Summary: This study proposes a facile method for preparing silver nanoparticles using tea extract and evaluates its antimicrobial activity. The synthesized silver nanoparticles show good antibacterial effects on Escherichia coli and Pseudopestalotiopsis theae, broadening the application of nano silver in antimicrobial agents. The reactions between silver nanoparticles and bacteria/fungi may not be driven by electrostatic interactions, but rather by intermolecular forces.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of the degree of compaction of green parts on the properties of a Graphite-5.5 vol. % Molybdenum- 0.6 vol. % Titanium composite obtained by SPS. The composite exhibits different properties depending on the direction of the applied pressure, with significantly better in-plane properties. Samples uniaxially pressed at 60 MPa show highly improved properties comparable to those obtained under extreme conditions, suggesting the potential for industrial-scale production and applications as a heat sink.
