SARS-CoV-2 is a pandemic coronavirus that causes severe respiratory disease (COVID-19) in humans and is responsible for millions of deaths around the world since early 2020. The virus affects the human respiratory cells through its spike (S) proteins located at the outer shell. To monitor the rapid spreading of SARS-CoV-2 and to reduce the deaths f...

Poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) was mixed with gentamicin sulfate via a double emulsion method, resulting in gentamicin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles that exhibited excellent antibacterial properties and great potential in fabricating smart wound dressings integrated with a drug delivery system. The nanoparticle morphologies, particle degradation r...

Shape memory materials (SMMs) in 3D printing (3DP) technology garnered much attention due to their ability to respond to external stimuli, which direct this technology toward an emerging area of research, “4D printing (4DP) technology.” In contrast to classical 3D printed objects, the fourth dimension, time, allows printed objects to undergo signif...

Polydiacetylene (PDA) is a popular macromolecule in biosensing applications. PDA-based nanofiber composite can detect pathogenic bacteria rapidly via visible blue-to-red color transition in the fiber, offering huge potential to prepare smart wound dressing that can detect bacterial infection in the wound. Due to the complexity of the bacterial cult...

A nanofiber-based polydiacetylene (PDA) biosensor was prepared with polyurethane (PU) to detect Escherichia coli. The main advantage of this PU-PDA nanofiber biosensor was the simplicity of the preparation method via electrospinning where no complex receptors were required to detect E. coli via colorimetric properties. Diacetylene monomers self-ass...
