23 New electrode materials based on composite inorganic redox material–organic conducting polymer for 24 electroanalysis of dopamine were developed. The composite inorganic–organic coatings based on Prus25 sian blue (PB) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) have been prepared by electrochemical 26 methods onto gold disk microelectrode arrays. Both insoluble and soluble forms of PB were ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the role of osteogenic coatings (placement of a thin film of organic and inorganic osteoinductive and osteoproliferative materials) on implant surfaces in augmenting bone-to-implant contact (BIC) in osteoporotic bone. DATA SOURCES To answer the focused question "Do osteogenic coatings on implant surfaces increase BI...

Sol-gel technique has been utilized for the fabrication of multifunctional inorganic-organic hybrid materials for specific applications. Synthesized methacrylic acid and benzoylacetone modified tin alkoxide precursors were used for the first time for the realization of directly UV-photopatternable antimony-doped tin dioxide coatings. These single-layered coatings have transmission values over 8...

Organic acids have been for long added into piglet feeds to improve gastric health and post-weaning performance and, more recently, to replace antibiotic growth promoters in these functions. Organic acids lower the buffering capacity of the feed, compensate for the poor gastric acidification and endogenous lactic acid production after weaning, and reduce the numbers of pathogens in the gastro-i...

Crystalline, yet smooth, sphere-like morphologies of small molecular compounds are desirable in a wide range of applications but are very challenging to obtain using common growth techniques, where either amorphous films or faceted crystallites are the norm. Here we show solvent-free, guard flow-assisted organic vapour jet printing of non-faceted, crystalline microspheroids of archetypal small ...

The surface coating industry is rapidly changing to meet environmental and economic pressures. Some of the changes include new formulations which meet environmental regulations, higher performance finishes with improved properties, continued development of solventless technologies such as powder coatings and radiation curable coatings, and new application methods with improved transfer efficien...

This study was conducted to develop antimicrobial coatings to decontaminate and prevent cross-contamination of shell eggs. Egg shells were inoculated with nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella enterica Enteritidis strains OB030832, OB040159, and C405 and treated with antimicrobial coatings. Polylactic acid served as a nonedible polymer, and chitosan served as an edible polymer carrier of natural ...

Montmorillonite (MMT) clay mineral is widely used as filler for several organic coatings. Its activity is increased by exfoliation via chemical modification to produce nanomaterials. In the present work, the modification of MMT to form nanogel composites is proposed to increase the dispersion of MMT into epoxy matrices used to fill cracks and holes produced by the curing exotherms of epoxy resi...

Hybrid sol-gel coatings, named U(X):TEOS, based on ureasilicate matrices (U(X)) enriched with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), were synthesized. The influence of TEOS addition was studied on both the structure of the hybrid sol-gel films as well as on the electrochemical properties. The effect of TEOS on the structure of the hybrid sol-gel films was investigated by solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonan...
