Processes of Obtaining Nanostructured Materials with a Hierarchical Porous Structure on the Example of Alginate Aerogels

mycolabadmin

Scientists created lightweight, sponge-like materials called aerogels made from alginate (a substance derived from seaweed) with special internal structures. They tested three different techniques to create these structures: using soap-like surfactants, using a plant protein called zein, and using pressurized carbon dioxide. Each method produced materials with different pore sizes and characteristics, making them suitable for different medical applications like delivering medications slowly or growing cells for tissue repair.

Chitosan extraction from Amanita phalloides: yield, crystallinity, degree of deacetylation, azo dye removal and antibacterial properties

mycolabadmin

Scientists successfully extracted chitosan, a useful natural polymer, from the death cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides). This chitosan showed excellent ability to remove blue dye from water and killed harmful bacteria effectively. The extraction method was efficient and eco-friendly, making it a promising solution for cleaning polluted water and developing antibacterial products.

Functionalized Micellar Membranes from Medicinal Mushrooms as Promising Self-Growing Bioscaffolds

Researchers created special membranes from medicinal mushrooms that could be used for wound healing and skin repairs. These membranes were grown in laboratory conditions and then treated with mango peel extract, which gave them antimicrobial properties to fight bacteria. The membranes are biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and work similar to the structure of skin tissue, making them promising for medical applications.

Fungal and Microalgal Chitin: Structural Differences, Functional Properties, and Biomedical Applications

mycolabadmin

Chitin is a natural fiber found in mushrooms, algae, and shellfish that has many medical and industrial uses. Traditional chitin from shellfish shells has environmental and contamination problems, so scientists are studying chitin from mushrooms and algae as cleaner alternatives. These sources produce chitin with different structures that can be better for certain medical applications, and can be extracted using environmentally friendly methods.

The Role of the Polyethylene Glycol in the Organization of Gold Nanorods at the Air–Water and Air–Solid Interfaces

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied how to arrange tiny gold rod-shaped particles in organized patterns. By coating these particles with different lengths of a plastic-like material called polyethylene glycol, they found they could control how the particles stack and arrange themselves. The longer the coating, the more different arrangements were possible. This discovery could help create better materials for detecting specific molecules and improving various technological applications.
