摘要: The present invention relates to a substrate comprising a plurality of integrally formed surface features, said surface features being micro-sized and/or nano-sized, said surface features comprising at least one pointed terminus. As a result of this unique surface, said substrate exhibits a biocidal activity because the terminal ends of said surface feature pierce through cell membrane of any microbial cell that comes into contact with the substrate, thereby causing cell deformation and lysis. The present invention also relates to a method producing said substrate. By a simple treatment of copper or zinc foil with a reagent solution comprising an alkali and an oxidizing agent, Cu(OH)2 nanotube arrays, CuO nano-blades and ZnO nano-needles are prepared. These surfaces are proven to be very effective in killing bacterial (such as E. coli) via a physical interaction.

摘要: A coating comprising a metal-organic framework, wherein the metal-organic framework having a zeolitic structure comprising at least one multivalent metal species and at least one organic ligand (such as zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)). Said coating has a topography comprising an array of projections, and each projection having at least one tapered distal end. There is also provided a method of coating substrates with the disclosed coating and use of said coating as a disinfectant, an antiseptic, or an antibiotic. Such use is possible because the tapered distal end of the disclosed zeolitic structure exerting higher pressure on any microbial cell that comes into contact with the disclosed coating, thereby piercing through the cell membrane more easily, causing cell deformation and lysis.

摘要: The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing an optionally substituted furoic acid by dehydrating a biomass and oxidizing the optionally substituted furan derived from the dehydration reaction. Water extraction has been incorporated as a step between the dehydration and the oxidation in order to purify the intermediate optionally substituted furan before having it oxidized. Prior to this water extraction, the organic solvent used for dehydration may be separated by evaporation. The provision of the water extraction allows impurities to be separated from the intermediate optionally substituted furan.

摘要: There is provided a one-pot process for the conversion of sugars to furancarboxylic acids, such as 2,5-furancarboxylic acid (FDCA), in a triphasic system (e.g. water or tetraethylammonium bromide (TEAB)—methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK)—water). In this reaction setup, sugars are first converted to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in a first phase. Then HMF is then extracted into a second phase and transferred to a third phase of water. In the third phase HMF is converted to the furancarboxylic acid. The overall acid yields obtainable are between about 78% and 50% for conversion from fructose and glucose, respectively. The invention further relates to an apparatus for the triphasic reaction. The apparatus comprises two chambers which allow for the chemically separated reaction of the sugars and the intermediate of the sugars to form the final product in one process. The process according to the invention may be useful for industrial fabrication.

摘要: The invention relates to a method of preparing a metal oxide/metal composite, comprising depositing a metal oxide from a dispersion in a liquid on a metal surface; or depositing a metal oxide in the presence of a metal from a dispersion in a liquid on a substrate; or depositing a metal oxide from a metal salt solution on a metal substrate. The metal oxide/metal composites obtained by the process show synergistic antimicrobial activity due to release of high concentrations of redox active species (ROS) at the metal oxide/metal heterojunction. The invention also relates to use of the metal oxide/metal composite as an antimicrobial coating.
