The chiral selectivities were altered and high diastereo- and enantio-selectivities of the products were obtained in water medium without adding acid co-catalysts when a primary–tertiary diamine catalyst was immobilized on mesoporous SBA-15 to form a recyclable catalyst for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction of cyclohexanone with p-nitrobenzaldehyde.

Abstract In this work, a novel antibacterial nanocomposite system was developed using mesoporous silica (MSN) as an effective nanocarrier, and the resultant nanocomposites demonstrated remarkable antibacterial performance due to the synergistic effect among nano zinc oxides, silver nanoparticles, and polydopamine (PDA). The successful synthesis of MSN/ZnO@PDA/Ag nanocomposites was confirmed. The physicochemical properties and the morphologies of these nanocomposites were investigated. It was found that the particle size increased along with the evolution of these nanocomposites. Besides, nano zinc oxides were formed in the nanoconfinement channel of mesoporous silica with a particle size about 2 nm, and that of silver nanoparticle was less than 50 nm. In addition, the results revealed that the presence of mesoporous silica could effectively prevent the formation of large-size silver nanoparticles and facilitate their well dispersion. Due to the synergistic effect among nano zinc oxides, silver nanoparticles, and polydopamine, these nanocomposites exhibited remarkable antibacterial performance even at a low concentration of 313 ppm, and the antibacterial mechanism was also elucidated. Therefore, this work provides a facile and controllable approach to preparing synergistically antibacterial nanocomposites, and the remarkable antibacterial performance make them suitable for practical applications.

The aim of this work was to study the biophysical properties of the chitosan-grafted poly(lactic acid) (CH-g-PLA) nanofibers loaded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and chondroitin-4-sulfate (C4S). The electrospun CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers were manufactured using the electrospinning technique. The microstructure of the CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers was investigated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. ATR-FTIR and 1H-NMR confirm the CH grafting successfully by PLA with a substitution degree of 33.4%. The SEM measurement results indicated apparently smooth nanofibers having a diameter range of 340 ± 18 nm with porosity of 89 ± 3.08% and an average pore area of 0.27 μm2. UV-Vis and XRD suggest that silver nanoparticles with the size distribution of 30 nm were successfully incorporated into the electrospun nanofibers. The water contact angle of 12.8 ± 2.7° reveals the hydrophilic nature of the CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers has been improved by C4S. The electrospun CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers are found to release ions Ag+ at a concentration level capable of rendering an antimicrobial efficacy. Gram-positive bacteria ( S.aureus) were more sensitive to CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S than Gram-negative bacteria ( E. coli). The electrospun CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers exhibited no cytotoxicity to the L-929 fibroblast cells, suggesting cytocompatibility. Fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that C4S promotes the adhesion and proliferation of fibroblast cells onto electrospun CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers.
