Challenges, Strategies, and Recommendations for the Huge Surge in Plastic and Medical Waste during the Global COVID-19 Pandemic with Circular Economy Approach
Targol Teymourian, Termeh Teymoorian, Elaheh Kowsari, Seeram Ramakrishna - Materials Circular Economy,  2021 - Springer Singapore
After December 2019, the globe was affected by a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes severe respiratory illnesses, which is responsible for increasing environmental problem consequences related to the extra consumption of medical waste and single-use plastics (such as personal protective equipment (PPE) and packaging plastics).

Development of plasma functionalized polypropylene wound dressing for betaine hydrochloride controlled drug delivery on diabetic wounds
Leila Zahedi, Pedram Ghourchi Beigi, Mojtaba Shafiee, Fatemeh Zare, Hamed Mahdikia, Majid Abdouss, Mohammad-Amin Abdollahifar & Babak Shokri - Scientific Reports,  2021 - nature.com
Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most worrying issues among illnesses, and its chronic subsequences almost refer to inflammations and infections. The loading and local release of antioxidants to wounds may decrease inflammations. However, the low wettability of …

Fabrication and characterization of pH-responsive poly (methacrylic acid)-based molecularly imprinted polymers nanosphere for controlled release of amitriptyline hydrochloride
A Mohebali, M Abdouss, Y Kazemi, Sh Daneshnia - Polymers for Advanced Technologies,  2021 - Wiley Online Library
Amitriptyline hydrochloride (AT) is a drug used especially for depression and migraines. In this study, new molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared as a drug carrier for AT to increase the half‐life of the drug and consequently reducing drug‐related problems …

Fabrication of Bio-Nanocomposite Based on HNT-Methionine for Controlled Release of Phenytoin
M Abdouss, N Radgoudarzi, A Mohebali, E Kowsari - Polymers,  2021 - mdpi.com
In this study, a novel promising approach for the fabrication of Halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposites, based on the amino acid named Methionine (Met), was investigated. For this purpose, Met layered on the outer silane functionalized surface of HNT for controlled …

Polyoxomolybdate368 /polyaniline nanocomposite as a novel fiber for solid‐phase microextraction of antidepressant drugs in biological samples
HS Amoli, Y Yamini, H Darmani - Journal of separation science,  2020 - Wiley Online Library
A novel solid‐phase microextraction fiber was synthesized by coating a stainless steel wire with polyoxomolybdate368/polyaniline as a sorbent aimed at extraction of amitriptyline, nortriptyline, and doxepin as antidepressant drugs from urine and blood samples. The …

Synthesis and characterization of paclitaxel-imprinted nanoparticles for recognition and controlled release of an anticancer drug
Fatemeh Azizi Ishkuh, Mehran Javanbakht, Mehdi Esfandyari-Manesh, Rassoul Dinarvand & Fatemeh Atyabi - Journal of Materials Science,  2014 - Springer
Imprinted nanoparticles as drug delivery carriers have been considered because owing to their cross-linked network, they act as the drug reservoir for controlled release. In this study, selective MIPs nanoparticles of paclitaxel (PTX) were successfully developed for application …
