Summary: Graphene oxide (GO)/hydroxyapatite (HA) composite coatings were successfully prepared on titanium substrates using electrophoretic deposition technology. The coating's microstructure, phase composition, adhesion strength, hydrophilicity, corrosion resistance, bioactivity, antibacterial activity, and biocompatibility were evaluated. The adhesive strength of the coating increased by 76% when the GO content increased from 0 wt% to 12 wt%, and the corrosion rate reached its minimum at (1.493 x 10-3mm/a) with 8 wt% GO. Biomineralization experiments demonstrated the excellent bioactivity of the GO/HA composite coatings. The water contact angle of the composite coatings increased from 20.6 degrees (0 wt% GO) to 38.1 degrees (12 wt% GO). The antibacterial rate of the coating with 5 wt% GO was 96.7%, but decreased to 25% after thermal treatment. In-vitro L929 cell culture experiments confirmed the biocompatibility of the composite coatings with 5 wt% GO.

Summary: This study investigates the conversion of lignin from poplar into carbon fibers and its importance. The researchers found that the Aqueous Lignin Purification with Hot Agents (ALPHA) process could effectively purify and fractionate hybrid poplar lignin. The resulting high molecular weight fraction had very low sugar and ash content, and could be spun into stable carbon fibers. The strength and modulus of these carbon fibers were double those achieved with neat poplar lignin, and the stabilization time was reduced by a factor of five.

Summary: In this study, zein coatings were successfully obtained on titanium substrates by electrophoretic deposition, with the coating morphology being significantly influenced by the zein content, water to ethanol ratio, process voltage, and time. Chemical treatment of the Ti substrate surface prior to deposition was found to enhance the adhesion of the coatings. Coated titanium substrates exhibited slightly lower electrochemical corrosion resistance in aqueous solution compared to uncoated substrates, and showed well-developed surface topography and hydrophilic nature.

Summary: The deliberate control of titanium surfaces, such as crack-free and white-color coatings, is crucial for a wide range of titanium applications. By using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method with different particle sizes of BaSO4 and TiO2, a crack-free white BaSO4-TiO2 coating with high density was achieved on the titanium surface. The crack-free coating was achieved by reducing the shrinkage stress per unit volume acting on the coating.

Summary: Previous studies have demonstrated the complexing properties of 2-(azulen-1-yldiazenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (T) towards heavy metals (HMs) in solution. T can also be attached to electrode surfaces to form chemically modified electrodes (T-CMEs). The films of T-CMEs exhibited insulating properties with a thickness of approximately 10 μm, an active surface area about 6 times larger than the geometrical one, and a conductivity of about 10(-6) S/cm. Voltammetric techniques revealed the reversible anodic and cathodic redox CV peaks for the polymer, while spectroelectrochemistry showed intensified charge transport through polarons due to the anodic polarization of the film.

Summary: A novel two-compartment model for drug release was proposed, using general fractional derivatives of a specific type and distributed order. Earlier models in pharmacokinetics with fractional derivatives are special cases of the proposed model. The model was applied to study the release of gentamicin from different hydrogels and coatings, and showed good agreement with experimental data. The form of the general fractional derivatives used in the model improves the approximation of experimental data with a slightly more complex numerical procedure.
