Cotton fabric with excellent antibacterial properties was obtained by treated with polyamide-amine (PAMAM) dendrimers as a carrier and silver nitrate as an antibacterial agent. The antibacterial cotton fabrics were prepared by the methods of one-bath process and two-bath process. Antibacterial activity of cotton fabrics treated by two different methods was good, but the antibacterial durability of cotton fabric treated with two-bath process was better than that treated with one-bath process. After 50 washing cycles, cotton fabric treated with two-bath process still had good antibacterial property and its inhibitory rate to Gram-positive S. aureus and Gram-negative E. coli was over 99 %. It was found that the breaking strength retention of finished cotton fabrics was 85.83 % and the decrease of cotton fabrics’ whiteness index was about 15 %.

This study used Ag-embedded nanoTiO2, xylan and water-soluble Chitosan as antibacterial agents, respectively prepared shutter blades through the treating solution of the different concentration and the different drug loading amount of the poplar veneer. Through a single factor experiment, this paper analyzes that the different antibacterial agent, concentration of antibacterial agent and the drug loading amount have an effect on the antibacterial properties of the shutter blades. The results show that the order of antibacterial performance of the shutter blades impregnated antibacterial agents is the Ag-embedded nanoTiO2, Chitosan, Xylan. Comprehensiv-ely thought the antibacterial properties and economic index, the optimal concentration of the Ag-embedded nanoTiO2 impregnation solution is 1%.

Purpose. Manuka honey (MH) is an antibacterial agent specific to the islands of New Zealand containing both hydrogen peroxide and a Unique Manuka Factor (UMF). Although the antibacterial properties of MH have been studied, the effect of varying UMF of MH incorporated into tissue engineered scaffolds have not. Therefore, this study was designed to compare silk fibroin cryogels and electrospun scaffolds incorporated with a 5% MH concentration of various UMF.Methods. Characteristics such as porosity, bacterial clearance and adhesion, and cytotoxicity were compared.Results. Pore diameters for all cryogels were between 51 and 60 µm, while electrospun scaffolds were 10 µm. Cryogels of varying UMF displayed clearance of approximately 0.16 cm forE. coliandS. aureus. In comparison, the electrospun scaffolds clearance ranged between 0.5 and 1 cm. A glucose release of 0.5 mg/mL was observed for the first 24 hours by all scaffolds, regardless of UMF. With respect to cytotoxicity, neither scaffold caused the cell number to drop below 20,000.Conclusions. Overall, when comparing the effects of the various UMF within the two scaffolds, no significant differences were observed. This suggests that the fabricated scaffolds in this study displayed similar bacterial effects regardless of the UMF value.

BMH is a new type of inorganic antibacterial agent. However, there is few study about BMH application in plastic film. So, in this study, BMH/PE films prepared by rolled was investigated in antimicrobial, mechanical and optical properties with different BMH contents. The results showed that the antibacterial properties increased with the BMH content, and the antibacterial films had strong antibacterial function when the adding amount of BMH was equal or greater than 2%. The mechanical properties firstly increased with the BMH content and then rapidly decreased. The optical properties decreased with BMH content. Taking all properties of the film into account in the study, the antimicrobial film contained 1% BMH was best.

Glass ionomer cement (GIC), restorative material in dentistry, are composed of glass powders and polyacrylic acid. GIC can release fluoride that acts as an antibacterial. Various study had been conducted to improve that antibacterial properties, but it can affect the physical and mechanical properties of GIC. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of addition of triclosan antibacterial agent on the setting time of GIC. To obtain 2.5 % triclosan, 0,25 gram of triclosan powder was mixed into 9,75 gram of GIC powder. The sample was divided into 2 groups: control group (n=16) and treatment group (n=16). The setting time was measured using gilmore needle, by penetrating a needle to the surface of specimens with an interval of 10 seconds until the needle left no traces on the surface of specimens. Statistical analysis was done byT-test. The result showed that p value > 0,05. The conclusion is the addition of triclosan antibacterial agent do not affect the setting time of GIC

Background: The promising properties of Zinc Phosphate (ZnP) Nanoparticles (NPs) have made them come into prominence as one of the most favorable catalysts in various industries with ever- increasing applications. Among several proposed synthetic methods, biological methods have mostly been desired for their sheer person-environment compatibility in comparison with those of chemical and physical ones. Objective: Therefore, the synthesis of ZnP NPs via biological route was developed in this study. Method: Herein proposed a facile, applicable procedure for ZnP NPs via biosynthesis route, which included precipitation of Zinc Nitrate (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O) and diammonium hydrogen phosphate ((NH4)2HPO4) in the presence of Enterobacter aerogenes as the synthetic intermediate. Investigation of the anti-corrosion behavior of the synthesized NPs was explored on carbon steel in the hydrochloric acid corrosive environment to provide deeper insight into their unique anti-corrosion properties. Additionally, their antibacterial activities were also examined against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans. Results: The results of X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) and the Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) analyses confirmed the successful synthesis of ZnP NPs. Moreover, the examinations of both anti-corrosion and antibacterial properties, revealed that the synthesized NPs could be a promising anti-corrosion/antibacterial agent. Conclusion: ZnP NPs with an average size of 30-35 nm were successfully synthesized via the simple, suitable biological method. Results implied that these particles could be used as a non-toxic, environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant and antibacterial agent instead of toxic and uneco-friendly ones.

Electrostatic spinning is now recognized as a versatile and easily feasible method for the preparation of micro and nanofibrous materials. Because of their high specific surface area and highly porous structure electrospun materials can find application as wound dressings that provide good draining and good air permeability [. By adding various types of material or chemical modification in electrospun materials, we can prepare a polymer with excellent antibacterial properties of nanomaterials. Copper, an inorganic antibacterial agent, is also called the second silver. The antibacterial research of copper series attracted great concern in recent years. First, the paper introduced the progress and mechanism of electrostatic spinning of native cellulose and Cu (II) ion antimicrobial fibres, and then did a brief presentation of copper ion antibacterial fibers on the bases of electrostatic spinning of native cellulose.
