In particular, for patients, the existence and spreading of bacteria lead to prolonged treatment period with many more complications. The widespread use of urinary catheters is one of the main causes for the prevalence of infections. The necessity of long-term use of indwelling catheters is unavoidable in terms of the development of bacteriuria and blockage. As is known, since a permanent solution to this problem has not yet been found, research and development activities continue actively. Herein, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-like thin films were synthesized by a custom designed plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) method and the long-term effect of antifouling properties of PEG-like coated catheters was investigated against <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Proteus mirabilis</i>. The contact angle measurements have revealed the increase of wettability with the increase of plasma exposure time. The antifouling activity of surface-coated catheters was analyzed against the Gram-negative/positive bacteria over a long-term period (up to 30 days). The results revealed that PE-CVD coated PEG-like thin films are highly capable of eliminating bacterial attachment on surfaces with relatively reduced protein attachment without having any toxic effect. Previous statements were supported with SEM, XPS, FTIR spectroscopy, and contact angle analysis.</p>","PeriodicalId":94089,"journal":{"name":"Journal of materials chemistry.

However, in the absence of dual-color probes capable of detecting both H2S and N2H4, the ability to monitor the crosstalk of these substances is restricted. Herein, we developed an ESIPT-based dual-response fluorescent probe (BDM-DNP) for H2S and N2H4 detection via dually responsive sites. The BDM-DNP possessed absorbing strength in the detection of H2S and N2H4, with a large Stokes shift (156 nm for H2S and 108 nm for N2H4), high selectivity and sensitivity, and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, BDM-DNP can be utilized for the detection of hydrogen sulfide and hydrazine in actual soil, and gaseous H2S and N2H4 in environmental systems. Notably, BDM-DNP can detect H2S and N2H4 in living cells for disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation.","PeriodicalId":94089,"journal":{"name":"Journal of materials chemistry.
