New kinds of cellulose-based sorbents
Macroporous bead cellulose is an excellent matrix for sophisticated applications in many diverse areas including analytical chemistry, enzyme engineering or biotechnology, where its hydrophilic nature, high porosity and mechanical as well as chemical resistance are
Read moreNanoporous polymeric membranes prepared by electro-spinning
Commercial polymeric thin film membranes show poor water permeability. Nano-fiber membranes prepared by electrostatic spinning have a much higher porosity due to their unique interconnected structure of nanofibers. In addition, this technology enables to control

Problem: Chronic surface wound infections such as venous or diabetic ulcers are a very common disease affecting 1-2% of the population with a marked increase in the incidence of seniors with diabetes and circulatory problems
Read moreNanoparticulate reactive sorbents
These so-called reactive sorbents are able not only to retain various toxic substances on their surface, but also to decompose them to non-toxic or less-toxic residua. The reactive sorbents are effective in the decomposition of

We develop nanofibrous materials ideal for wound dressings. Our material is based on photocrosslinked nanofibers made of natural polymer chitosan. Used technology is fully compatible with a commercial mass production. We further work on addition
Read moreChemical and physical characterization of nanoparticles
In a blood stream nanoparticles can be degrade or strongly interact with proteins those events can effectively prevent nanoparticles to penetrate through cell membranes. Even nanoparticles will be successfully delivered to the cell they have

Aim of developed technology Molecular modeling of drug carriers for gene therapy Molecular modeling of polymeric nanofibers modified with antimicrobial agents
Read moreApplication of modified magnetic sorbents for removal of organic pollutants from water
Problem: Organic pollutants in the aquatic environment disrupt ecosystems, have an impact on the health of organisms and, as a result, cause economic losses. Solution: A magnetic sorbent based on Fe3O4 microparticles was developed, subsequently
Read moreAnalysis of the impact of nanoparticle systems on model cell lines
Hand in hand with new, diverse applications of nanostructures, such as nanoparticles (NPs), which show tremendous potential especially in biomedicine, raise questions about their possible negative effects on living organisms. In vitro cell cultures are
