Tailoring Mesoporous Silica-Coated Silver Nanoparticles and Polyurethane-Doped Films for Enhanced Antimicrobial Applications. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:462. [PMID: 38470791 DOI: 10.3390/nano14050462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
The global increase in multidrug-resistant bacteria poses a challenge to public health and requires the development of new antibacterial materials. In this study, we examined the bactericidal properties of mesoporous silica-coated silver nanoparticles, varying the core sizes (ca. 28 nm and 51 nm). We also investigated gold nanoparticles (ca. 26 nm) coated with mesoporous silica as possible inert metal cores. To investigate the modification of antimicrobial activity after the surface charge change, we used silver nanoparticles with a silver core of 28 nm coated with a mesoporous shell (ca. 16 nm) and functionalized with a terminal amine group. Furthermore, we developed a facile method to create mesoporous silica-coated silver nanoparticles (Ag@mSiO2) doped films using polyurethane (IROGRAN®) as a polymer matrix via solution casting. The antibacterial effects of silver nanoparticles with different core sizes were analyzed against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria relevant to the healthcare and food industry. The results demonstrated that gold nanoparticles were inert, while silver nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial effects against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Choleraesuis) and Gram-positive (Bacillus cereus) strains. In particular, the larger Ag@mSiO2 nanoparticles showed a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and a minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 18 µg/mL in the Salmonella strain. Furthermore, upon terminal amine functionalization, reversing the surface charge to positive values, there was a significant increase in the antibacterial activity of the NPs compared to their negative counterparts. Finally, the antimicrobial properties of the nanoparticle-doped polyurethane films revealed a substantial improvement in antibacterial efficacy. This study provides valuable information on the potential of mesoporous silica-coated silver nanoparticles and their applications in fighting multidrug-resistant bacteria, especially in the healthcare and food industries.

Abstract
The increasing demands of surgical implantation highlight the significance of anti-infection of medical devices, especially antibiofilm contamination on the surface of implants. The biofilms developed by colonized microbes will largely hinder the adhesion of host cells, leading to failure in long-term applications. In this work, UV-responsive multilayers were fabricated by stepwise assembly of poly(pyrenemethyl acrylate- co-acrylic acid) (P(PA- co-AA)) micelles and chitosan on different types of substrates. Under UV irradiation, the cleavage of pyrene ester bonds in the P(PA- co-AA) molecules resulted in the increase of roughness and hydrophilicity of the multilayers. During this process, reactive oxygen species were generated in situ within 10 s, which destroyed the biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus, leading to the degradation of the bacterial matrix. The antibacterial rate was above 99.999%. The UV-irradiated multilayers allowed the attachment and proliferation of fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells, benefiting tissue integration of the implants. When poly(dimethylsiloxane) slices with the multilayers were implanted in vivo and irradiated by UV, the density of bacteria and the inflammatory level (judging from the number of neutrophils) decreased significantly. Moreover, formation of neo blood vessels surrounding the implants was observed after implantation for 7 days. These results reveal that the photoresponsive multilayers endow the implants with multifunctions of simultaneous antibiofilm and tissue integration, shedding light for applications in surface modification of implants in particular for long-term use.

Abstract
Air pollution has become a major environmental concern given the ever increasing levels of particulate matter (PM) and the increased in treatment-resistant bacterial and viral strains. Major efforts are therefore required into the development of air filtration and purification technology as well as novel, alternative antiviral and antibacterial treatment modalities. Here, we report an environmentally friendly method for the generation of multifunctional poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(acrylic acid) (PVA-PAA) composite membranes via green electrospinning and thermal crosslinking. Superhydrophobic silica nanoparticles were then incorporated into the fibers resulting in a rough surface, after which AgNO3 was introduced, resulting in the formation of Ag nanoparticles through UV reduction. The PVA-PAA-SiO2-Ag NPs membranes were found to possess high air filtration performance (with >98% filtration efficiency for PM2.5) as well as potent antibacterial and antiviral activities. The green synthesis approach avoids the use of hazardous organic solvents, thereby bypassing any potential toxicity concerns caused by organic solvent residues. These newly designed PVA-PAA-SiO2 NPs-Ag NPs nanofibrous membranes with many superior features (e.g. high filtration efficiency, high tensile strength, biological compatibility, and antibacterial properties) can be applied in eco-friendly air filtration materials, in particular for personal air filtration devices.
