Abstract
The utilization of metal nanoparticles for antibacterial thermoplastic composites has the potential to enhance the safety of human and animal life by mitigating the spread and transmission of foodborne pathogenic bacteria. The dispersion, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of metal nanoparticles directly affect the application performance of the composites. This study focused on achieving amine-carboxyl co-modified copper nanoparticles (Cu-AC) with excellent antioxidant properties and monodispersity through in situ grafting of amine and carboxyl groups onto the surface of copper nanoparticles via ligand interaction. Polyacrylic acid's extended carbon chain structure was utilized to improve its dispersion and antioxidant properties, and its antibacterial properties were synergistically enhanced using secondary amines. It was found that Cu-AC possesses high antibacterial properties, with a minimum inhibition concentration of 0.156 mg mL-1. Antibacterial masterbatches and their composites (polypropylene/Cu) manufactured by melt blending of polypropylene and Cu-AC exhibited excellent antibacterial rates of up to 90% and 99% at 300 ppm and 700 ppm Cu-AC, respectively. Additionally, Cu-AC bolstered the thermal degradation, processing and mechanical properties of polypropylene. The successful implementation of this product substantiates the potential applications of polypropylene/Cu composite materials across diverse industries.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are a common mode of failure for medical implants. This study aims to develop antibacterial polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coatings that contain a plant-derived condensed tannin polymer (Tanfloc, TAN) with inherent antimicrobial activity. Tanfloc is amphoteric, and herein we show that it can be used as either a polyanion or a polycation in PEMs, thereby expanding the possibility of its use in PEM coatings. PEMs are ordinarily formed using a polycation and a polyanion, in which the functional (ionic) groups of the two polymers are complexed to each other. However, using the amphoteric polymer Tanfloc with weakly basic amine and weakly acidic catechol and pyrogallol groups enables PEM formation using only one or the other of its functional groups, leaving the other functional group available to impart antibacterial activity. This work demonstrates Tanfloc-containing PEMs using multiple counter-polyelectrolytes including three polyanionic glycosaminoglycans of varying charge density, and the polycations N,N,N-trimethyl chitosan and polyethyleneimine. The layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of PEMs was monitored using in situ Fourier-transform surface plasmon resonance (FT-SPR), confirming a stable LbL assembly. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to evaluate surface chemistry, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to determine the surface roughness. The LDH release levels from cells cultured on the Tanfloc-containing PEMs were not statistically different from those on the negative control (p > 0.05), confirming their non-cytotoxicity, while exhibiting remarkable antiadhesive and bactericidal properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), respectively. The antibacterial effects were attributed to electrostatic interactions and Tanfloc's polyphenolic nature. This work underscores the potential of Tanfloc as a versatile biomaterial for combating infections on surfaces.

Abstract
Prevention of encrustation on the surface has always been the biggest challenge for urological implants. In the field of ureteral stent design, biodegradability has attracted much attention in recent years, because biodegradable ureteral stents not only avoid secondary intervention, but also prevent encrustation due to surface renewal by degradation process. Furthermore, researches have focus on some surface parameters to provide guidance for the development of stent materials, such as hydrophilicity or surface charge. In this work, we synthesized two types of poly(ester-carbonate)s, poly(L-lactide-co-5-amino-1,3-dioxan-2-one) (P(LA-co-AC)) containing amino, and poly (L-lactide-co-5-methyl-5-carboxyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one) (P(LA-co-MCC)) containing carboxyl. Blending P(LA-co-AC) and P(LA-co-MCC) with poly(L-lactide-co-Ɛ-caprolactone) (PLACL) respectively, two types of ureteral stent materials were prepared. Due to the influence of ions formed by the dissociation of amino and carboxyl, two types of materials show differences in surface charge analyses. We further developed a dynamic urinary extracorporeal circulation (DUEC) system to assess in vitro encrustation of materials with different surface charges. The results of this comparative study identified that the materials with strong negative surface charge were most favorable for use as ureteral stent, and provided a new approach to surmount the problems faced by urological surgery which complied with the future trend of biodegradable ureteral stent design.

Abstract
Utilizing CO2 as one of the monomer resource, poly(vinylcyclohexene carbonates) (PVCHCs) are used as the precursor for preparing cationic PVCHCs (CPVCHCs) via thiol-ene click functionalization. Through the functionalization, CPVCHC-43 with a tertiary amine density of 43% relative to the backbone is able to display a significantly antibacterial ability against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Blending CPVCHC-43 with polyacrylonitrile (PAN), CPVCHC/PAN nanofiber meshes (NFMs) have been successfully prepared by electrospinning. More importantly, two crucial fibrous structural factors including CPVCHC/PAN weight ratio and fiber diameter have been systematically investigated for the effects on the antibacterial performance of the NFMs. Sequentially, a quaternization treatment has been employed on the NFMs with an optimal fibrous structure to enhance the antibacterial ability. The resulting quaternized NFMs have demonstrated the great biocidal effects against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, the excellent biocompatibility of the quaternized NFMs have also been thoroughly evaluated and verified. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Novel Ag nanoparticles (NPs) decorated CO2-responsive cotton fiber (PCCF@Ag) as eco-friendly adsorbent was prepared via in-situ growth of Ag NPs on the poly(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate-co-4-acryloyloxybenzophenone) coated cotton fiber. The as-prepared PCCF@Ag displayed excellent adsorption performance toward both anionic and cationic dyes with or without CO2 stimulation, even under a wide range of pH from 3 to 11. The maximum adsorption capacities of the as-prepared PCCF@Ag toward anionic dye (1538.5 mg g-1 for MO) and cationic dyes (944.0 mg g-1 for MEB and 415.6 mg g-1 for NR) were satisfactory. The adsorption processes were described better by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, respectively. Notably, upon CO2 stimulation, the PCCF@Ag exhibited significantly enhanced adsorption capacity toward anionic dyes, following ultrafast adsorption rate, which made the PCCF@Ag could selectively adsorb anionic dyes from mixture because of greatly different adsorption rates between anionic dyes (adsorption equilibrium within 2 min) and cationic dyes (adsorption equilibrium over 12 h). Additionally, the PCCF@Ag could maintain over 91.0% of adsorption capacity even after ten cycles, indicating its outstanding reusability. Meanwhile, the as-obtained PCCF@Ag exhibited excellent antibacterial activity. Overall, the as-obtained PCCF@Ag could be considered as a promising dye scavenger for wastewater remediation.

Abstract
Antiseptics and disinfectants are extensively used for a variety of topical and hard-surface applications. A wide variety of biocides as active chemical agents is found in these products, including alcohols, phenols, iodine, and chlorine. Many of these active agents demonstrate broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity; however, the mode of action of these agents is not well-documented. This review is focused on several examples of ionic systems based on ionic surfactants and ionic liquids as well as nanomaterials and nanoparticles acting as antiseptics and disinfectants for surfaces. It is important to note that many of these biocides may be used singly or in combination in a variety of products, which vary considerably in activity against microorganisms. Antimicrobial activity can be influenced by several factors such as formulation effects, presence of an organic load, synergy, temperature, dilution, and test method. The most promissory compounds based on ionic systems and nanomaterials published in mainly the last decade is chronologically reported in this review.

Abstract
A novel CO2-responsive cotton as an eco-friendly adsorbent derived from poly(4-acryloyloxybenzophenone-co-2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) and cotton was fabricated via a facile and fast dip-coating method. As expected, upon CO2 stimulation, the protonated cotton presented CO2-induced "on-off" selective adsorption behaviors toward anionic dyes owing to electrostatic interactions. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics of the CO2-responsive cotton toward anionic dyes obeyed the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics models, respectively. It is noteworthy that the CO2-responsive cotton exhibited high adsorption capacity and ultrafast adsorption rate toward anionic dyes with the maximum adsorption capacities of 1785.71 mg g-1 for methyl orange (MO), 1108.65 mg g-1 for methyl blue (MB), and 1315.79 mg g-1 for naphthol green B (NGB), following the adsorption equilibrium times of 5 min for MO, 3 min for MB, and 4 min for NGB. Moreover, the CO2-responsive cotton also exhibited high removal efficiency toward anionic dyes in synthetic dye effluent. Additionally, the CO2-responsive cotton could be facilely regenerated via heat treatment under mild conditions and presented stable adsorption properties even after 15 cycles. Finally, the as-prepared CO2-responsive cotton exhibited outstanding antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. In summary, this novel CO2-responsive cotton can be viewed as a promising eco-friendly adsorbent material for potential scalable application in dye-contaminated wastewater remediation.

Abstract
Production of environmentally friendly multitasking materials is among the urgent challenges of chemistry and ecotechnology. The current research paper describes the synthesis of amino-/silica and amino-/phenyl-/silica particles using a one-pot sol-gel technique. CHNS analysis and titration demonstrated a high content of functional groups, while scanning electron microscopy revealed their spherical form and ∼200 nm in size. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data testified that hydrophobic groups reduced the number of water molecules and protonated amino groups on the surface, increasing the portion of free amino groups. The complexation with Cu(II) cations was used to analyze the sorption capacity and reactivity of the aminopropyl groups and to enhance the antimicrobial action of the samples. Antibacterial activities of suspensions of aminosilica particles and their derivative forms containing adsorbed copper(II) ions were assayed against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853). Meanwhile, antifungal activity was tested against fungi (Candida albicans UCM Y-690). According to zeta potential measurements, its value could be depended on the suspension concentration, and it was demonstrated that the positively charged suspension had higher antibacterial efficiency. SiO2/-C6H5/-NH2 + Cu(II) sample's water suspension (1%) showed complete growth inhibition of the bacterial culture on the solid medium. The antimicrobial activity could be due to occurrence of multiple and nonspecific interactions between the particle surfaces and the surface layers of bacteria or fungi.

Abstract
Bacterial infections induced by drug-resistant strains have become a global crisis. A membrane-disrupted mechanism is considered as an effective way to kill bacteria with little chance to trigger drug resistance. It is necessary to explore and develop new materials based on the membrane-disrupted mechanism to combat bacterial resistance. Here we report the design of organic nanoparticles based on a polymer (PDCP) as highly effective inhibition and bactericidal reagents. The PDCP is devised to have a hydrophobic skeleton and hydrophilic side chain modified with protonated primary amines, which could self-assemble to form organic nanoparticles (PDCP-NPs). By taking advantage of the large surface to volume ratio of nanoparticles, the synthesized PDCP-NPs have enriched positive charges and multiple membrane-binding sites. Research results display that PDCP-NPs have highly potent antibacterial activity in vitro and vivo, especially for Gram-negative bacteria with low toxicity against mammalian cells. This work design will inspire researchers to develop more membrane-disrupted bactericide and advance the applications of organic nanoparticles in the antibacterial area.

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.

Designing of membrane-active nano-antimicrobials based on cationic copolymer functionalized nanodiamond: Influence of hydrophilic segment on antimicrobial activity and selectivity. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2018; 92:307-316.

Abstract
Designing cationic nano-antimicrobial is a promising solution for combating drug resistant microbes. In this work, hydrophilic cationic copolymer was applied for the surface functionalization of nanodiamonds (NDs) aiming at developing a highly membrane-active nano-antibacterial agent with satisfactory selectivity. As a result, after functionalization, the increased repulsive forces within NDs and interaction with solvent molecular network made the heavily aggregated pristine NDs break down into tiny nanoparticles with particle size ranging from 10 to 100 nm. The improved hydrophilicity and enlarged surface area endowed QND-H5 and QND-H10 a powerful bactericidal capability toward both of Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In the further bactericidal assessment, it was also demonstrated that the formation of hydrogen bonding between the 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) side chains and lipid head groups of bacterial membrane also contributed to the enhanced bactericidal ability. Field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis confirmed that as-prepared nano-hybrid acted bactericidal ability via physical nature of outer membrane and cytoplasmic membrane-separating destruction mechanism toward E. coli, which may derive from the hydrogen bonding ability, making them more effective toward bacterial. More importantly, it was found that with just 10% of HEMA, QND-H10 displayed good selectivity toward bacteria over mammalian cells as shown by the high HC50 values with relatively low MIC values, suggesting the great potential application in medical fields. These results indicate that hydrogen bonding is an important element to achieve the desired high antibacterial activity and selectivity, particularly when cationic nano-antibacterial agents are required for medical application.

Abstract
We describe a simple and solvent-free method to generate nitric oxide (NO)-releasing coatings by incorporating diazeniumdiolate (NONOate) into allylamine or diallylamine plasma polymer coatings. The resulting coatings demonstrate continuous release of NO for over 48 hours and are effective at reducing the adhesion and biofilm formation of medically-relevant Gram-negative and Gram-positive opportunistic pathogens.

Abstract
In this study, we describe the synthesis and characterization of superparamagnetic core-shell iron oxide (IO)/N-halamine antibacterial nanoparticles (NPs). For this purpose, superparamagnetic IO core NPs were coated with cross-linked polymethacrylamide (PMAA) by surfactant-free dispersion copolymerization of methacrylamide and N,N-methylenebis(acrylamide) in an aqueous continuous phase. The effect of the polymerization process on the chemical composition, size, shape, crystallinity, and magnetic properties of the IO/PMAA NPs was elucidated. Conversion of the core-shell IO/PMAA NPs into their N-halamine form, IO/PMAA-Cl, was accomplished using a chlorination reaction with sodium hypochlorite. The influence of chlorination on the shape, crystallinity, and magnetic properties of the IO/PMAA NPs was studied. The IO/PMAA-Cl NPs demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Finally, the chlorination recharging capabilities of the NPs and their potential for use in the purification of water containing bacteria were demonstrated with magnetic columns packed with the IO/PMAA-Cl NPs.
