The Covid-19 pandemic has increased the need for personal protective equipment (PPE), especially for medical personnel: face masks, full protective clothing, gloves and goggles. To date, they are usually made of thermoplastic polymers, such as polypropylene (PP). To reduce the risk of secondary infections it is essential to enhance the antimicrobial (especially antibacterial and antiviral) properties of the materials used in PPE. There are some attempts to modify materials by, for example, silver nanoparticles or zinc oxides. The increasing demand for personal protective equipment, mostly masks, leads to an increase of environmental problem of non-biodegradable wastes. Therefore some researches on use of safer for user’s health sustainable antimicrobial and biodegradable biopolymer fibers, such as cellulose, starch, chitosan, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) or poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), have been done. These biopolymers and their properties are discussed in this article.

Pandemia Covid-19 zwiększyła zapotrzebowanie na środki ochrony osobistej (PPE), zwłaszcza dla personelu medycznego. Dotyczy to przede wszystkim maseczek, ale również odzieży ochronnej, rękawic, czy gogli. Obecnie wykonuje się je najczęściej z termoplastycznych polimerów, np. polipropylenu (PP). W celu poprawy właściwości przeciwbakteryjnych i przeciwwirusowych stosowanych materiałów, dokonuje się prób modyfikacji ich za pomocą np. nanocząstek srebra lub tlenków cynku. Zwiększenie zapotrzebowania na środki ochrony osobistej, zwłaszcza na maseczki, prowadzi do zwiększenia ilości odpadów, w dużej mierze nie biodegradowalnych. W celu rozwiązania tego problemu oraz poprawy właściwości przeciwbakteryjnych i przeciwwirusowych materiałów z użyciem bezpieczniejszych dla zdrowia użytkowników substancji, prowadzi się badania nad wykorzystaniem włókien z biopolimerów, takich jak celuloza, skrobia, chitozan, poli(kwas mlekowy) (PLA) lub poli(kwas glikolowy) (PGA). Właściwości antybakteryjne i antywirusowe, a także zagadnienia biodegradowalności tych biopolimerów, zostały omówione w niniejszym artykule.

A comparison of poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(l-lactide)/hydroxyapatite (PLLA/HAp) biocomposite microspheres fabricated by emulsion solvent evaporation technique designed for laser sintering (LS) applications is presented. Key properties such as thermal and structural as well as geometry, size distribution and powder flowability, which are crucial for this technique, are characterized to validate the applicability of microspheres for LS. The biocomposite microspheres turns out to be more suitable for the LS process than PLLA due to the higher thermal stability, broader sintering window and higher powder flowability.

Porównano właściwości mikrosfer z poli(l-laktydu) (PLLA) i z biokompozytu poli(l-laktyd)/ hydroksyapatyt (PLLA/HAp), przygotowanych metodą emulsyjną z odparowaniem rozpuszczalnika, przeznaczonych do procesu spiekania laserowego (LS). W celu weryfikacji przydatności mikrosfer do LS scharakteryzowano kluczowe dla tej techniki właściwości: termiczne i strukturalne oraz geometrię, rozkład wymiarów i sypkość proszku. Wykazano, iż mikrosfery biokompozytowe wykazują lepsze właściwości predestynujące je do przetwarzania metodą LS niż mikrosfery PLLA, w tym większą stabilność termiczną, szersze okno parametrów spiekania i większą sypkość proszku.

Content available remote Ultra small clusters of gold nanoshells detected by SNOM
EN
Metal nanoshells are a type of nanoparticle composed by a dielectric core and a metallic coating. These nanoparticles have stimulated interest due to their remarkable optical properties. In common with metal colloids, they show distinctive absorption peaks at specific wavelengths due to surface plasmon resonance. However, unlike bare metal colloids, the wavelengths at which resonance occurs can be tuned by changing the core radius and coating thickness. One basic application of such property is in medicine, where it is hoped that nanoshells with absorption peaks in the near-infrared can be attached to cancerous cells. In this paper, we study the changes of optical response in visible and near infrared wavelengths from single to randomly distributed clusters of nanoshells. The results were obtained using a novel formulation of Mie theory in evanescent wave conditions, with a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation and experimentally on BaTiO3-gold nanoshells using a scanning near-optical microscope. The results show that the optical signal of a randomly distributed cluster of nanoshells can be supplementary tuned with respect to the case of single nanoshell depending by the geometric configuration of the clusters.

In the present work, segmented thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) containing hard segments of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and soft segments comprising amorphous fatty acid ester sequences based on dilinoleic acid (DLA) were synthesized. The aim was to obtain transparent materials with high strength and flexibility. Thermal properties of the obtained PET/DLA copolymers were examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that segmental composition and new type of catalyst used for the synthesis of PET/DLA copolymers has influence on materials transparency.

W ramach pracy zsyntezowano multiblokowe poliestrowe elastomery termoplastyczne (TPE), zawierające segmenty sztywne, takie jak w poli(tereftalanie etylenu) (PET), i segmenty giętkie zawierające amorficzne kwasy tłuszczowe na bazie kwasu dilinoleinowego (DLA). Celem było uzyskanie przezroczystych materiałów o dużej wytrzymałości i elastyczności. Właściwości termiczne otrzymanych kopolimerów PET/DLA zbadano za pomocą różnicowej kalorymetrii skaningowej (DSC). Stwierdzono, że wielkość udziału segmentów sztywnych i giętkich oraz zastosowanie nowego typu katalizatora do syntezy kopolimerów PET/DLA ma istotny wpływ na przeźroczystość materiałów, a tym samym na ich właściwości użytkowe.

Content available remote Fabrication of ternary Ca-Mg-Zn bulk metallic glasses
EN
Purpose: The paper describes the preparation, structure and thermal properties of ternary Ca-Mg-Zn bulk metallic glass in form of as-cast rods. Design/methodology/approach: The investigations on the ternary Ca-Mg-Zn glassy rods were conducted by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS). Findings: The X-ray diffraction investigations have revealed that the studied as-cast rod was amorphous. The fractures of studied alloy could be classified as mixed fracture with indicated “river” and “smooth” fractures. Both type of the fracture surfaces consist of weakly formed “river” and “shell” patterns and “smooth” regions. The “river” patterns are characteristic for metallic glassy alloys. Practical implications: The studied Ca-based bulk metallic glasses is a relatively new group of material. Ca-based bulk metallic glasses are applied for many applications in different elements. Ca-based bulk metallic glasses have many unique properties such as low density (~2.0 g/cm³), low Youn g’s modulus ( ~20 to 30 GPa). The elastic modulus of Ca-b ased BMGs is comparable to that of hum an bone s, and Ca, Mg, and Zn are biocompatible. These features make the Ca-Mg-Zn–based alloys attractive for use in biomedical applications. Originality/value: Fabrication of amorphous alloy in the form of rod ternary Ca-Mg-Zn alloy by pressure die casting method.

Fluorescence is one of the most commonly used methods of biodetection, mainly due to the high sensitivity, non-invasiveness, simplicity, and also due to the availability of the whole range of powerful light sources, a wide range of photodetectors, and numerous and sensitive measuring methods. From the point of view of biodetection and bioimaging, the important characteristics of such fluorophores are large Stokes shift, narrow absorption/emission lines as well as stable and efficient luminescence. Traditional organic dyes applied in biology reveal very fast photobleaching and limited opportunities for simultaneous detection of many biomolecules, what stimulate development of new fluorescent markers. Fast and intensive development of nanotechnology and chemical engineering observed in recent years, aims at designing the nanophosphors or luminescent nanoplatforms, that demonstrate desirable properties and devised functionality. However, new phosphors are not included yet in broad practical applications, mainly because of the need to adapt the measuring apparatus so as to fully exploit their potential. From among the fluorescent nano-particles, silica dye doped nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanocolloidal metallic nanoparticles, and lanthanide doped nanoluminophores show the largest application potential. This article discusses the unique physico-chemical properties of lanthanide doped nanoparticles, which beside very long luminescence lifetimes and narrow emission bands, enable to obtain a visible emission under the near infrared photoexcitation (called anti-Stokes emission), offering improved sensitivity, stability, repeatability and accuracy of the fluorescent biodetection and bioimaging methods. In this review, physico-chemical properties of lanthanide doped nanoluminophores and many examples of their biological applications have been discussed. The first chapter presents spectral characteristics of rare-earth ions with particular regard to the mechanism of energy transfer and up-conversion, which is a fundamental difference and the decisive advantage compared with other known fluorescent markers. The luminescent properties of lantanides are demonstrated based on the most commonly used nanomaterials singly doped with Eu^3+ and Tb^3+ and the codoped matrices, like Yb^3+-Tm^3+, Yb^3+-Er^3+or Yb^3+-Ho^3+ co-doped phosphores. The features of these materials are best suited from the point of view of biodetection and bioimaging. The next chapter gives an overview of the applications of lanthanide doped nanoluminophores in biological sciences. Different types of hetero-/homo-genous tests and luminesce based sensors for pH, CO_2, the level of glucose, and other analytes are presented. Then, basic aspects of bioimaging, photodynamic and thermo-therapy, nanotermometry as well as nano-bio-technology platforms have been summarized. In conclusion suggestions of new research directions and new biological applications of lanthanide doped nanoparticles have been presented.

The paper discusses the importance of proper detection of color vision disorders, not only in professional [5, 13, 17], but also in everyday life [14, 15] and describes the interactive method for detecting colorblindness shown in Fig. 1. This method can be used both as a diagnostic tool (e.g. for improving the process of medical examination of candidates for drivers [13]) or for creating the database containing information about people with color vision disorders, allowing further research on the subject. The latter is especially important concerning all introduced or planned legal regulations on granting access to public information for anyone regardless of any criteria (e.g. disability) [11]. The author analyses the usage of XML for sharing data gathered by applications using the described interactive method for detecting color vision disorders. The possibilities of using other means offered by the XML standard, such as RSS channels or generating SVG charts are also discussed.
