Summary: The study aimed to create a BPO nanoemulgel formulation to enhance its antibacterial properties. The formulation was prepared by combining BPO nanoemulsion with Carbopol hydrogel, and its solubility was tested in different oils and surfactants. The results showed that the nanoemulgel formulation had better antimicrobial activity against bacteria and acne compared to the market product. In conclusion, nanoemulgel is a promising approach for delivering BPO as it improves drug stability and antibacterial efficacy.

Summary: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit a remarkable catalytic effect on the decomposition of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) in ethanol. The decomposition of BPO by CNTs occurs via a free-radical pathway involving benzoate radicals. Multi-walled CNTs and single-walled CNTs contain persistent free radicals (PFRs) with strong electron-transfer ability.

Summary: In this study, the thermal decomposition behavior of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and its reaction with toluene and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were investigated. The results showed that NaOH improved the thermal stability of BPO while toluene facilitated its decomposition. This research is important for understanding the thermal hazards of BPO and ensuring the safety of industrial processes.

Summary: Two new Cu(II) complexes with good water solubility were synthesized and characterized in this study. The complexes showed strong inhibitory activity against bacteria and cancer cells, potentially related to their interaction with DNA. In addition, the complexes induced apoptosis in cells through DNA damage and ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction pathways. Moreover, in vivo studies demonstrated that one of the complexes inhibited tumor growth more effectively than cisplatin.

Summary: In this study, a fluorescent probe based on a europium metal organic framework (Eu-MOF) was developed for the detection of excessive benzoyl peroxide (BPO) in food. The probe showed a strong fluorescence emission and could be effectively quenched by BPO. A portable and user-friendly detection platform was designed, combining traditional test strip and smartphone color recognition capabilities.

Summary: The thermal decomposition of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), revealing its autocatalytic properties through mathematical methods and kinetic analysis. Results showed that BPO exhibited autocatalysis in thermal history and isothermal experiments, with the initial decomposition temperature decreasing as interruption temperature increased.

Summary: Metal- and peroxide-free silicone rubbers were synthesized via a reaction between amino-containing poly(dimethylsiloxanes) and iodine-containing polysiloxanes. The equimolar ratio of NH2 groups to the I-containing moiety (1:1) showed the highest cross-linking density. The obtained silicone rubbers exhibited antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, making them suitable for applications in biomedicine and the food industry as antibacterial coatings and materials.
