Access to potable water is currently a major concern due to population growth and the decline in clean water sources. One of the most important processes applied during the treatment of water, is the removal of pathogens as bacteria due that can reduce the preventable mortality of infectious intestinal diseases. Previous studies on the manufacture of films based on rutile-phase titanium dioxide nanoparticles...
An in vitro model of the small intestinal epithelium was utilized to model changes in glucose transport caused by exposure to 30 nm titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Glucose transport across the intestinal model was significantly lower with exposure to titanium dioxide nanoparticles. In the presence of the beneficial bacterium L. rhamnosus, however, these changes were no longer observed. These results...
The main purpose of this study was to develop a TiO2/PLGA composite biomaterial for artificial dressing applications. E. coli and S. aureus were used as biological indicators for the disinfection efficiency of the proposed TiO2/PLGA composite. Various concentration ratios of TiO2 verse PLGA were implemented to optimize the disinfection efficiency of the composite biomaterial. Cell seedings of BECs...
