It is noteworthy that with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria like methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus, alternate therapeutic strategies are needed to combat implant-related infection. Ma et al. used antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to achieve their local release from TNTs and observed ~...
In Section 2.2, we calculated that the quantity of water needed for full hydrolysis was 4.56 wt%, above that of formulation 2. Knowing that formulation 2b uses a slightly greater content of TEOS, this threshold of full hydrolysis corresponds to 6.79 wt% of water, which is also ...
After 2 h in these conditions, around 1 mm soluble peptides, obtained from the GAVLPSAA polymerisation, were added. The reaction was then left for 120 h and was periodically analysed after 4, 24 and 120 h using LC-MS (experiment A1, Figure 5a and Figure S17–S19). In addition to ...
In addition, the energetic electrons with high energy supplied from plasma can produce high concentrations of reactive species or free radicals from precursors [32,33,34]. This method not only has the degree of freedom for material selectivity without insolubility problems, but also reduces or ...
All replicates of the Ac2 group had a longer Tig than either the control or Ac1 group; however, the measured Tig for the Ac1 group fell between the highest and lowest Tig measured for control specimens. While further testing is needed to determine the statistical significance between these ...
In civil engineering, both rapid setting and delayed setting are needed for various application scenarios. In order to regulate the setting time of concrete, the iron ore tailings-blast furnace slag (IOT-BFS)-based geopolymers were synthesized with a broad range of setting time and a high compr...
Current limitations of these state-of-the-art approaches include the high demand for measurement data needed to calibrate the models, with a particular focus on transient cycles. Consequently, the accuracy of the simulation framework is penalized by the limited amount of available data, especially at...
