Preparation of organic-inorganic chitosan@silver/sepiolite composites with high synergistic antibacterial activity and stability

Dual functions of epigallocatechin gallate surface-modified Au nanorods@selenium composites for near-infrared-II light-responsive synergistic antibacterial therapy

“…[1][2][3][4] The development of antibacterial materials has received great attention from scientists, and research on new antibacterial materials plays an important role in the development of methods to treat bacterial infections. 5,6 Au nanorods (Au NRs) have outstanding biocompatibility and unique optical properties, 7 including horizontal and vertical surface plasmon resonance (SPR) double-spectral peaks. The vertical SPR peak position (from the visible region to the near-infrared region) depends on the aspect ratio of the rodshaped particles, and the vertical SPR peak position can be artificially adjusted by seed-mediated method.…”

Recent advances in biobased and biodegradable polymer nanocomposites, nanoparticles, and natural antioxidants for antibacterial and antioxidant food packaging applications

“…In recent years, CS has stood out in the active food packaging industry mainly due to its antimicrobial properties, nontoxic nature, biocompatibility, and biodegradability (Al‐Nabulsi et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2021a; Virgili et al., 2021). CS is a cationic polysaccharide with a high capacity to interact with negatively charged phosphoryl groups in the bacterial cell membrane, causing membrane disturbance and cell death (Chang et al., 2021; Li et al., 2020). Additionally, CS‐based films are excellent barrier materials that prevent oxygen from entering the food, inhibiting respiratory activity and the growth of bacteria in the food (Nouri et al., 2018).…”

“…This review also highlights the synergistic action of inorganic NPs and their hybrids with plant extracts to enhance the functional, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties of biodegradable nanocomposite films (Azizi‐Lalabadi et al., 2020; Babapour et al., 2021; Naeeji et al., 2020a; Vizzini et al., 2020; Zhan et al., 2021). This alternative has been up‐and‐coming for developing more technological packaging in the food industry (Li et al., 2020; Sardar et al., 2021; Shao et al., 2021). Furthermore, recent strategies for green methods of preparation of NPs–based on the use of plant extracts and biomolecules as reducing and complexing agents in nanocomposite films–have shown increased potential for edible, biodegradable, and sustainable packaging (Ceballos et al., 2021; Sougandhi et al., 2021; Suresh et al., 2020).…”

Biomimetic FeCo@PDA nanozyme platform with Fenton catalytic activity as efficient antibacterial agent

“…15,16 In recent years, with the continuous development of science and technology, research on organic substances has been deepening, and it has been found that organic substances with special structures, such as chitosan, liposomes and polymers, can also be used as carriers for loading inorganic antibacterial agents. [17][18][19] And these organics can also strengthen the antibacterial ability of antibacterial agents to varying degrees, which greatly expands the application scope of inorganic antibacterial agents. 20,21 Adhesion proteins secreted by marine mussels in nature can well adhere to the surface of various substrates.…”
