Enhancing the Performance of PLA Nonwoven Fabrics Through Plasma Treatments for Superior Active-Molecule Retention
Published on 2025-05-27 by Norma Mallegni, Serena Coiai, Francesca Cicogna, Luca Panariello, Caterina Cristallini, Stefano Caporali, Elisa Passaglia @MDPI
Abstract: Polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising biobased polymer celebrated for its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and advantageous mechanical properties. However, its inherent hydrophobicity and lack of hydrophilic functional groups restrict its application in advanced uses, such as nonwoven fabrics (NWFs) for masks, diapers, and biomedical products. This study explores the application of cold plasma treatments to modify the surface of PLA-based NWFs using oxygen and oxygen–argon gas mi[...]
Our summary: Study explores plasma treatments to modify PLA-based NWFs for superior molecule retention. Variations in power levels and exposure times were tested. Plasma treatment enhances adhesion and functionality of active ingredient for innovative applications.

Published on 2025-05-24 by Maria Pastrafidou, Evangelia C. Vouvoudi, Vassilios Binas, Ioannis A. Kartsonakis @MDPI
Abstract: Superabsorbent core/shell composite materials are a type of advanced materials presenting enhanced water absorption and retention capabilities. The central core material can swell and absorb water covered by a shell that serves a specific function. The composition and functionality of each layer can be tailored to improve the material’s performance. The core is typically fabricated from superabsorbent polymers such as sodium polyacrylate, poly(acrylic acid) or other hydrophilic mat[...]
Our summary: This review discusses the synthesis, design, and applications of superabsorbent core/shell composite materials, highlighting their tailored structure and potential for various fields. It also explores characterization techniques and future perspectives, including stimuli-responsive behavior and scalability.

Computational exploration of the global microbiome for antibiotic discovery
Patent published on the 2025-03-06 in WO under Ref WO2025050118 by FUDAN UNIV [CN] (De La Fuente-nunez CÉsar [us], Der Torossian Torres Marcelo [us], Pedro Fragao Bento Coelho Luis [lu], Dias Santos JÚnior CÉlio [br])
Abstract: Novel antibiotics are needed to combat the antibiotic-resistance crisis. Presented herein are machine learning-based approaches for predicting antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) within the global microbiome and leverage a vast dataset that can include metagenomes and prokaryotic genomes from environmental and host-associated habitats to create a comprehensive catalog comprising distinct, non-redundant peptides, the majority of which are novel. This platform provides insights into the evolutionary ori[...]
