proteins, peptide contents, and nutra-pharmaceutical values.

Heat and mass transfer in tri‐layer ependymal ciliary transport with diverse viscosity

AbstractSpecialized cilia known as ependymal cilia help the cerebrospinal fluid, which is important for nutrient delivery and waste elimination, to circulate in the brain. Many species rely on cilia and flagella for fluid movement and motility. Cilia and flagella, for instance, produce propulsive forces that allow unicellular creatures like Paramecium and Euglena to move through their surroundings. Ciliary transport plays a role in the flow of egg cells, or oocytes, via the fallopian tubes in the female reproductive system. The transfer of the egg towards the uterus is facilitated by the synchronized wave‐like motion produced by the cilia lining the fallopian tubes. Like this, ciliary transport in men aids in the passage of sperm cells via the epididymis. Many scientists and researchers are studying the mechanics of cilia motion and the properties of the viscoelastic fluid layer to develop new treatments and applications in biomedical engineering and for some diseases. Motivated by a wide range of biological applications, the objective of this study is to investigate the heat and mass transfer flow of tri‐layered Newtonian fluids flowing with the help of ciliary beating in a Cartesian coordinate. The fluid is incompressible, and fluid layers are not intermixed. The fluid flow with heat and mass transfer is first modelled in wave and then transmuted into fixed. Solutions for temperature profile, velocity distribution, stresses and concentration distribution are obtained. The influence of incipient parameters is displayed with graphs and plotted with the computational software MATHEMATICA 13.0 in the results section. The key findings obtained from graphs show that the maximum magnitude for temperature and velocity is achieved in the middle layer of fluid whereas in the outer layer concentration profile is maximum. It is predicted that this approach will make an essential contribution to the progress and enhancement of various types of drug delivery systems in the biomedical industry and biomechanics.

Green Synthesis of Quinoline-Based Ionic Liquid.

The ever-growing menace of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) jeopardizes the potency of the prevailing antibiotics against the relentlessly sprouting infections spawned by bacteria, viruses, parasites as well as fungi, posing a great threat to human health and well-being. In this regard, several novel molecules have proved their mettle, with Ionic Liquids (ILs) being one of the most eco-friendly, non-volatile, and thermally stable alternatives to the existing antimicrobials, possessing high solvating potential as well as low vapor pressure. Moreover, the utilization of these entities in both stabilizing as well as destabilizing protein structures and enhancing enzymatic activity has further raised their potential in the biomedical industry. With this in view, we present the green synthesis and characterization of quinoline-based IL, owing to its immense antimicrobial potency, with low cytotoxicity and great artificial chaperone activity. Here, maneuvering the one-pot synthesis approach in solvent-free, greener reaction conditions not only ameliorated the reaction efficiency but also augmented the chemical yield. The purity of the synthesized IL was corroborated using 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, and Infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The biological potential of the synthesized compound is further validated by analyzing its Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity (ADMET) properties and authenticated using disc diffusion assay.

Achieving ultra-fine grains in Ti-6Al-4V alloy welds through pre-weld friction stir processing

Titanium Ti-6Al-4V alloy, recognized for its exceptional strength, is extensively employed in the aerospace, biomedical, and automotive industries. Friction Stir Processing (FSP) has been found to enhance the overall performance, while friction stir welding (FSW) is recognized as the most effective technique for joining the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. This study focusses on the implementation of friction stir welding on a Ti-6Al-4V alloy that had previously undergone friction stir processing. The objective was to analyse the microstructure and mechanical characteristics. The examination using Electron Backscatter Diffraction revealed notable alterations in the microstructure, such as variations in grain size, misorientation angle, and grain boundaries. The proportion of high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) on the advancing side and stir zone of the friction stir treated Ti-6Al-4V were 59 % and 66 %, respectively. Signifying grain refinement, grains measuring sizes between 0.83 μm and 1.05 μm were achieved as result of processing. Subsequent, friction stir welding resulted in about 50 % further decrease in grain size compared to base metal, with HAGBs comprising 71 % and 52 % at the advancing side and stir zone, respectively. As a result the Vickers micro hardness values increased to 397 ± 13Hv upon friction stir processing to 444 ±7Hv upon subsequent friction stir welding respectively.

Longline and mesocosm cultivation of serrated wrack Fucus serratus (Phaeophyceae)

ABSTRACT Seaweed aquaculture is becoming increasingly important as the global seaweed market is set to exceed £20 billion by 2030, leaving natural populations at risk of overexploitation. Fucoids, such as Fucus serratus, are intertidal seaweeds hand-harvested for their use in agricultural, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries. Despite many aspects of the biology of fucoids being well researched, there have been very few studies on their aquaculture. In this study, we grew F. serratus biomass from gamete life stages in the Queen’s University Marine Laboratory for 8 months and monitored their growth, amino acid and phenolic contents in a subtidal field trial. Gametes of F. serratus were successfully fertilized in vitro and attached to substrata: Tiles (mesocosm) and Dyneema Twine (subtidal). The growth of F. serratus on each substrate was monitored for 6 months in the laboratory facility with juveniles reaching 2–4 mm in length. The juveniles on twine were then deployed at the Strangford Lough test site and growth was compared against the juveniles on tiles after an additional two months. Prior to field deployment, individuals grown on tiles were significantly longer (~17%) than those on twine growing to ~3 cm, however, after the two-month deployment, the twine thalli grew significantly longer than those on the tiles (~33%) reaching ~6 cm in length. Subtidal F. serratus grown on twine had significantly higher amino acid content, whereas the phenolic content was significantly lower (~62 mg PGE g−1) than seaweed grown on the tiles (~128 mgPGE g−1). Growing F. serratus successfully in subtidal areas is highly important for providing sustainably sourced biomass to reduce reliance on wild harvesting. Further, cultivating in the subtidal zone will help to avoid competition for space from other aquaculture industries operating in the intertidal zone.

Understanding the mechanisms behind the antibacterial activity of magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles against sulfate-reducing bacteria in sediments

Nanomaterials, with their small size, surface characteristics, and antibacterial properties, are extensively employed across environmental, energy, biomedical, agricultural, and other industries. This study examined the antibacterial efficacy of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) nanoparticles (NPs) against sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) within sediments. The inhibitory effects of two types of Mg(OH)2 NPs with distinct particle sizes (20.3 and 29.6 nm) and concentrations (0–10.0 mg/mL) were examined under optimal treatment conditions. The antibacterial mechanisms of Mg(OH)2 NPs through direct contact and dissolution effects were determined. The results revealed a correlation between the concentration, particle size, and inhibitory activity, with the smallest NPs (20.3 nm) at the highest concentration (10.0 mg/mL) substantially reducing SRB counts from 8.77 ± 0.18 to 6.48 ± 0.13 log10 colony forming units/mL after 6 h treatment. Treatment with high concentrations of Mg(OH)2 NPs induced cellular damage, reduced intracellular lactate dehydrogenase activity, and elevated intracellular catalase activity and H2O2 content, suggesting that the contact effect of NPs stimulated SRB. This leads to oxidative stress response and structural damage to the cell membrane, which has emerged as the primary driver of the antibacterial action of Mg(OH)2 NPs. This study presents a novel nanomaterial that can inhibit and control SRB in natural sedimentary environments.

Organic acid-fractionated lignin silver nanoparticles: Antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant characteristics

Bioactive substances are utilized to treat a variety of diseases. Green lignin-mediated silver nanoparticles (L-Ag-NPs) have significant promise as a building block in the production of bio-renovation materials. The work optimized organic acid extraction to remove lignin from residual fermented hybrid Napier grass byproducts. We subsequently produced L-Ag-NPs. FTIR, XRD, DLS, and STEM characterized the sample. L-Ag-NPs were tested for antioxidant activity with the DPPH, DMPD, FRAP, and ABTS assays, as well as antibacterial activities. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated using four pathogenic bacteria (Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli). In contrast, cytotoxicity and ROS production assays were carried out using the HeLa cell line. The findings showed that L-Ag-NPs had high antioxidant efficiency. For each bacteria isolate, the antimicrobial activity showed favorable growth inhibition, with significant variations in L-Ag-NPs. L-Ag-NPs were reported to have an IC50 of 43.61 g/mL in the cytotoxicity test, and a significant increase in ROS generation was seen. In conclusion, L-Ag NPs have an excellent prospect in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries and can be a dependable and environmentally safe material for their potential use.
