Summary: This paper reports the effect of silver doping on the interaction between a silica-based bioactive glass and albumin and fibronectin. The presence of silver significantly increases the adsorption of albumin and fibronectin and leads to a higher loss of secondary structure. It is also observed that proteins are embedded inside the surface reaction layer during adsorption due to the formation of a hydrated silica gel layer.

Summary: This study aims to couple a chemically treated Ti6Al4V surface with alpha-TP to confer local antibacterial activity for orthopedic and dental prosthetic devices. The coating of alpha-TP resulted in a continuous and homogeneous surface with hydrophilicity and effective antibacterial behavior. On the other hand, the functionalized surface showed poor antibacterial properties and hydrophobic behavior. Cytocompatibility evaluation demonstrated that the coating treatment was more compatible with human mesenchymal stem cells compared to the functionalization.

Summary: Corrosion is a significant problem for steel, and research has focused on developing effective corrosion prevention strategies. Commonly used corrosion inhibitors can be harmful, so there is interest in finding natural alternatives. Polyphenols, derived from plants or agricultural by-products, have been investigated for their rust conversion and corrosion prevention properties. This review discusses the use of polyphenols as rust converters, in green anticorrosive coatings, and as active components in corrosion-inhibiting primers. Polyphenolic additives in coatings are also explored as sustainable systems to improve corrosion resistance.

Summary: This study presents a novel approach for fabricating bioactive glass reinforced scaffolds using 3D printing technology. The composite scaffold, made from a bio-based acrylate resin derived from soybean oil and a reactive diluent called isobornyl acrylate, showed improved mechanical behavior compared to traditional mould-synthetized samples. The addition of bioactive glass particles did not significantly affect the curing process or the cytocompatibility of the scaffold, but resulted in higher metabolic activity and increased cell attachment on the scaffold surfaces.

Summary: In this study, the piezoelectric-like behavior of BiOBr nanosheets was used to suppress the recombination of photoexcited charges and achieve efficient degradation of the drug ibuprofen. The results showed that the combination of ultrasound and solar light irradiation on the BiOBr nanosheets had better catalytic performance compared to individual photocatalysis and piezocatalysis approaches, resulting in complete mineralization in less than 30 minutes. The study proposed a possible piezo-photocatalytic mechanism and identified the active species involved in the degradation process.

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.
