Curcumin-loaded high internal phase emulsions stabilized with lysine modified lignin: a biological agent with high photothermal protection and antibacterial properties

Abstract

Bacterial infection and multidrug resistance seriously endanger people’s lives and health, so it is urgent to develop novel and efficient antibacterial strategies and drugs. Herein, a series of highly biocompatible...

Mo-Doped/Ni-supported ZnIn2S4-wrapped NiMoO4 S-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic reforming of lignin into hydrogen

“…As one of the three major components of lignocellulose, lignin has many reducing groups, possessing a prerequisite for photocatalytic HER. 13,14 At the same time, lignin is also the main component of paper industry wastewater, and its large amount of discharge causes serious environmental pollution. 15 Thus, photocatalytic reforming of lignin to hydrogen evolution effectively alleviates both these energy and environmental problems.…”

Biomacromolecular Characterizations Using State-of-the-Art Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation

“…Surface functionalization with polysaccharides by adsorptive interaction could introduce new properties onto surfaces for biosensor fabrication. Thin films of cellulose derivatives are widely used for the adsorptive immobilization of biomatter, such as vitamins, xyloglucan, cellulases, fungal cellulases, expansin, bacteria, to name a few, due to the presence of sticky and reactive hydroxyl groups. − QCM-D plays a critical role in addressing the challenges in certain biological events through the studying of these substrate binding processes. Jaafar et al investigated the organization of xylan-cellulose complexes using QCM-D.…”

The Recovery of Lignin from Reed Using Solid-DES Extraction (SDESE)

“…Lignin has gained interest due to its particular advantage as a source available for biorefineries, but also in other fields of application, such as the pharmaceutical industry [3] and biocomposite production as a char agent [4], and other applications [5] that make lignin an invaluable product for recovery and valorization. Its biopolymer structure allows for numerous structural rearrangements depending on the applied treatments.…”
