In the early 2000s, a method for cross-linking cyclodextrins (CDs) with citric acid (CTR) was
developed. This method was nontoxic, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive compared …

For over 20 years, nanostructured porous silicon (nanoPS) has found a vast number of
applications in the broad fields of photonics and optoelectronics, triggered by the discovery …

In the last few years, chitosan-based coatings have been proposed as antibacterial surfaces
for biomedical devices in order to prevent nosocomial infections. In that sense, this work …

One of the main applications of porous silicon (PSi) in biomedicine is drug release, either as
a single material or as a part of a composite. PSi composites are attractive candidates for …

In regenerative medicine, stem-cell-based therapy often requires a scaffold to deliver cells
and/or growth factors to the injured site. Porous silicon (pSi) is a promising biomaterial for …

The design and engineering of antibacterial materials are key for preventing bacterial
adherence and proliferation in biomedical and household instruments. Silver nanoparticles …

Oxidized hyaluronic acid cross-linked with adipic acid dihydrazide (oxi-HA/ADH) forms an
injectable and biocompatible hydrogel suitable for treatment of musculoskeletal diseases …

In recent years, a common strategy, to obtain more uniform and controlled synthesis of
polyelectrolytes multilayers (PEMs), relies on a previous polyethylenimine (PEI) coating of …

Oxygen plasma treatment on porous silicon (p‐Si) surfaces was studied as a practical and
effective means to modify wetting properties of as‐fabricated p‐Si surfaces, that is, contact …

The proinflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), is elevated in several
diseases such as uveitis, rheumatoid arthritis and non-healing chronic wounds. Adding …
