Background & Aim: Due to the prevalence of oral bacteria, their complications and increased microbial resistance and also recognition of the antibacterial properties of Polylophium involucratum, in this study, the antimicrobial properties of this plant essential oil were tested in different dilutions on oral bacteria at the Faculty of Microbiology of the Islamic Azad U...

The application of Butane tetra carboxylic acid/nano titanium dioxide [(BTCA)/Nano TiO2 (NTO)] on cotton fabric has been used to cross-linked cellulose, and yield higher NTO absorption and enhanced selfcleaning properties. In this research, the synergistic effect of BTCA and NTO on antibacterial properties of the cotton fabric was investigated. The NTO particles were stabilized on the cotton su...

in this study, a functional colorant, berberine, extracted from berberis vulgaris wood was applied onto wool fiber using the extract of roots of rumex hymenosepolus as biomordant. the effect of treatment variables on the color strength of dyed fibers was examined. the fastness properties of dyed wool against washing, light, dry and wet rubbing were evaluated. dyed samples were tested for antiba...

mastitis is one of the most costly diseases in the dairy industry. the use of antibiotics in the treatment of mastitis leads to bacterial resistance and health problems for consumers. this study aimed to determine the antibacterial properties of essential oil of thymus vulgaris on the bacteria staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli and staphylococcus were agalactia. antibacterial properties of...

The antibacterial properties of a polymeric phosphonium salt were studied to determine its suitability as an additive to develop an antibacterial dental resin. The phosphonium salt monomer studied was tri-n-butyl(4-vinylbenzyl)phosphonium chloride (VP), and acrylic acid (AC) and methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (MA) were used as controls. The antibacterial activity of these mono...

This article reviews the present state of the art in the field of flexible antibacterial coatings which efficiently kill bacteria on their surfaces. Coatings are formed using a reactive magnetron sputtering. The effect of the elemental composition and structure of the coating on its antibacterial and mechanical properties is explained. The properties of Cr-Cu-O, Al-Cu-N, and Zr-Cu-N antibacteri...

Background and purpose: Antibacterial properties of restorative materials are of great advantage as they control the progression of tooth decay. The use of self-adhesive composite materials has some benefits such as easier application and reduced treatment time. Because the antibacterial properties of restorative materials can play an important role in preventing secondary decay, especially in ...

This book chapter is organized into four major parts. Firstly, it will cover an introduction of using spinel ferrite nanoparticles in biomedical applications, including the antibacterial properties. The second part will provide an overview of the structure and magnetism of spinel ferrites. The third part will focus on the preparation of cobalt ferrite and transition metal substituted cobalt fer...

OBJECTIVES Recurrent caries was partly ascribed to lack of antibacterial properties in composite resin. Silver and zinc nanoparticles are considered to be broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of composite resins containing 1% silver and zinc-oxide nanoparticles on Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus. MATERIALS AND ME...
