The demand for new antimicrobial products is increasing due to the increase treat in the spread of infections and the reduction in the effectiveness of the existing industrial products. Antimicrobial coatings are used in medical products, devices, and surfaces in medical facilities to prevent the spread of infections. These coatings are durable and can continue to perform even through regular, repeated water exposure and cleaning. Moreover, antimicrobial coatings can prevent germ growth for m...
CEREBRO was designed according to the principles of discovery-based science and aims to comprehensively describe and characterize the acute, sub-chronic, and after-effects of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) on the composition of the secretome in the prefrontal cortex of adult male Wistar rats. iTBS is a specific type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation which provides painless and non-invasive brain stimulation and has shown promising therapeutic effects on a variety of...
The goal of the PolyHER project is to design a new type of electrode from porous conductive polymers (CPs) coated with low-cost electrocatalytic material based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC). By varying synthesis parameters, one will maximize the catalytically active site's concentration. Catalytic activity will improve additionally by milling of TMDC with additives. This way, both the conductivity and active surface of the material will increase. To get the electrode, the catalys...
The synergistic action of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as hypoallergenic carriers and Gentiana lutea root extract (GRE) with healing, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties can favourably affect skin re-epithelialization by stimulating the synthesis of proteins and lipids involved in the epidermal barrier formation. Our previous research has shown that NPs of a certain size and concentration in combination with herbal components show a better effect due to synergistic interaction compa...
Mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) is light and inexpensive ceramic material which is highly regarded as a potential candidate for fabrication of diesel particulate filters (DPFs). Highly porous, needle-like (acicular) mullite structure is fully suitable for capturing and removal of harmful particulate matter (soot) from diesel engine exhaust causing minimal pressure drop which is extremely important for smooth engine operation. At the same time filter material is expected to catalyse combustion, i.e., o...
