Summary: Diabetic chronic wounds are characterized by prolonged and disorganized stages compared to normal wound healing. Natural polymer hydrogels, with their high water content and biocompatibility, show great potential as wound dressings. Natural bioactive hydrogels loaded with compounds such as antibacterials and antioxidants can modulate inflammation and adhere to wounded tissue, providing promising applications for diabetic wound healing. Natural bioactive compounds like polyphenols, polysaccharides, and proteins have multiple advantages in promoting chronic wound healing in diabetes, including their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-allergic, and wound healing properties.

Summary: In this study, antimicrobial nanocomposite films were fabricated using biocompatible polymers sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and sodium alginate (SA) reinforced with nanosilver (Ag) and graphene oxide (GO) using the solvent casting approach. The addition of GO increased the thermal and mechanical performance of the CMC/SA/Ag-GO nanocomposites. The CMC/SA/Ag-GO2% nanocomposite exhibited the highest zone of inhibition against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Furthermore, the CMC/SA/Ag-GO nanocomposites showed excellent antibacterial activity due to the synergistic effects of GO and Ag, and their cytotoxic activity was also assessed for biocompatibility evaluation.

Summary: In this study, the effects of CaCl2 and SrCl2 as ionic crosslinkers on alginate- and cellulose-based materials were compared. Results showed that Sr2 crosslinked scaffolds had higher compressive strength, faster swelling, slower degradation, and rougher surface. Both crosslinking agents were non-toxic to cells and allowed stable culture for 30 days, but Sr2 crosslinked scaffolds exhibited higher metabolic activity. Overall, Sr2 is a viable alternative to Ca2 for crosslinking.

Summary: The mechanisms, activity, and selectivity of the acid-supported transition metal rate catalyst (NiMo/Al2O3) for the hydrogenation, hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), and defunctionalization of lignin model compounds were investigated. The commercially available NiMo/Al2O3 intermediates showed strong acidity, which did not promote complete bond saturation but instead favored the formation of higher molecular weight compositions. The study provides insights for understanding and optimizing efficient valorization processes.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
