Abstract
With increasing health awareness of the pathogenic effects of disease-causing microorganisms, interest in and use (of medical textiles, disinfectants in medical devices, etc.) of antimicrobial substances have increased in various applications, such as medical textiles and disinfectants (alcohol-based and nonalcoholic), in medical devices There are several concerns with alcohol-based disinfectants, such as surface deformation of medical devices due to high alcohol content and damage to skin tissue caused by lipid and protein denaturation of cell membranes. Quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) were preferred because they have the potential to prepare water-based disinfectants. In this study, novel (3-chloropropyl)triethoxysilane (CPTMO) and (3-chloropropyl)triethoxysilane (CPTEO) based quaternary ammonium silane compounds (silane-quats) were developed using quats with carbon chain lengths of C12, C14, C16 and C18. Titration (ASTM D2074) was used to calculate the yield of the synthesis and the structures of the products were characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C NMR, 1H NMR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the synthesized samples was evaluated against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Enterococcus hirae (E. hirae)) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa)) bacteria and fungi (Candida albicans (C. albicans), Aspergillus brasiliensis (A. brasiliensis)) using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test. According to MIC tests, the silane-quats with the highest antimicrobial effects were dimethylhexadecyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride (SQ3), which had an MIC of < 16 μg/ml (ppm) against E. coli, S. aureus, E. hirae, C. albicans, and A. brasiliensis and 32 μg/ml against P. aeruginosa. The MIC test results also showed antimicrobial activity at least 2 times greater than that of the commercially available disinfectant benzalkonium chloride (BAC). Findings suggest that SQ3 (C16) holds promise as an effective medical disinfectant, presenting a novel approach to combating microbial infections in healthcare settings.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:422. [PMID: 38255590 PMCID: PMC10817511 DOI: 10.3390/ma17020422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
In this work, Ti-incorporated carbon coatings were used as substrates for modification with one- and two-component self-assembled monolayers of organosilane compounds using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp. This enabled the selective functionalization of surfaces with micrometric dimensions. The topography of the modified surfaces was defined using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The effectiveness of the modification was confirmed by measurements of the water contact angle and surface free energy using the Oss and Good method. Using a T-23 microtribometer with counterparts in the shape of balls that were made of steel, silicon nitride (Si3N4), and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), the tribological properties of the obtained coatings were tested. These investigations showed that modification by using a PDMS stamp makes it possible to produce two-component ultrathin silane layers on Ti-containing carbon substrates. Two-component organosilane layers had higher hydrophobicity, a lower friction coefficient, and a smaller width of wear tracks than the one-component analogs. It was also found that the work of adhesion of the created surfaces had a significant influence on the value of the friction coefficient and the percentage value of the growth inhibition of bacteria.

Abstract
Disposal of respiratory secretions from patients having contagious diseases (e.g., COVID-19 and tuberculosis) poses a high risk of infection for healthcare workers. AcryloSorb canister liner bags are highly efficient for the safe handling of contagious respiratory secretions via solidification and disinfection processes. The canister liner bags are lined with disinfectant-impregnated superabsorbent polymer (DSAP) granules. The liner structure in the bag has a patented design that has upward progressive absorbent availability (Indian Patent application # 202041019872). AcryloSorb canister liner bags can decontaminate the fluid secretions absorbed in the bag and solidify within 10 min. The present study focused on the bactericidal effect of DSAP using Gram-negative bacteria, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Gram-positive bacteria, methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Disinfectants such as peracetic acid (ethaneperoxic acid), sodium dichloroisocyanurate (sodium 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trioxo-1,3,5-triazinan-1-ide), rose bengal (disodium; 2,3,4,5-tetrachloro-6-(2,4,5,7-tetraiodo-3-oxido-6-oxoxanthen-9-yl) benzoate), and N,N-dimethyl-N-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]octadecan-1-aminium chloride at different weight ratios were impregnated in superabsorbent polymer (SAP) granules. The bactericidal activities of DSAP were studied along with its solidification capacity. Disinfectants showed different bactericidal activities when impregnated with SAP granules. For example, peracetic acid-impregnated SAP granules (DSAP-P) showed 100% bactericidal activity for both Klebsiella pneumoniae and MRSA at 0.5 wt % peracetic acid. Sodium dichloroisocyanurate-impregnated SAP granules showed 100% bactericidal activity only at 5 wt % sodium dichloroisocyanurate (DSAP-S5). Even though peracetic acid was highly effective, SAP granules collapsed when impregnated with peracetic acid. The ease of handling, disinfection efficacy, and preserving the morphology of SAP granules make DSAP-S5, a suitable candidate for AcryloSorb canister liner bags.

Abstract
Biofilm is complex and consists of bacterial colonies that reside in an exopolysaccharide matrix that attaches to foreign surfaces in a living organism. Biofilm frequently leads to nosocomial, chronic infections in clinical settings. Since the bacteria in the biofilm have developed antibiotic resistance, using antibiotics alone to treat infections brought on by biofilm is ineffective. This review provides a succinct summary of the theories behind the composition of, formation of, and drug-resistant infections attributed to biofilm and cutting-edge curative approaches to counteract and treat biofilm. The high frequency of medical device-induced infections due to biofilm warrants the application of innovative technologies to manage the complexities presented by biofilm.

Efficiency of Neat and Quaternized-Cellulose Nanofibril Fillers in Chitosan Membranes for Direct Ethanol Fuel Cells. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15051146. [PMID: 36904390 PMCID: PMC10007147 DOI: 10.3390/polym15051146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work, fully polysaccharide based membranes were presented as self-standing, solid polyelectrolytes for application in anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). For this purpose, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were modified successfully with an organosilane reagent, resulting in quaternized CNFs (CNF (D)), as shown by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Carbon-13 (C13) nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)/Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and ζ-potential measurements. Both the neat (CNF) and CNF(D) particles were incorporated in situ into the chitosan (CS) membrane during the solvent casting process, resulting in composite membranes that were studied extensively for morphology, potassium hydroxide (KOH) uptake and swelling ratio, ethanol (EtOH) permeability, mechanical properties, ionic conductivity, and cell performance. The results showed higher Young's modulus (119%), tensile strength (91%), ion exchange capacity (177%), and ionic conductivity (33%) of the CS-based membranes compared to the commercial Fumatech membrane. The addition of CNF filler improved the thermal stability of the CS membranes and reduced the overall mass loss. The CNF (D) filler provided the lowest (4.23 × 10-5 cm2 s-1) EtOH permeability of the respective membrane, which is in the same range as that of the commercial membrane (3.47 × 10-5 cm2s-1). The most significant improvement (~78%) in power density at 80 °C was observed for the CS membrane with neat CNF compared to the commercial Fumatech membrane (62.4 mW cm-2 vs. 35.1 mW cm-2). Fuel cell tests showed that all CS-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) exhibited higher maximum power densities than the commercial AEMs at 25 °C and 60 °C with humidified or non-humidified oxygen, demonstrating their potential for low-temperature direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) applications.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the antimicrobial potency of a surface-anchored quaternary ammonium salt (SAQAS)-based biocide during in vitro wet and dry fomite assays and to determine the mechanism of killing bacteria on the surface. METHODS AND RESULTS Wet and dry fomite assays were established in vitro for a commercially available biocide (SAQAS-A) applied to glass and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) surfaces. Both wet and dry fomite tests showed the active killing of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria but not endospores. Assays measuring membrane permeability (ATP and DNA release), bacterial membrane potential and bacterial ROS production were correlated with the time-to-kill profiles to show SAQAS-A activity in suspension and applied to a surface. CONCLUSIONS SAQAS-A is an effective biocide against model strains of vegetative bacteria. The killing mechanism for SAQAS-A observed minimal membrane depolarization, a surge in ROS production and assessment of membrane permeability supported the puncture of cells in both suspension and surface attachment, leading to cell death. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY SAQAS represents effective surface biocides against single challenges with bacteria through a mechanical killing ability that supports real-world application if their durability can be demonstrated to maintain residual activity.

Abstract
Quaternary ammonium silane [(QAS), codename – k21] is a novel biomaterial developed by sol-gel process having broad spectrum antimicrobial activities with low cytotoxicity. It has been used in various concentrations with maximum antimicrobial efficacy and biocompatibility. The antimicrobial mechanism is displayed via contact killing, causing conformational changes within the bacterial cell membrane, inhibiting Sortase-A enzyme, and causing cell disturbances due to osmotic changes. The compound can attach to S1' pockets on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), leading to massive MMP enzyme inhibition, making it one of the most potent protease inhibitors. Quaternary ammonium silane has been synthesized and used in dentistry to eliminate the biofilm from dental tissues. QAS has been tested for its antibacterial activity as a cavity disinfectant, endodontic irrigant, restorative and root canal medication, and a nanocarrier for drug delivery approaches. The review is first of its kind that aims to discuss applications of QAS as a novel antibacterial biomaterial for dental applications along with discussions on its cytotoxic effects and future prospects in dentistry.

Abstract
Biodegradation is among the most common issues affecting Cultural Heritage stone materials in outdoor environments. In recent years, the application of chemical agents with biocidal activity has been the most usual practice when dealing with biofilm removal. In outdoor environments, the use of these biocides is not effective enough, since the materials are constantly exposed to environmental agents and atmospheric pollutants. Thus, it becomes necessary to protect the surface of Cultural Heritage works with antimicrobial coatings to either prevent or at least limit future colonization. In this study, innovative biocides-both natural and synthetic-were applied on a Roman mosaic located in the Archaeological Park of Ostia Antica to compare their effectiveness in removing the biological degradation affecting it. In addition, an antimicrobial coating called "SI-QUAT" was applied and analyzed in situ. SI-QUAT has recently entered the market for its prevention activity against biocolonization. The biocidal activity of these products was tested and monitored using different analytical portable instruments, such as the multispectral system, the spectrocolorimeter, and the bioluminometer. The analyses showed that promising results can be obtained using the combination of the biocide and the protective effect of Preventol® RI50 and SI-QUAT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Implant-related infections are a primary reason for implant failures that affect millions of patients. It is of paramount importance to develop novel implants that possess the dual functions of osteogenesis-promotion and antibacterial activity. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop novel dual-functional titanium (Ti) implants by combining oxygen non-thermal plasma and covalent bonding of antibacterial organosilicon quaternary ammonium monomers; (2) investigate the physicochemical properties, bioactivity and antibacterial effects of the modified implants for the first time. METHODS Surface characteristics of the modified Ti surfaces were tested. Adherence and viability of rat bone marrow-derived stem cells (rBMSCs) on the surface were evaluated. Metabolic activity of biofilm on the surfaces were measured. The stability of the dual-function after 5000 thermal cycles was also evaluated. RESULTS The presence of chemical bonding between Ti and organosilicon monomers demonstrated covalent immobilization of the antibacterial agents. The water contact angle of the treated Ti surfaces decreased from 70.98 ± 3.68° to 59.86 ± 4.91°. The adhesion and proliferation of rBMSCs on the modified Ti were increased by 40%, compared to control group (P < 0.05). The metabolic level of biofilms on modified Ti were reduced by more than half, compared to control (P < 0.05). The modified Ti implants exhibited cell-promotion and antibacterial stability after thermal cycles. SIGNIFICANCE The new dual-functional Ti implant is promising to promote osteogenesis while simultaneously preventing infections. Furthermore, the novel surface modification and processing methods have applicability to enhancing a wide range of other implants to improve bioactivity and combat infections.

Abstract
Synergistic combinations of pullulan, agar, montmorillonite (MMT) clay, and quaternary ammonium silane (QAS)-based (Pullulan/agar/MMT clay/QAS) active nanocomposites were prepared by a simple, cost-effective method. The Pullulan/agar/MMT clay/QAS nanocomposites were studied via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses. The concentration of MMT clay played a very important role in the properties of the nanocomposites. However, the transparency of the composite was not significantly affected by the addition of MMT clay. The ultraviolet (UV) transmittance of Pullulan/agar/MMT clay/QAS was in the range of 91.4-79.8 at 600 nm. The thermal and mechanical properties were significantly improved by the MMT clay. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the composites were in the range of 23.8-39.7 MPa and 37.2-26.9%, respectively. The long alkyl chain in QAS significantly improved the hydrophobic nature of the Pullulan/agar/MMT clay nanocomposites, impacting the contact angle (66.2-71.2°), water vapor permeability (3.17-2.20 × 10-9 g/m2 Pa·s), and swelling ratio (1837-836%). The combination of Pullulan/agar/MMT clay/QAS had a synergistic effect on the rheological properties. MMT clay and QAS significantly increased the viscosity, storage, and loss modulus of the hydrogel composites. With the addition of QAS, the Pullulan/agar/MMT clay nanocomposites showed good antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens.

Abstract
Agar/polyacrylamide/quaternary ammonium silane-based (A/P/QAS-based) composite films were developed for food and biomedical packaging applications. The structural, optical, and surface morphological properties of the A/P and A/P/QAS composites were characterized by various characterization techniques in terms of thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry analyses, mechanical and rheological properties. Results showed that the 5% gravimetric loss (57.8-139.1 °C), glass transition temperature (179-189.9 °C) and tensile strength (35.2-47.8 MPa) of the prepared composites increased with increasing polyacrylamide content. The contact angle and water barrier properties of the composites were considerably improved by the addition of QAS. To compare WVP values of the A/P/QAS composite with neat AP composite films it reduced nearly 46% (2.45 to 1.32 × 10-9 g/m2 Pas). The A/P/QAS composites showed excellent antimicrobial properties against five different organisms. The Staphylococcus aureus exhibited highest 25 mm for gel and 18.1 mm for film of A/P/QAS composites. All the composites exhibited shear-thinning behavior, and their viscosity increased with increasing polyacrylamide content. The storage moduli of the prepared hydrogel composites were in the range of 5000-10,600 Pa at 1 rad/s and increased continuously over the entire frequency range. The dynamic rheological properties of A/P and A/P/QAS composites indicated that the prepared composites had good mechanical strength. Biopolymer based A/P and A/P/QAS composite films are suitable for green composite packaging applications.

Abstract
This work reports on polymer-antibiotic conjugates (PACs) as additives to resin-based restorative dental materials as a new strategy to convey sustained antibacterial character to these materials. Such antibacterial performance is expected to improve their longevity in the oral cavity. Using the previously reported ciprofloxacin (Cip)-based PAC as a control, a penicillin V (PV)-based PAC was investigated. The monomer-antibiotic conjugate (MAC) containing a methacrylate monomer group and a PV moiety was prepared via nucleophilic substitution between 2-chloroethyl methacrylate (CEMA) and penicillin V potassium (PVK). The PV-based PAC was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of the MAC with hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and further characterized by 1H NMR and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis. Antibiotic resistance was investigated by passaging bacteria in low concentrations of the antibiotic for 19 days, followed by a 48 h challenge at higher concentrations. Our results suggest that the development of antibiotic resistance is unlikely. Zone of inhibition (ZOI) assays revealed no clearing zones around PV-containing resins indicating minimal antibiotic leakage from the material. Similarly, MTT assay demonstrated that the antibiotic-containing specimens did not release cytotoxic byproducts that may inhibit human gingival fibroblast growth. Counting of colony-forming units in an S. mutans biofilm model was used to assess bacterial survival at baseline and after subjecting the antibiotic-containing resin specimens to an enzymatic challenge for 30 days. Significantly reduced bacterial counts were observed as the biofilm aged from 24 to 72 h, and salivary enzymatic exposure did not reduce the antibacterial efficacy of the discs, suggesting that PV-resin will be effective in reducing the re-incidence of dental caries.

Abstract
Environmentally friendly protection coatings have obtained increasing attention for their use in wooden materials, which can be destroyed easily when exposed to outdoor environments. A series of silane sol coatings coordinated with Eu3+ was prepared by hydrolyzing silane compounds. The obtained luminescent coating with three-dimensional net structure showed excellent optical, anti-ultraviolet aging, and thermal stability. The hybrid silane-modified compound coating was well-distributed on the wood by Si–O bonds to prevent its removal. The compound coating could stave off the decomposition of wood by converting ultraviolet light into red light and a charring action can endow the wood with thermal stability at high temperature, demonstrating the improvement of fire resistance and radiation residence following prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light, proving its excellent anti-ultraviolet aging properties.

Abstract
Urinary and intravascular catheters are two of the most used invasive medical devices; however, microbial colonization of catheter surfaces is responsible for most healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Several antimicrobial-coated catheters are available, but recurrent antibiotic therapy can decrease their potential activity against resistant bacterial strains. The aim of this Review is to question the actual effectiveness of currently used (coated) catheters and describe the progress and promise of alternative antimicrobial coatings. Different strategies have been reviewed with the common goal of preventing biofilm formation on catheters, including release-based approaches using antibiotics, antiseptics, nitric oxide, 5-fluorouracil, and silver as well as contact-killing approaches employing quaternary ammonium compounds, chitosan, antimicrobial peptides, and enzymes. All of these strategies have given proof of antimicrobial efficacy by modifying the physiology of pathogens or disrupting their structural integrity. The aim for synergistic approaches using multitarget processes and the combination of both antifouling and bactericidal properties holds potential for the near future. Despite intensive research in biofilm preventive strategies, laboratorial studies still present some limitations since experimental conditions usually are not the same and also differ from biological conditions encountered when the catheter is inserted in the human body. Consequently, in most cases, the efficacy data obtained from in vitro studies is not properly reflected in the clinical setting. Thus, further well-designed clinical trials and additional cytotoxicity studies are needed to prove the efficacy and safety of the developed antimicrobial strategies in the prevention of biofilm formation at catheter surfaces.

Abstract
Gellan gum-sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (GC)-based composite films with various concentrations of silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles and octadecyldimethyl-(3-triethoxy silylpropyl)ammonium chloride (ODDMAC) were successfully prepared by the traditional solution casting method to improve the antimicrobial and water repellent properties. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra confirm the formation of hydrogen bonds between the GC and nano-SiO2. The microstructure and physicochemical properties were investigated by FT-IR, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. The rheological properties of the GC-SiO2 hydrogel were also characterized. The results show that the inclusion of SiO2 nanoparticles significantly improved the viscosity and viscoelastic properties of the GC hydrogel. The GC-SiO2 hydrogel exhibited shear-thinning behavior and its viscosity decreased at high shear rates. The storage and loss moduli of the GC composites increased as the frequency and SiO2 concentration increased. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the GC composites increased by 75.9 and 62%, respectively, with the addition of SiO2 and ODDMAC. In addition, nano-SiO2 decreased the water vapor permeability and increased the hydrophobic properties of the GC-SiO2 composites. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the T 5% loss was in the range of 99.4-128.6 °C and the char yield was in the range of 20.1-29.9%, which was significantly enhanced by the incorporation of SiO2 nanoparticles. The GC-SiO2 (ODDMAC) nanocomposites effectively shielded the UV light and exhibited high antimicrobial activity against six different pathogens. The simple and cost-effective GC-SiO2 (ODDMAC) nanocomposites gained importance in food packaging and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Tailoring the surface properties of materials for biomedical applications is important to avoid clinical complications. Forming thin layers of amphiphilic molecules with apolar regions that facilitate attractive intermolecular interactions, can be a suitable and versatile approach to achieve hydrophobic surface modification and provide functional antibacterial properties. Aiming to correlate layer structure and properties starting from film formation, octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) and dimethyloctadecyl (3-trimethoxysilylpropyl) ammonium chloride (DMOAP) layers were adsorbed onto smooth titania surfaces. Then the films were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and their interactions with aqueous environments were characterized by contact angle and zeta potential measurements. In addition, antibacterial assays were performed using E. coli and S. mutants to reveal the antibacterial properties effected by the surface modification. Immediately after sputter deposition, titania was hydrophilic; however, after air storage and adsorption of DMOAP or ODPA, an increase in the water contact angle was observed. XPS investigations after layer formation and after antibacterial tests revealed that the attachment of layers assembled from ODPA on titania substrates is considerably stronger and more stable than that observed for DMOAP films. Heat treatment strongly affects DMOAP layers. Furthermore, DMOAP layers are not stable under biological conditions. Structure–property relationship of amphiphilic molecules on smooth substrates was explored through a multi-step approach and its influence on biological activity.![]()

Abstract
Kefir is a probiotic that has several health promising properties. Its grains can form microbial films on different types of substrates. In the present work, the surface characteristics of kefir biofilms associated with Maytenus rigida Mart. extract were minutely studied. Three different concentrations of plant extract were included in the biofilm forming solutions, where fresh grains of kefir were inoculated. The results showed that the plant extract was successfully incorporated into the exopolysaccharide matrix of the biofilm. The main chemical components found linked to the plant extract were triterpenes. The crystallinity of biofilms increased with the addition of the plant extract. The morphology revealed that at low concentrations of the extract there was a prevalence of lactobacilli, while at high concentrations yeasts were more observed. Adhesion and wettability were higher for biofilm with less extract. These results revealed that a combination of plant extract and kefir's exopolysaccharide could form biofilms with chemical and topographic properties of great interest in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Implant-associated infections is one of the most challenging post-operative complications in bone-related implantations. To tackle this clinical issue, we developed a low-cost and durable surface coating for medical grade titanium implants that uses positively charged silane molecules. The in vitro antimicrobial tests revealed that the titanium surface coated with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane, which has the appropriate length of hydrophobic alkyl chain and positive charged amino group, suppressed more than 90% of the initial bacterial adhesion of S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli after 30 min of incubation. In terms of growth inhibitory rate, the treated surface was able to reduce 75.7% ± 11.9% of bacterial growth after a 24-hour culturing, thereby exhibiting superior anti-biofilm formation in the late stage. When implanted into the rat model infected by S. aureus, the treated surface eliminated the implant-associated infection through the mechanism of inhibition of bacterial adhesion on the implant surface. Additionally, the treated surface was highly compatible with mammalian cells. In general, our design demonstrated its potential for human clinical trials as a low-cost and effective antibacterial strategy to minimize post-operative implant-related bacterial infection.

Abstract
Advancements in materials science and fabrication techniques have contributed to the significant growing attention to a wide variety of sensors for digital healthcare. While the progress in this area is tremendously impressive, few wearable sensors with the capability of real-time blood pressure monitoring are approved for clinical use. One of the key obstacles in the further development of wearable sensors for medical applications is the lack of comprehensive technical evaluation of sensor materials against the expected clinical performance. Here, we present an extensive review and critical analysis of various materials applied in the design and fabrication of wearable sensors. In our unique transdisciplinary approach, we studied the fundamentals of blood pressure and examined its measuring modalities while focusing on their clinical use and sensing principles to identify material functionalities. Then, we carefully reviewed various categories of functional materials utilized in sensor building blocks allowing for comparative analysis of the performance of a wide range of materials throughout the sensor operational-life cycle. Not only this provides essential data to enhance the materials' properties and optimize their performance, but also, it highlights new perspectives and provides suggestions to develop the next generation pressure sensors for clinical use.

Abstract
Multidrug resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa has caused serious nosocomial infections owing to its high intrinsic resistance and ease of acquiring resistance to common antibiotics. There is an urgent need to develop antimicrobial agents against MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here we report a 27-mer peptide polymer 90 : 10 DLL : BLG, as a synthetic mimic of a host defense peptide, that displayed potent in vitro and in vivo activities against multiple strains of clinically isolated MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa, performing even better than antibiotics within our study. This peptide polymer also showed negligible hemolysis and low cytotoxicity, as well as quick bacterial killing efficacy. The structural diversity of peptide polymers, their easy synthesis from lithium hexamethyldisilazide-initiated fast N-carboxyanhydride polymerization, and the excellent reproducibility of their chemical structure and biological profiles altogether suggested great potential for antimicrobial applications of peptide polymers as synthetic mimics of host defense peptides.

Abstract
Using polymerization and immobilization techniques, the loss of antimicrobial efficacy of a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) was minimized by decreasing its solubility and crosslinking it to metal substrates. The survivability of Listeria innocua and Escherichia coli K12 inoculated to silane QAC coated metal surfaces was compared with uncoated metal surfaces at different treatment conditions for up to 6 months storage. Resilience of the coating material to repeated cleaning, up to 20 washing and rinsing cycles, was also investigated. No evidence of bacteria viability (>5 log reduction of colony-forming unit) was observed for L. innocua when they were inoculated onto coated surfaces stored for 3 months, whereas E. coli was reduced by 3 to 4-logs. For the viable L. innocua cells on the coated surfaces, >5 log reductions were achieved even after the coated surfaces were cleaned by 20 washing and rinsing cycles prior to the cells' inoculation. For the E. coli cells, ~ 2 log reductions were achieved after 5 cleaning cycles and <1 log reduction after 10 or more cleaning procedures. Overall, the results showed that the coating had antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria while it showed moderate activity to Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Quaternized poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) brushes bearing quaternary ammonium groups of different alkyl chain lengths (ACLs) were prepared and assessed as biocidal coatings. For the synthesis of the antimicrobial brushes, first well-defined PDMAEMA chains were grown by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization on glass and silicon substrates. Next, the tertiary amine groups of the polymer brushes were modified via a quaternization reaction, using alkyl halides, to obtain the cationic polymers. The polymer films were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy, and water contact angle measurements. The effect of the ACL of the quaternary ammonium groups on the physicochemical properties of the films as well as the contact killing efficiency of the surfaces against representative Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was investigated. A hydrophilic to hydrophobic transition of the surfaces and a significant decrease of the degree of quaternization of the DMAEMA moieties was found upon increasing the ACL of the quaternization agent above six carbon atoms, allowing the wettability, the thickness, and the pH-response of the brushes to be tuned via a facile postpolymerization, quaternization reaction. At the same time, antimicrobial tests revealed that the hydrophilic polymer brushes exhibited enhanced bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus, whereas the hydrophobic surfaces showed a significant deterioration of the in vitro bactericidal performance. Our results elucidate the antimicrobial action of quaternized polymer brushes, dictating the appropriate choice of the ACL of the quaternization agent for the development of coatings that effectively inhibit biofilm formation on surfaces.

Abstract
This paper reports a novel glass fiber membrane with an effective antibacterial performance by chemical grafting of quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) which is enhanced by a plasma bombardment technique. Plasma bombardment as a pretreatment of the membrane can increase the QAS anchored on the membrane from 0.8 to 1.3 wt %. The chemical grafting technique can increase the membrane zeta potential from negative values to positive values in aqueous solutions at various pHs. Furthermore, the plasma-enhanced chemical-grafting membrane has more positive zeta potentials (49.0 mV at pH = 7) than the chemical-grafting membrane without the plasma bombardment technique (38.9 mV at pH = 7). In the antibacterial performance evaluation, the Escherichia coli survival rate decreased from 127.0% of the pristine membrane to 4.1 and 11.3% of the plasma-enhanced chemical-grafting membrane and the chemical-grafting membrane, respectively. In addition, the plasma-enhanced chemical-grafting membrane shows durable antibacterial activity against E. coli with copious water rinsing as much as 3 L·cm-2.

Abstract
Microbial infections have always been serious challenges to human health considering that antibiotics almost inevitably induce microbial resistance. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new antibacterial agent that is active against drug-resistant bacteria and is less susceptible to microbial resistance. In this work, a series of host defense peptide (HDP) mimicking antibacterial poly-β-peptides were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their biological activities. The best poly-β-peptide within this study (20 : 80 Bu : DM) displays potent and broad spectrum antibacterial activity against antibiotic-resistant super bugs and low toxicity toward mammalian cells. Moreover, these poly-β-peptides are bactericidal and kill bacteria very fast within 5 min. An antimicrobial resistance test demonstrated that bacteria develop no resistance toward the selected poly-β-peptides even over 1000 generations. Our studies demonstrate that random copolymers of heterochiral poly-β-peptides, without the need for defined secondary structures, can mimic the antimicrobial HDP. These results imply the potential application of these poly-β-peptides as new antimicrobial agents to tackle drug resistant antimicrobial infections.

Dent Mater 2016; 33:119-131.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deterioration of mechanical strength for the dental composite containing ionic bactericidal compounds restricts the widespread utilization of this class of useful materials. This problem is originated from the reduction of the intermolecular interaction of polymeric network due to plasticization effect of absorbed water molecules penetrated between the chain segments. The main goal of this study is the synthesis of the highly efficient bactericidal additive with low hydrophilicity and consequently the least adverse effect on the final mechanical strength of the dental composite. METHODS The bactericidal 1, 2, 3-triazolium functional groups were chemically anchored on the surface of hydrophobic POSS nanoparticles (Triazolium-POSS) and incorporated into a dental restorative system composed of a ternary thiol-allyl ether-methacrylate resin and glass fillers. A similar system was also prepared, in which the POSS additive was replaced with quaternized dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate monomer (DMAEMA-BC). The chemical structure of POSS derivatives was evaluated by 1HNMR and FTIR spectra. The water uptake of dental composites was evaluated at days 1 and 14 after immersion into water. The bactericidal activity of composite specimens against Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 35668) was determined based on ASTM E 2180 - 07. The flexural properties of samples were investigated through three-point bending assay and the shrinkage-strain of photo-cured resins was measured using the bonded-disk technique. The degree of conversion (DC %) of methacrylate functions was followed by FTIR spectroscopy. MTT assay was performed to investigate the cytocompatibility of samples. RESULTS Regardless of the partial increase in water uptake for Triazolium-POSS-containing sample, this parameter was much favor than the composite made from DMAEMA-BC. Therefore, the lower decline in flexural properties was recorded under the wet condition for the former system. Incorporation of Triazolium-POSS had no significant effect on shrinkage strain and cytocompatibility of composite specimen, meanwhile, a higher degree of conversion of methacrylate functional groups was recorded. The Triazolium-POSS-containing nano composite showed significantly higher bactericidal activity against Streptococcus mutans than another studied model system. SIGNIFICANCE The new derivative of bactericidal POSS nanoparticles decorated with 1, 2, 3-Triazolium moieties is a highly efficient bactericidal compound. If Triazolium-POSS is incorporated into a proper dental resin formulation, it can provide a strong bactericidal activity for dental materials; in the meantime, it leads to minimum deterioration of their mechanical strength due to its low water uptake.
