Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of nanocomposites of silver and bacterial or vegetable cellulosic fibers
Ricardo J.B. Pinto,Paula A.A.P. Marques,Carlos Pascoal Neto,Tito Trindade,Sara Daina,Patrizia Sadocco +5 more
TL;DR: It is anticipated that the versatile use of these cellulose-based nanocomposites can bring a promising strategy to produce a wide range of interesting materials where antibacterial properties are crucial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioinspired antimicrobial and biocompatible bacterial cellulose membranes obtained by surface functionalization with aminoalkyl groups.
Susana C. M. Fernandes,Susana C. M. Fernandes,Patrizia Sadocco,Ana Alonso-Varona,Teodoro Palomares,Arantxa Eceiza,Armando J. D. Silvestre,Iñaki Mondragon,Carmen S. R. Freire +8 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, these novel grafted bacterial cellulose membranes (BC-NH2) are simultaneously lethal against S. aureus and E. coli and nontoxic to human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) and thus may be useful for biomedical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrostatic assembly of Ag nanoparticles onto nanofibrillated cellulose for antibacterial paper products
Natércia C.T. Martins,Carmen S. R. Freire,Ricardo J.B. Pinto,Susana C. M. Fernandes,Carlos Pascoal Neto,Armando J. D. Silvestre,Jessica Causio,Giovanni Baldi,Patrizia Sadocco,Tito Trindade +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, composites of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and Ag nanoparticles (NP) were prepared for the first time via the electrostatic assembly of Ag NP (aqueous colloids) onto NFC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) and wheat straw fibre composites: thermal, mechanical properties and biodegradation behaviour
TL;DR: The addition of straw fibres has been found to increase the rate of PHBV crystallisation, while it does not affect the crystallinity content, and the comparison of the mechanical properties has shown that the composites exhibit higher Young moduli and lower values of both the stress and strain to break than the neat matrix of PHV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of optically transparent nanocomposite films based on chitosan or its derivatives and silver nanoparticles
Ricardo J.B. Pinto,Susana C. M. Fernandes,Carmen S. R. Freire,Patrizia Sadocco,Jessica Causio,Carlos Pascoal Neto,Tito Trindade +6 more
TL;DR: This research provides a basis for the evaluation of chitosan/silver composites in applications requiring flexible films with tuned optical properties and antimicrobial activity.
