Incorporating nanoparticles into denture materials shows promise for the prevention of denture-associated fungal infections. This study investigates antifungal properties acrylic modified with microwave-sintered ZnO-Ag nanoparticles. (1% and 2.5% wt.) were synthesized via microwave solvothermal synthesis (MSS). Nanoparticles characterized phase purity, specific surface area (SSA), density, morphology, elemental composition. ZnO added to material (PMMA) at concentrations 1% polymerized. Pure PMMA (control) obtained PMMA-nanocomposites cut homogeneous 10 × mm samples. Antifungal activity against C. albicans was tested using minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination, biofilm formation assessed crystal violet staining followed by absorbance measurements. Laboratory tests confirmed purity uniform, spherical particle distribution. MIC results show Ag PMMA-2.5% (ZnO-1% Ag) nanocomposite. PMMA-1% nanocomposite are efficient in preventing formation. However, showed antibiofilm activity, PMMA-ZnO does not protect deposition. hybrid is a promising method, especially ZnO-1%

Abstract The present study reports the synthesis of ZnMn₂O₄ nanoparticles via sol-gel method using tragacanth gum (TG) as a stabilizer. investigation used XRD and FTIR analyses were performed to determine structural characteristics. analysis found Zn-O Mn-O vibration peaks which demonstrate presence ZnMn₂O₄. band gap energy for synthesized through Tauc’s plot is 1.45 eV. pattern confirmed formation with spinel tetragonal structure an average crystallite size 17.7 nm. electron microscopic images showed that product consisted irregularly shaped spherical particles. Sample EDX shows material contain Zn, Mn alongside O in their composition. antibacterial activity ZnMn2O4 was tested Gram negative positive bacteria namely Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis Staphylococcus aureus Cereus. results suggest compound has high potential against some bacteria, especially E. coli cereus could be considered alternative or complement conventional antibiotics. we observed by photocatalysis effective degradation RC. Keywords: Spinel, activity, Biosynthesis, ZnMn2O4, gel.

Water pollution associated with antibiotic residues and colored organic pollutants leads to various potential risks human health the environment. This work develops an economical method that is suitable for removing both from water. The oxidation process based on a noble metal (Ag)-doped zinc oxide photocatalyst (Ag-ZnO) was selected as strategy investigation. Besides, tetracycline (A-Tc) methylene blue-colored (D-Mb) were target contaminants. With light assistance, Ag-ZnO showed significantly improved degradation efficiency A-Tc D-Mb at 90.6 97.3%, respectively. advantages of are also confirmed by faster rate constants, which more than twice fast those undoped sample. mineralization shows 93.5% 98.7% carbon removed solutions, result suggests being converted into inorganic substances. In addition, benefits using enhance safety, reduce negative effects environment, decrease treatment costs discussed.
