Abstract
The rational design of interface materials containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and zeolites (zeolite-CNTs) is a promising perspective in chemical and biochemical communities because they exhibit several outstanding properties such as tunable hydrophobicity-hydrophilicity at interfaces. In this contribution, we report the fabrication of Ag-incorporated nanocrystalline BEA-carbon nanotube (CNT) composites via the one-pot inter-zeolite transformation of the micron-sized FAU-CNT composite in the presence of a Ag precursor. By varying the crystallization time, the inter-zeolite transformation mechanism was explored. Indeed, this process involves an amorphous intermediate of aluminosilicate species with a significant change of the crystal morphology in the presence of CNTs in the synthesis gel. Interestingly, the redispersion of metal particles was observed after the inter-zeolite transformation process, resulting in the high dispersion of metal nanoparticles over BEA nanocrystals. Notably, it was revealed that the Ag sites were also stabilized in the presence of CNT interfaces, leading to the availability of highly active Ag+ ions. To illustrate the beneficial aspect of designer materials, the synthesized Ag-incorporated BEA-CNT composites exhibited high antibacterial activity againstEscherichia coli due to the synergistic effect of the active Ag+ species and appropriate hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of the hybrid material interfaces. This first example opens up perspectives of the rational design of zeolite-CNT interfaces with high metal dispersion via the inter-zeolite transformation approach for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Recently, antimicrobial activities of various carbon-based nanomaterials against specific pathogens have become one of the most significant research interests in this field. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising multidisciplinary nanostructures in biomedicine, drug delivery, genetic engineering, biosensors, and artificial implants. However, the biomedical administration of CNTs is dependent on their solubility, toxicity, and biocompatibility, as well as novel drug-delivery applications through optimization of the drug's loading capacity, cellular absorption, and continuous release within the target cell. The usage of CNTs and Graphene materials as antimicrobial agents and nanocarriers for antibiotics delivery would possibly improve their bioavailability and facilitate better anti-infective therapy. However, it is worth mentioning that CNTs' antimicrobial activity and toxicity are highly dependent on their preparation and synthesis method. Various types of research have confirmed that diameter, length, residual catalyst, metal content, surface coating, electronic structure, and dispersibility would affect CNTs' toxicity toward bacteria and human cells. In this review article, a general study was performed on the antimicrobial properties of carbon-based nanomaterials, as well as their toxicity and applications in confronting different microorganisms. This study could be useful for researchers who are looking for new and effective drug delivery methods in the field of microbial resistance.

Abstract
Implant-associated infection (IAI) is increasingly emerging as a serious threat with the massive application of biomaterials. Bacteria attached to the surface of implants are often difficult to remove and exhibit high resistance to bactericides. In the quest for novel antimicrobial strategies, conventional antimicrobial materials often fail to exert their function because they tend to focus on direct bactericidal activity while neglecting the modulation of immune systems. The inflammatory response induced by host immune cells was thought to be a detrimental force impeding wound healing. However, the immune system has recently received increasing attention as a vital player in the host's defense against infection. Anti-infective strategies based on the modulation of host immune defenses are emerging as a field of interest. This review explains the importance of the immune system in combating infections and describes current advanced immune-enhanced anti-infection strategies. First, the characteristics of traditional/conventional implant biomaterials and the reasons for the difficulty of bacterial clearance in IAI were reviewed. Second, the importance of immune cells in the battle against bacteria is elucidated. Then, we discuss how to design biomaterials that activate the defense function of immune cells to enhance the antimicrobial potential. Based on the key premise of restoring proper host-protective immunity, varying advanced immune-enhanced antimicrobial strategies were discussed. Finally, current issues and perspectives in this field were offered. This review will provide scientific guidance to enhance the development of advanced anti-infective biomaterials.

Abstract
Weak interfacial strength restricts the mechanical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced composites. Here, inspired by natural hook-groove microstructure system (HGMS) of black kite (Milvus migrans), we detail the steps to construct a biomimetic HGMS based on dopamine-functionalized carbon fibers (CFs) and zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) using a two-step modification approach. We describe the fabrication of biomimetic carbon fiber composites using vacuum-assisted contact molding (VACM) and subsequent characterization using standard comprehensive mechanical tests techniques. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wang et al. (2022).

Abstract
![]()
Implant-associated infections arising from biofilm development
are known to have detrimental effects with compromised quality of
life for the patients, implying a progressing issue in healthcare.
It has been a struggle for more than 50 years for the biomaterials
field to achieve long-term success of medical implants by discouraging
bacterial and protein adhesion without adversely affecting the surrounding
tissue and cell functions. However, the rate of infections associated
with medical devices is continuously escalating because of the intricate
nature of bacterial biofilms, antibiotic resistance, and the lack
of ability of monofunctional antibacterial materials to prevent the
colonization of bacteria on the device surface. For this reason, many
current strategies are focused on the development of novel antibacterial
surfaces with dual antimicrobial functionality. These surfaces are
based on the combination of two components into one system that can
eradicate attached bacteria (antibiotics, peptides, nitric oxide,
ammonium salts, light, etc.) and also resist or release
adhesion of bacteria (hydrophilic polymers, zwitterionic, antiadhesive,
topography, bioinspired surfaces, etc.). This review
aims to outline the progress made in the field of biomedical engineering
and biomaterials for the development of multifunctional antibacterial
biomedical devices. Additionally, principles for material design and
fabrication are highlighted using characteristic examples, with a
special focus on combinational nitric oxide-releasing biomedical interfaces.
A brief perspective on future research directions for engineering
of dual-function antibacterial surfaces is also presented.

Abstract
Harmful microorganism (e.g., new coronavirus) based infection is the most important security concern in life sciences and healthcare. This article aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the development of advanced technology based on nanomaterial disinfection/sterilization techniques (NDST) for the first time including the nanomaterial types, disinfection techniques, bactericidal devices, sterilization products, and application scenarios (i.e., water, air, medical healthcare), with particular brief account of bactericidal behaviors referring to varied systems. In this emerging research area spanning the years from 1998 to 2021, total of ~200 publications selected for the type of review paper and research articles were reviewed. Four typical functional materials (namely type of metal/metal oxides, S-based, C-based, and N-based) with their development progresses in disinfection/sterilization are summarized with a list of synthesis and design. Among them, the widely used silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are considered as the most effective bacterial agents in the type of nanomaterials at present and has been reported for inactivation of viruses, fungi, protozoa. Some methodologies against (1) disinfection by-products (DBPs) in traditional sterilization, (2) noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) agglomeration and release, (3) toxic metal leaching, (4) solar spectral response broadening, and (5) photogenerated e-/h+ pairs recombination are reviewed and discussed in this field, namely (1) alternative techniques and nanomaterials, (2) supporter anchoring effect, (3) nonmetal functional nanomaterials, (4) element doping, and (5) heterojunction constructing. The feasible strategies in the perspective of NDST are proposed to involve (1) non-noble metal disinfectors, (2) multi-functional nanomaterials, (3) multi-component nanocomposite innovation, and (4) hybrid techniques for disinfection/sterilization system. It is promising to achieve 100% bactericidal efficiency for 108 CFU/mL within a short time of less than 30 min.

Abstract
Weak interfacial activity and poor wettability between fiber and matrix are known to be the two main factors that restrict the mechanical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFRCs). Herein, inspired by high strength and toughness characteristics of wing feathers of Black Kite (Milvus migrans), natural hook-groove microstructure system (HGMS) and underlying mechanical interlocking mechanism were carefully investigated. Biomimetic HGMS based on dopamine-functionalized carbon fibers and ZnO nanorods were constructed successfully by a two-step modification method to enhance interfacial adhesion. Further, CFRCs featured with biomimetic HGMS were prepared by a vacuum-assisted contact molding method. Experimental results confirmed that flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength of the bioinspired CFRCs were effectively improved by 40.02 and 101.63%, respectively. The proposed bioinspired design strategy was proved to be flexible and effective and it was anticipated to provide a promising design approach and facile fabrication method for desirable CFRCs with excellent mechanical properties. Natural HGMS and mechanical interlocking mechanism were carefully investigated Biomimetic HGMS based on functionalized CFs and ZnO NRs was constructed Mechanical performance of the bioinspired CFRCs was enhanced significantly The interface adhesion between the CFs and EP was proved to be enhanced

Abstract
Water electrolysis is considered to be one of the most promising technologies to produce clean fuels. However, its extensive realization critically depends on the progress in cost-effective and high-powered oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. As a member of the big family of two-dimensional (2D) materials, nanostructured layered double hydroxides (nLDHs) have made significant processes and continuous breakthroughs for OER electrocatalysis. In this Review, the advancements in designing nLDHs for OER in recent years were discussed with a unique focus on their electronic modulations and in situ analysis on catalytic processes. After a brief discussion on different synthetic methodologies of nLDHs, including "bottom-up" and "top-down" approaches, the general strategies to enhance the catalytic performances of nLDHs reported so far were summarized, including compositional substitution, heteroatom doping, vacancy engineering, and amorphous/crystalline engineering. Furthermore, the in situ OER processes and mechanism analysis on engineering efficient nLDHs electrocatalysts were discussed. Finally, the research trends, perspectives, and challenges on designing nLDHs were also carefully outlined. This progress Review may offer enlightening experimental/theoretical guidance for designing highly catalytic active nLDHs and provide new directions to promote their future prosperity for practical utilization in water splitting.

Abstract
As the world human population and industrialization keep growing, the water availability issue has forced scientists, engineers, and legislators of water supply industries to better manage water resources. Pollutant removals from wastewaters are crucial to ensure qualities of available water resources (including natural water bodies or reclaimed waters). Diverse techniques have been developed to deal with water quality concerns. Carbon based nanomaterials, especially carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with their high specific surface area and associated adsorption sites, have drawn a special focus in environmental applications, especially water and wastewater treatment. This critical review summarizes recent developments and adsorption behaviors of CNTs used to remove organics or heavy metal ions from contaminated waters via adsorption and inactivation of biological species associated with CNTs. Foci include CNTs synthesis, purification, and surface modifications or functionalization, followed by their characterization methods and the effect of water chemistry on adsorption capacities and removal mechanisms. Functionalized CNTs have been proven to be promising nanomaterials for the decontamination of waters due to their high adsorption capacity. However, most of the functional CNT applications are limited to lab-scale experiments only. Feasibility of their large-scale/industrial applications with cost-effective ways of synthesis and assessments of their toxicity with better simulating adsorption mechanisms still need to be studied.

Abstract
Although high-performance carbon materials are widely used in surface engineering, with emphasis on carbon nanotubes (CNTs), the application of CNT nanocomposites on medical surfaces is poorly documented. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and anti-adhesive properties of CNT-based surfaces. For this purpose, a PRISMA-oriented systematic review was conducted based on predefined criteria and 59 studies were selected for the qualitative analysis. Results from the analyzed studies suggest that surfaces containing modified CNTs, and specially CNTs conjugated with different polymers, exhibited strong antimicrobial and anti-adhesive activities. These composites seem to preserve the CNT toxicity to microorganisms and promote CNT-cell interactions, as well as to protect them from nonspecific protein adsorption. However, CNTs cannot yet compete with the conventional strategies to fight biofilms as their toxicity profile on the human body has not been thoroughly addressed. This review can be helpful for the development of new engineered medical surfaces.

Abstract
Collagen membranes have been used as bioresorbable barrier membranes in guided tissue/bone regeneration. However, the collagen membranes currently used in clinics lack an active antibacterial function, although infection at surgical sites presents a realistic challenge for guided tissue/bone regeneration. In this study, we successfully prepared novel and advanced collagen composite membranes from collagen and complexes of heparin and chelates of minocycline and Ca2+ ions. These membranes were characterized for chemical structures, morphology, elemental compositions and tensile strength. In vitro release studies were conducted to evaluate the release kinetics of minocycline from these membranes. Agar disk diffusion assays were used to assess their sustained antibacterial capability against model pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. The chemical and physical characterization confirmed the successful synthesis of minocycline-loaded collagen composite membranes, namely NCCM-1 and NCCM-2. Both membranes had weaker tensile strength as compared with commercial collagen membranes. They achieved sustained release of minocycline for at least 4 weeks in simulated body fluid (pH 7.4) at 37°C. Moreover, both membranes demonstrated potent sustained antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus. These results suggested that the advanced collagen composite membranes containing minocycline can be exploited as novel guided tissue regeneration membranes or wound dressing by providing additional antibacterial functions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a complicated issue, especially when treating infectious immunodeficiency related diseases. In recent years, when compared to bulk materials, nanomaterials (NMs) with specific antibacterial activities have played a novel role in treating bacterial infections. Among NMs, quantum dots (QDs), specifically carbon containing QDs including graphene oxide QD (GOQD), graphene QD (GQD), and carbon QD (CQD), have demonstrated bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities via photodynamic (PD) effects against antibiotic resistant bacteria under a certain wavelength of light. AREA COVERED In this mini-review, recent advances and challenges related to antibacterial and biocompatibility activities of modified GQD, GOQD, CQD, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are discussed. EXPERT OPINION Lower stability and biocompatibility of QDs at higher doses in physiological conditions are major disadvantages. In this regard, functionalization of these QDs can result in appropriate bactericidal, biocompatibility, and biodegradability properties. In the case of CNTs including single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNTs), aspect ratio (AR) is a determinant factor for the antibacterial value. Moreover, MWCNTs show a lower antibacterial ability compared to SWCNTs, which can be improved by modifying their surface.

Abstract
An antibacterial coating with stable antibacterial properties and favorable biocompatibility is recognized as an effective method to prevent bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on biomedical implant surfaces. In this study, a convenient and low-cost printing-spray-transfer process was proposed that enables reliably attaching antibacterial and biocompatible coatings to patient-specific silicone implant surfaces. A desktop three-dimensional printer was used to print the mold of silicone implant molds according to the characteristics of the diseased areas. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) uniformly decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs/CNTs) were synthesized as the antibacterial materials for the spray process. The well-distributed AgNPs/CNT coating was anchored to the silicone surface through an in-mold transfer printing process. Stable adhesion of the coatings was assessed via tape testing and UV-vis spectra. Hardly any AgNPs/CNTs peeled off the substrate, and the adhesion was rated at 4B. Antibacterial activity, Ag release, cell viability and morphology were further assessed, revealing high antibacterial activity and great biocompatibility. The process proposed herein has potential applications for fabricating stable antibacterial coatings on silicone implant surfaces, especially for patient-specific silicone implants such as silicone tracheal stents.

Abstract
In recent years, the biomimetic superhydrophobic coatings have received tremendous attention, owing to their potential in fabricating self-cleaning surfaces, in environmental applications. Consequently, extensive research has been devoted to create a superhydrophobic surface using the oxidized derivatives of CNTs and graphene. Thus, the design and development of a self-cleaning/superhydrophobic surface with good biocompatibility are an effective approach to deal with the bacterial infections related to biomedical devices used in hospitals. In this context, herein, we have developed the material based on ionic liquid (IL)-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for hydrophobic coatings, which was fully characterized with various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared, powder X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. We have evaluated the synthesized ILs for their antibacterial potential against the pathogenic bacterial strains such as Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacterial strains. Further, atomic force and scanning electron microscopic studies have been performed to investigate the morphological changes to unravel the mechanism of action, whereas DNA binding study indicates the binding of IL-1d@MWCNT with DNA (Ka = 2.390 × 104 M-1). Furthermore, the developed material (IL-1d@MWCNT) is coated onto the surface of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and evaluated for hydrophobicity through water contact angle measurements and possesses long-term antibacterial efficiency against both under-investigating pathogenic strains. For the biocompatibility assay, the obtained coated PVC material has also been evaluated for its cytotoxicity, and results reveal no toxicity against viable cells. These all results are taken together, indicating that by coating with the developed material IL-1d@MWCNT, a robust self-sterilizing surface has achieved, which helps in maintaining a bacteria-free surface.

Abstract
2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) is a widely used high-energy explosive for the application of energetic materials. However, the phase transformation from ε-CL-20 to γ-CL-20 restrains its further application in polymer bonded explosives (PBXs) and propellants. To inhibit the phase transition of CL-20, dopamine was first used in an efficient and facile method of in situ polymerization to passivate CL-20 crystals. The core-shell microcapsule particles were obtained, and the morphological characterization demonstrates the formation of a dense core-shell structure. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) test results show that the compact and dense coating delays the ε-CL-20 crystal transformation temperature by about 30 °C, which enhances thermal stability. In addition, with the coating via polymers, the friction sensitivity of ε-CL-20 crystals decreases significantly. The findings indicate a successful application of dopamine chemistry in high-energy explosives, which provides an attractive method to modify the properties of CL-20 crystals.

Abstract
Silver particles were prepared by dewetting Ag films coated on glass using a fiber laser. The size of the particles was controlled in the range of 92 nm–1.2 μm by adjusting the thickness of the Ag film. The structural properties and surface roughness of the particles were evaluated by means of scanning electron microscopy. In addition, the antifungal activity of the Ag particles was examined using spore suspensions of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. It is shown that particles with a size of 1.2 μm achieved 100% inhibition of conidia growth of C. gloeosporioides after a contact time of just 5 min. Furthermore, the smaller particles also achieved good antifungal activity given a longer contact time. Similar results were observed for spore germination and pathogenicity tests performed on mango fruit and leaves. Overall, the results confirm that Ag particles have an excellent antifungal effect on C. gloeosporioides.

Abstract
The ever-growing threats of multidrug-resistant bacterial infection and chronic wound healing have created an imperative need for the development of novel antibacterial materials and therapeutic strategies, especially for diabetic patients infected with multidrug-resistant bacteria. In this work, the nanocomplexes named as PB@PDA@Ag were used for eradicating multidrug-resistant bacteria and accelerating wound healing of MRSA-infected diabetic model with the assistance of laser irradiation. In vitro results revealed that the combinational strategy exerted a synergistic effect for anti-MRSA through disrupting cell integrity, producing ROS, declining ATP, and oxidizing GSH, comparing with PB@PDA@Ag or NIR laser irradiation alone. Moreover, in vivo assay demonstrated that this system effectively accelerated MRSA-infected diabetic wound healing by mitigating local inflammatory response and up-regulating VEGF expression on the wound bed. Meanwhile, satisfactory biocompatibility and negligible damage to major organs were observed. Altogether, the aforementioned results indicate that the combinational therapy of PB@PDA@Ag and NIR irradiation shows a great potential application in the field of clinic infection.

Abstract
A series of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based imidazolium-type ionic liquids (ILs) were designed and synthesized for bacterial killing and imaging, cell labeling, and bacterial detection in blood cells. The AIE-based ILs showed antibacterial activities against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The carbon chain length of substitution at the N3 position of the imidazolium cations highly affects the antibacterial properties of ILs. Owing to their AIE characteristics, the ILs could selectively capture fluorescence image of dead bacteria while killing the bacteria. The fluorescence intensity varied with the concentration of bacteria, indicating that AIE-based ILs has potential as an antibacterial material and an efficient probe for bacterial viability assay. In addition, the synthesized AIE-based ILs exhibit relatively low cytotoxicity and hemolysis rate and therefore potential for cell labeling, as well as bacterial detection in blood cells. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Bacteria are ubiquitous, especially the pathogenic bacteria, which pose a serious threat to human health. There is an urgent need for materials with efficient antibacterial properties and biocompatibility and without causing drug resistance. In this work, we synthesized a series of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-doped imidazolium type ionic liquids (ILs) with multifunction potential of bacterial killing and imaging, cell labeling, and detection of bacteria from blood cells. The synthesized AIE-based ILs can image dead bacteria at the same time of killing these bacteria, which can avoid the fluorescent dyeing process. Simultaneously, the fluorescent imaging of dead bacteria can be distinguished by the naked eye, and the fluorescence intensity from the AIE-based ILs varied with the concentration of bacteria. In addition, the AIE-based ILs exhibit relatively low cytotoxicity and hemolysis rate and therefore potential for cell labeling as well as detection of bacteria from red blood cell suspension.

Abstract
Water disinfection practices are critical for supplying safe drinking water. Existing water disinfection methods come with various drawbacks, calling for alternative or complementary solutions. Nanocarbon materials (NCMs) offer unique advantages for water disinfection owing to their high antimicrobial activity, often low environmental/human toxicity, and tunable physicochemical properties. Nevertheless, it is a challenge to assess the research progress made so far due to the structure and property diversity in NCMs as well as their different targeted applications. Because of these, here we provide a broad outline of this emerging field in three parts. First, we introduce the antimicrobial activities of the different types of NCMs, including fullerenes, nanodiamonds, carbon (nano)dots, carbon nanotubes, and graphene-family materials. Next, we discuss the current status in applying these NCMs for different water disinfection problems, especially as hydrogel filters, filtration membranes, recyclable aggregates, and electrochemical devices. We also introduce the use of NCMs in photocatalysts for photocatalytic water disinfection. Lastly, we put forward the key hurdles of the field that hamper the realization of the practical applications and propose possible directions for future investigations to address those. We hope that this minireview will encourage researchers to tackle these challenges and innovate NCM-based water disinfection platforms in the near future.

Enhanced Antibacterial Activity of Poly (dimethylsiloxane) Membranes by Incorporating SiO 2 Microspheres Generated Silver Nanoparticles. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9050705.

Abstract
The nonspecific adsorption of proteins and bacteria on the surface of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) had been a serious concern in a wide range of applications, such as medical devices. In order to improve the anti-adhesive and antibacterial capability, bare silver nanoparticles (AgNPs, ~15 nm) were generated in-situ on their surface without extra reducing and stabilizing agents. The main reason for this was that the SiO2 microspheres that are covalent bonded to the bulked PDMS could not only generate AgNPs spontaneously but also insure that no AgNPs were released to the environment. Meanwhile, the thiol-group-functionalized SiO2 microspheres self-assembled on the surface of PDMS by thiol-vinyl click reaction without any impact on their biomedical applications. After the modification of SiO2 microspheres with AgNPs, the surface of PDMS showed a smaller water contact angle than before, and the adhesion and growth of E. coli and Bacillus subtilis were effectively inhibited. When the monolayer of SiO2 microspheres with AgNPs was assembled completely on the surface of PDMS, they present improved bacterial resistance performance (living bacteria, 0%). This approach offers an antibacterial and anti-adhesive surface bearing small and well-defined quantities of in-situ generated AgNPs, and it is a novel, green, simple, and low-cost technique to generate AgNPs on soft biomedical substrates.

Abstract
The solid⁻solid phase transition, poor mechanical properties, and high sensitivity has impeded further practical applications of 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane (HMX) based polymer bonded explosives (PBXs). To address these issues together, a facile and effective route was employed to achieve a coating of polydopamine (PDA) on the surface of explosive crystals via in situ polymerization of dopamine. Additionally, PBXs based on HMX@PDA microcapsules were prepared with a fluoropolymer as polymer binder. Improved storage modulus, static mechanical strength and toughness, and creep resistance has been achieved in as-prepared PDA modified PBXs. The β-δ phase transition temperature of as-obtained PBXs based on conventional HMX (C-HMX)@PDA was improved by 16.3 °C. The friction sensitivity of the C-HMX based PBXs showed a dramatic drop after the PDA coating. A favorable balance proposed in this paper among thermal stability, mechanical properties, and sensitivity was achieved for C-HMX based PBXs with the incorporation of PDA.

Abstract
Multifunctional materials, which can effectively and simultaneously remove various water-soluble contaminants like dyes and heavy metal ions, and separate oil from water, are urgent to meet increasing challenges on wastewater remediation. Herein, a cross-linked poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) modified poly (ether sulfone) nanofibrous membrane (NFM) was fabricated by a facile in-situ pre-reaction followed by electrospinning. The as-prepared NFM showed excellent hydrophilicity and underwater lipophobicity, therefore expressed excellent water permeability with high water flux (about 5142 L m2 h-1). As a result, under solely driven by gravity, the NFM was capable to separate emulsified oil/water emulsion and a wide range of oil/water mixtures. Moreover, repeating separation tests indicated that the NFM had great long-term sustainability even after ten separation cycles. In addition, due to the introduction of PAA and the large surface-to-volume ratio, the NFM also expressed rapid adsorption capacity for cationic dyes as well as heavy metal ions; thus could simultaneously remove these contaminants during the oil/water separation process. Furthermore, the NFM could be also decorated by Ag NPs to endow the membranes with remarkable antibacterial ability against both E. coli and S. aureus. Our findings strongly suggested that the multifunctional NFM may have great potential in treating complicated wastewater.

Abstract
Developing novel antibacterial agents to combat bacterial infection has been an everlasting task for scientists, due to the drug resistance evolved by bacteria during antibiotic treatment. In this work, we used polydopamine (PDA) to modify MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2 NSs) and then grew silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on their surface to form MoS2@PDA-Ag nanosheets (MPA NSs) as multimodal antibacterial nanoagents to treat Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) biofilms and S. aureus infected wounds. In vitro results show that treatment with MPA NSs under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation can efficiently eradicate the established S. aureus biofilms with 99.99% of the bacteria inside biofilms killed, which shows significantly enhanced therapeutic efficacy compared with the MPA only group or the NIR laser irradiation only group. Remarkably, MPA NSs were also successfully used to treat S. aureus infected wounds in mice under NIR laser irradiation. In vivo experiments demonstrate that about 99% of bacteria in wounds were killed and the healing of the infected wounds was promoted. Overall, this work demonstrates that MPA NSs with enhanced antibacterial activity are promising nanoagents to treat S. aureus biofilms and S. aureus infected wounds.

Abstract
Heparin, a highly sulfated linear polysaccharide, with anticoagulation function and blood compatibility is widely used as a biomaterials in medical application, but the most importance of heparin is its structure function as the macromolecular space arm. In this study, heparin as a spacer was covalently immobilized on the chloromethylated polystyrene microspheres (Ps) and then connected with l-phenylalanine forming the Ps-Hep-Phe structure, which was developed for endotoxin adsorption in hemoperfusion. The grafting density of heparin reach the maximum when the initial concentration of heparin solution was 5 mg/mL. The adsorbents with the heparin as a spacer showed the prolonged clotting times, low protein adsorption, and reduced the hemolysis rate, indicating that heparin-modified adsorbents have great blood compatibility. The adsorption capacity of Ps-Hep-Phe for endotoxin was 25.15 EU/g in dynamic adsorption, higher than that of Ps. Therefore, this study imply that heparin would be promising for modification of adsorbents in hemoperfusion.

Abstract
BN/Ag hybrid nanomaterials (HNMs) and their possible applications as novel active catalysts and antibacterial agents are investigated. BN/Ag nanoparticle (NP) hybrids were fabricated using two methods: (i) chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of BN NPs in the presence of Ag vapours, and (ii) ultraviolet (UV) decomposition of AgNO3 in a suspension of BN NPs. The hybrid microstructures were studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), high-angular dark field scanning TEM imaging paired with energy dispersion X-ray (EDX) mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). They were also characterized in terms of thermal stability, Ag+ ion release, catalytic and antibacterial activities. The materials synthesized via UV decomposition of AgNO3 demonstrated a much better catalytic activity in comparison to those prepared using the CVD method. The best catalytic characteristics (100% methanol conversion at 350 °C) were achieved using the UV BN/Ag HNMs without preliminary annealing at 600 °C in an oxidizing atmosphere. Both types of the BN/Ag HNMs possess a profound antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli K-261 bacteria.
