AB  - Pertussis (whooping cough) has been nearly eradicated during the 20th century, first of all due to an organized and comprehensive vaccination campaign that lasted for decades. Generations of doctors educated in Serbia (and other countries) rarely had an opportunity to see the clinical picture of pertussis. However, during 2023, the number of registered cases of pertussis in Serbia has increased several times. This is why the health authorities were forced to declare danger of an epidemic. During 2023, in Belgrade, around 1000 cases were registered. During the two months of 2024, 400 cases were registered. Some of them have ended with lethal outcome. This paper reports for the first time the biosynthesis reaction and thermodynamic properties of biosynthesis (enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy) of Bordetella pertussis, the cause of whooping cough. Moreover, a mechanistic model of multiplication of B. pertussis was developed. The mechanistic model was related to the pathogenesis of pertussis.

AB  - The concept of photocatalytic CO2 and H2O conversion to solar fuels and value-added products provides simultaneous solution for increased energy demands and environmental problems. However, the lack of efficient photocatalysts restrains the large-scale development of photocatalytic technology. In the present study, noble (Pt and Au) and transition metal (Ni) doped nanoflakes assembled on TiO2@carbon microrods with high surface area and rutile crystal structure is prepared via fast, versatile solvothermal method. The photocatalytic performance of the prepared nanocomposites was evaluated in two photocatalytic systems: CO2 reduction and hydrogen production via photoreforming. Pt-doped catalyst showed enhanced hydrogen production efficiency and increased CH4 selectivity, while Ni-doped catalyst exhibited remarkable CO2 reduction activity with higher selectivity towards CO. The mechanism of Pt-promoted CH4 formation and Ni- and Au-promoted CO formation was thoroughly discussed regarding kinetic and thermodynamic parameters.

AB  - Similarly to a phoenix, SARS-CoV-2 has appeared periodically in waves. The new variants that appeared through mutations have suppressed earlier variants, causing new waves of the pandemic. The Omicron BA.2.86 Pirola variant is the latest in the sequence. An increased infectivity was noticed, which results in rapid spreading, as well as decreased pathogenicity, which results in a lower number of severe cases. However, in the public there is a fear of further development of the epidemic. This analysis was made with the goal to assess the risks in the period of early 2024. Mutations that were developed by the BA.2.86 variant have led to a change in empirical formula and thermodynamic properties. The empirical formula of the BA.2.86 virus particle is CH1.639023O0.284130N0.230031P0.006440S0.003765. It is different than those of other variants of SARS-CoV-2, other virus species and cellular organisms. The driving force for virus multiplication, Gibbs energy of biosynthesis, of the BA.2.86 variant is -221.75 kJ C-mol-1. It is more negative than that of its host tissue. According to the biosynthesis phenomenological equation, the more negative Gibbs energy of biosynthesis allows the virus to achieve a greater biosynthesis rate and hijack the host cell metabolism. However, Gibbs energy of biosynthesis of the BA.2.86 variant is similar to those of the CH.1.1 and XBB.1.16 variants. This means that these variants should have similar multiplications rates and thus similar pathogenicity. Therefore, it seems that there is no ground for fear of an extensive spreading of severe forms, but there are reasons for caution and monitoring of the spreading of the epidemic and potential appearance of new mutations. Moreover, unlike the earlier pandemic waves, during the newest pandemic wave, infections with influenza, RSV and BA.2.86 variant simultaneously appeared, which deserves an analysis.

AB  - For a long time, Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography (RPLC) was the most dominant
technique for the analysis of pharmaceutical compounds, but with poor efficiency in the separation of
small polar molecules. From the efforts to solve the problem of insufficient retention of these molecules,
during the last decades, a mode of liquid chromatography named Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid
Chromatography (HILIC) has experienced vast expansion. It is based on the use of a highly hydrophilic
stationary phase along with an aqueous mobile phase with high organic modifier content. In
this review, the characteristics of stationary and mobile phases used in HILIC are described, and corresponding
separation mechanisms are discussed. An overview of recently published papers dealing
with the application of HILIC in analyzing pharmaceuticals in biological and non-biological samples
is provided. Besides, the application of HILIC systems in the determination of the physicochemical
properties of compounds is described.

AB  - The aim of this paper is to provide insight into research and activities of in situ remediation to remove petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants from a contaminated aquifer’s sediment, located near two radial collector wells of a water supply system. It was decided that the most appropriate method for remediation of this aquifer’s sediment is in situ bioremediation because it is clean, efficient and sustainable technology. Before the start of the bioremediation process, it was necessary to isolate and cultivate the microorganisms present at the contamination site, so they could be later applied in the bioremediation process. The samples before and after the bioremediation were studied using both GC and GC × GC–MS to determine how the concentrations of contaminants changed over time. Additionally, in this paper, a spatiotemporal representation of the change in hydrocarbon content by depth within the zone of the highest contamination over time is shown. After 12 months of bioremediation, the hydrocarbon content in the samples decreased by 82.0%, and based on GCxGC-MS analysis, the order of degradation of various hydrocarbon groups was as follows: steranes (99.6%), isoprenoids (98.4%), benzene derivatives (98.4%), alkanes (97.2%), and terpenes (49.3%). The exponential decay model showed the greatest decomposition rate of hydrocarbons occurred at depths of 8–10 m, with an average decay constant of 0.227, independent of the initial concentration of hydrocarbons. To the best of our knowledge, to date, the described approach has not been applied to an aquifer (the simultaneous treatment of groundwater and its associated sediment layers).

AB  - Five celestine crystals are sampled from the (paleo)surface intervening between the late Miocene to Pleistocene basaltic sequences of the Jabal Eghei(Nuqay) volcanic province (southern Libya). The celestine specimens are characterized by applying the combination of the SEM-WDS, ICP/OES, XRPD, and IR methods. The celestine minerals are further analyzed for their color variations and minerogenetic framework. Three samples have greenish-blue-to-blue (480.4-482.5 nm), whereas the other two samples have blue-green color (cyan; 489.1-494.1 nm). The color purity ranges from 1.36-7.16. Their similarity of chemical content is fitting into the celestine near-end members, in which exclusively 1.6-4.1 at. % of Sr2+ content was substituted by Pb2+ (0.7-0.9 at. %), Ba2+ (0.5-0.7 at. %) and Ca2+ (0.2-0.8 at. %). The composition includes vacancies ranging from 1.0 to 1.9 at. % (observed only in three samples). The content of other chemical elements is minor. The resulting unit-cell parameters have the following ranges: a0=8.3578(9)-8.3705(6) Å; b0=5.3510(5)-5.3568(4) Å; c0=6.8683(7)-6.8767(2) Å and V0=307.17(5)-308.34(4) Å3. The XRPD and IR results are mainly in accordance with the SEM-WDS results, having a higher level of correlativity. However, the analysis exposed a few discrepancies yielding several possible interpretations. The illustrated discrepancies were primarily caused by a slight unit-cell axial anisotropy i.e., thermal expansion. In this manner, the results yield a new geothermometric tool that is based on the unit-cell axial anisotropy. The investigated Sr-bearing celestines were formed during a Miocene intraplate volcanism, basaltic magmas, and associated brines lifted by the structural conduits (normal faults crosscutting the Sirt basin). The Sr-bearing fluids were then poured into and over the faulted and fractured lagoon-type gypsum, anhydrite Eocene sediments. The celestine minerals were produced within a ~ 368-430K (~ 95-157 oC) temperature range. The celestine is formed at slightly elevated temperature and pressure conditions, close to the shallow subsurface environment (over 250 bars).

AB  - Human milk is a biofluid with a unique composition among mammalian milks. Besides this milk’s major components, its bioactive compounds, like hormones, immune factors, and oligosaccharides, are unique and important for infant growth and development. The best form of nutrition for term and preterm infants is the mother’s own milk. However, in the absence of the mother’s own milk, donor milk should be made available. Milk banks support neonatal intensive care units by providing preterm infants with human milk that generally has reasonable nutritive value for this sensitive population. However, neither mother’s own milk nor donor milk has sufficient energy content for the growth of preterm babies, so adequate human milk supplementation is crucial for their progress. Due to the different characteristics of human breast milk, as well as ubiquitous environmental pollutants, such as microplastics, new methods are required for monitoring the quality and characteristics of human milk, which will lay a solid foundation for the further development and progress of human milk research.

AB  - The use of fossil fuels leads to environmental contamination during their extraction, processing and distribution. Microbial biodegradation provides a sustainable method for cleaning contaminated areas which follows the principles of sustainability. This paper presents the dynamics of biodegradation of hydrocarbon fractions of diesel oil, using Planomicrobium sp. and Rhodococcus sp. isolated from petroleum-contaminated sites. GC– MS analysis was employed to analyse abundances of the specific compounds such as n-alkanes, isoprenoids, sesquitepranes,
hopanes, steranes and aromatic compounds (naphthalene and its methylated homologues, phenanthrene and anthracene and their methylated homologues, and dibenzothiophene and its methylated homologues). The obtained results showed that after 30 days of biodegradation of diesel, a significant degradation was achieved, with almost complete degradation of n-alkanes and a decrease in the amount of sesquiterapanes. Rhodococcus sp. had
a higher efficiency in degradation of n-alkanes, while Planomicrobium sp. had a higher efficiency in the degradation of branched hydrocarbons. Both strains showed high activity in the biodegradation of sesquitepranes and demonstrate ability to degrade methylated phenanthrenes. Additionally, dimethyldibenzothiophenes
were almost completely degraded and removed from the system. This study presents the first comprehensive report on the GC–MS analysis of the diesel biodegradation pattern of the Planomicrobium sp., compared with the well-established Rhodococcus sp.

AB  - Materials from green resources boast a low carbon footprint, forming the foundation of
 the circular economy approach in materials science. Thus, in this study, waste poly(ethylene
terephthalate) (PET) was subjected to depolymerization using propylene glycol (PG), and
subsequent polycondensation with bio-based maleic anhydride (MA) produced unsaturated
 polyester resin (b-UPR). Bio-derived acryloyl-modified Kraft lignin (KfL-A) served as a vinyl
 reactive filler in the b-UPR matrix to create b-UPR/KfL-A composites. The structural
characterization of KfL-A and b-UPR involved the use of FTIR and NMR techniques. The
 mechanical properties of the newly fabricated composites were assessed through tensile strength,
 Vickers microhardness, and dynamic mechanical tests. The addition of KfL-A to the rigid b-UPR
 matrix enhanced material flexibility, resulting in less stiff and hard materials while preserving
 composite toughness. For instance, incorporating 10 wt.% of KfL-A in b-UPR led to a 17%
 reduction in hardness, a 48% decrease in tensile strength, and a 20% reduction in toughness.
 Positive environmental impact was achieved by incorporation of 64 wt.% of renewable and
 recycled raw material. Analogously prepared b-UPR/KfL composites showed structural
 inhomogeneity and somewhat better mechanical properties. Transmission (TEM) and scanning
(SEM) electron microscopies revealed a suitable relationship between mechanical and structural
 properties of composites in relation to the extent of KfL-A addition. The UL94V flammability
 rating confirmed that flame resistance increased proportionally with the KfL-A addition. Once
 deposited in a landfill, these composites are expected to disintegrate more easily than PET, causing less harm to the environment and contributing to sustainability in the plastics cycle.

AB  - Metasurfaces are currently among the most attractive research fields, in no small measure due to their usability as refractometric sensors, offering unparalleled sensitivity up to sensing single atoms or molecules. This is rooted in their ability to localize electromagnetic fields in volumes orders of magnitude below the diffraction limit. Numerous materials, both conductive (metals, transparent conductive oxides, graphene, MXenes…) and all-dielectric (oxides, low-loss semiconductors) can be used to build them, thus tailoring metasurfaces, imparting multifunctionalities and enhancing design freedom. However, the fundamental sensing mechanism is practically identical across refractometric platforms – spectral dispersion changes of scattering parameters due to a difference between the real parts of refractive index of the analyte and the environment. Here we describe the use of exceptional capabilities of metasurfaces in transforming optical space to recognize analytes with identical real parts of refractive index but different imaginary parts. We consider a metasurface biosensor with cruciform openings array in an ultrathin silicon layer on silica. We simulate variations of the imaginary part of the effective refractive index in the openings while keeping the real part constant. The circular power flow that increases the optical path, field localization and intrinsically low losses in the optical range jointly cause that adding even the minuscule amounts of analyte with slightly increased optical absorption significantly reduces transmission through the structure, despite its exceptionally low thickness. The described principle can be used to distinguish bio-analytes with identical real part of refractive index like RNA, DNA, proteins, lipids, but also non-biological analytes.

AB  - The plasma electrolytic oxidation process of Ti foil in the presence of a colloidal solution of Ag nanoparticles was used for the synthesis of exceptionally photocatalytically active Ag-doped TiO2 coatings. UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy was applied to follow the changes in the surface plasmon resonance band of the Ag nanoparticles as a function of the Ag:PO43− ratio in a phosphate-based electrolyte solution. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the size of the Ag nanoparticles in the range of 3–12 nm. The XRD patterns of the Ag-doped TiO2 coatings confirmed the crystalline anatase TiO2 phase regardless of the dopant concentration and without metallic Ag or crystalline Ag oxide forms. The typical porous morphology of the Ag–TiO2 coatings was observed by scanning electron microscopy. A significantly improved photocatalytic activity of the Ag–TiO2 coatings in the degradation process of the insecticide lindane (gamma isomer of benzene hexachloride) and test molecule methyl orange compared to pure TiO2 was determined using the GC technique. The degradation efficiency of Ag-doped TiO2 coatings is higher for lindane than for methyl orange.

AB  - Tyrosinase is widely present in plants and mushrooms
and is responsible for enzymatic browning
reactions in damaged foodstuff. Accordingly, its
inhibitors act as anti-browning compounds and
have an important role in maintaining food quality.
In the cosmetic industry, inhibitors of tyrosinase
have important applications as skin-lightening
agents. Due to the ability of phenols to react
with proteins, the potential of polypore mushrooms
methanol extracts to inhibit tyrosinase was
investigated. Fresh wild-growing fruiting bodies
of the two mushroom species, namely Fomitipsis
pinicola and Ganoderma lucidum, were collected
from the Kopaonik and Avala mountains,
Republic of Serbia. Their methanol extracts were
analyzed for the total phenol content (TPC) and
phenolic profile using liquid chromatography
coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The
tyrosinase inhibitory potential was determined
in the reaction solution of 46 units/mL tyrosinase
and 2.5 mM of dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA).
Results were expressed as IC50 values, the concentration
of extract required for 50% in vitro inhibition.
The results showed that TPC levels were
from 38.6 to 133.1 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)
of extract dry weight (DW), with F. pinicola having
the highest level. F. pinicola extract displayed
the strongest tyrosinase inhibitory activity (0.10
mg/mL) almost comparable with kojic acid (0.079
mg/mL) commonly used as a standard inhibitor
of tyrosinase. A very strong and significant correlation
between TPC and IC50 values in tyrosinase
inhibition was observed (r = - 0.96). Gallic acid
(951.12 μg/g extract DW) was found to be the
main polyphenol ingredient of F. pinicola extract.
In addition, the anti-tyrosinase activity exhibited
by investigated methanol extracts could also be
attributed to the presence of other phenolic acids
like protocatechuic, p-hydroxybenzoic, chlorogenic,
vanillic, p-coumaric, and caffeic acid. The
results of the present study suggest that methanol
extract of the polypore mushrooms F. pinicola
and G. lucidum originating from Serbia act as natural
tyrosinase inhibitors and are rich sources of
phenolic acids. These mushrooms may be a good
material for the development of anti-browning
additives as well as additives in skin-lightening
cosmeceutical formulations.

from the Kopaonik and Avala mountains,
Republic of Serbia. Their methanol extracts were
analyzed for the total phenol content (TPC) and
phenolic profile using liquid chromatography
coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The
tyrosinase inhibitory potential was determined
in the reaction solution of 46 units/mL tyrosinase
and 2.5 mM of dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA).
Results were expressed as IC50 values, the concentration
of extract required for 50% in vitro inhibition.
The results showed that TPC levels were
from 38.6 to 133.1 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)
of extract dry weight (DW), with F. pinicola having
the highest level. F. pinicola extract displayed
the strongest tyrosinase inhibitory activity (0.10
mg/mL) almost comparable with kojic acid (0.079
mg/mL) commonly used as a standard inhibitor
of tyrosinase. A very strong and significant correlation
between TPC and IC50 values in tyrosinase
inhibition was observed (r = - 0.96). Gallic acid
(951.12 μg/g extract DW) was found to be the
main polyphenol ingredient of F. pinicola extract.
In addition, the anti-tyrosinase activity exhibited
by investigated methanol extracts could also be
attributed to the presence of other phenolic acids
like protocatechuic, p-hydroxybenzoic, chlorogenic,
vanillic, p-coumaric, and caffeic acid. The
results of the present study suggest that methanol
extract of the polypore mushrooms F. pinicola
and G. lucidum originating from Serbia act as natural
tyrosinase inhibitors and are rich sources of
phenolic acids. These mushrooms may be a good
material for the development of anti-browning
additives as well as additives in skin-lightening
cosmeceutical formulations.",

AB  - Mercury emissions represent a significant risk to the environment and human health. Mercury is persistent and
can circulate in the environment for thousands of years, which is why treating this toxic metal is important.
Chitosan polymer is easily obtainable, and it has good mercury adsorption characteristics. This study aimed to
improve its capabilities to absorb mercury by immobilizing phycobiliproteins (PBPs) onto the surface of chitosan
beads (chitosan–PBPs). Phycobiliproteins, light-harvesting proteins from algae and cyanobacteria, have several
industrially essential applications. These proteins can bind heavy metals with high affinities. Protein extracts
obtained from both Arthrospira platensis, with C-phycocyanin (C-PC) as the primary protein, and Porphyra
yezoensis, with R-phycocyanin (R-PC) and R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) as the dominant PBPs, were covalently
immobilized onto chitosan beads. Beads with immobilized PBPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy
and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Binding analysis showed that, on average, each chitosan
bead weighed 20 mg and immobilized 63.54 μg of PBPs from Spirulina and 44.12 μg of PBPs from Porphyra.
Immobilized proteins were still in their native state, with no visible color change months after immobilization.
Chitosan–PBPs and chitosan alone were tested for mercury adsorption at pH 4 and pH 7 by atomic absorption
spectroscopy. The tested concentration range of mercury was from 1 to 70 ppm. Affinity, calculated using
Henry’s binding isotherm, of chitosan–PBPs for mercury was twice as much higher at both pH values than
chitosan alone. Furthermore, chitosan-PBP beads were able to absorb more mercury than chitosan alone. These
results showed that the covalent immobilization of PBPs onto chitosan improves its mercury adsorption characteristics
and creates a more efficient eco-friendly adsorbent to potentially remove mercury ions in the tested
concentration range from polluted waters.

AB  - Hemiacetals of cyclopropanone can be isolated and stocked, contrary to their highly reactive parent ketone.  However, they are not readily converted to cyclopropanone, which limits their use as its synthetic equivalents.  2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy hemiacetals are expected to be better cyclopropanone surrogates, however, they have  never been prepared, so far. We show that oxyallyl cations with a heteroatom in the -position can be  intercepted with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, with formation of cyclopropanone trifluoroethoxy hemiacetals stable  enough to be isolated, purified and characterized. These species can serve as synthetic equivalents of  cyclopropanone under mild conditions.

ligands raises the overpotential required for Cu electrodeposition. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
(EIS) results indicate simultaneous electrodeposition of Cu and electrosorption of large cations on electrodeposited
Cu on both GC and Pd substrates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that Cu grains of
approximately 1 μm were obtained by electrodeposition of Cu on both Pd and GC, whereby better coverage by
electrodeposited Cu was obtained on Pd than on GC. Cu electrodeposited on Pd was relatively uniform and
smooth, but porous, while Cu electrodeposited on GC was dispersed in small agglomerates. Energy-dispersive Xray
spectroscopy (EDS) of Cu electrodeposited on Pd detected the dominant presence of Cu with the possibility of
the formation of CuPd alloy. The presence of CuPd alloy face-centred cubic structures is confirmed by X-ray
diffraction (XRD) along with metallic Cu.

AB  - he contamination of the water bodies by diesel oil (DO) and its water-soluble fraction (WSF) represents one of the most challenging tasks in the management of polluted water streams. This paper contains data related to the synthesis and characteristics of the plum stone biochar material (PmS-B), which was made from waste plum stones (PmS), along with its possible application in the sorption of the WSF of DO from contaminated water. Techniques applied in sample characterisation and comparisons were: Elemental Organic Analysis (EOA), Scanning Electron Microscopy−Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), pH (pHsus) and point of zero charge (pHpzc). In order to increase the overall efficiency of the removal process, sorption and bioremediation were subsequently combined. Firstly, PmS-B was used as a sorbent of WSF, and then the remaining solution was additionally treated with a specific consortium of microorganisms. After the first treatment phase, the initial concentration of diesel WSF was reduced by more than 90%, where most of the aromatic components of DO were removed by sorption. The sorption equilibrium results were best fitted by the Sips isotherm model, where the maximum sorption capacity was found to be 40.72 mg/g. The rest of the hydrocarbon components that remained in the solution were further subjected to the biodegradation process by a consortium of microorganisms. Microbial degradation lasted 19 days and reduced the total diesel WSF concentration to 0.46 mg/L. In order to confirm the non-toxicity of the water sample after this two-stage treatment, eco-toxicity tests based on a microbial biosensor (Aliivibrio fischeri) were applied, confirming the high efficiency of the proposed method.

AB  - The 3D printing parameters are known to have a significant impact on manufactured
parts, and the layered morphology of these parts makes mechanical design analysis for
engineering applications difficult. In this work, the tensile strengths and microhardness
of 3D printed polylactic acid (PLA) specimens with different orientations and numbers
of individual layers of mesh material (polyvinyl chloride – PVC) were investigated as a
laminate composite. Composite specimens were obtained using 3D printing via fused
deposition modelling (FDM). Moreover, the influence of printing parameters (i.e. infill
density and layer height) and the number and orientation of reinforced meshes on the
mechanical response was investigated. Fracture strength of PLA/PVC laminate
composites ranges from 31.30 MPa (3 PVC mesh layers; mesh height position:
25 % │ 50 % │ 75 %; infill density: 60 %; PVC mesh orientation: 90° │ 45° │ 90°; layer
height: 0.2 mm) to 18.62 MPa (without PVC mesh; infill density: 30 %; layer height: 0.1
mm) demonstrating a significant impact of the number of the PVC mesh layers, infill
density of PLA and layer height on the final mechanical parameters of printing
PLA/PVC elements. The surface hardness at the micro load level showed that the
number of reinforcement layers affects the microhardness value, as well as material
filling and mesh orientation. The specimen with the following parameters gave the
best results: layer height: 0.2 mm; 3 PVC mesh layers; infill density: 60 %; PVC mesh
orientation: 90° │ 45° │ 90°. The average hardness values for one layer and three layers
of mesh were in accordance with tensile test results.

AB  - Breaking news are usually disturbing. Natural disasters, wars, epidemics etc. are reported as breaking news. This paper reports a decreased danger of spreading of epidemics caused by the JN.1 variant, since analyses indicate that (a) infectivity of the new variant is decreased compared to most earlier variants, which is confirmed by the number of cases (7500 daily in USA). Moreover, JN.1 despite the great number of mutations has not been able to achieve the values of Gibbs energy of biosynthesis (and thus virus multiplication rate) of the Hu-1 wild type. The research shows that infectivity and pathogenicity of the JN.1 variant has not reached worrying size, which means that there is no reason to expect a worsening of the epidemiologic situation.

AB  - Titanium (Ti) is widely used in medical and dental implants. Calcium phosphate (CPs) coatings enhance Ti implants’ osteoinductive properties, and additives further improve these coatings. Recently, a nano amorphous calcium phosphate (nACP) coating decorated with chitosan oligolactate (ChOL) and selenium (Se) showed immunomodulatory effects. This study investigates the surface morphology, composition, bioactivity, mechanical properties, and Se-release mechanism of the nACP@ChOL-Se hybrid coating on Ti substrates. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) was synthesized, and the nACP@ChOL-Se hybrid coating was deposited on Ti substrates using in situ anaphoretic deposition. Physico-chemical characterization was used to analyze the surface of the coating (scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). The distribution of Se within the coating was examined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Bioactivity was evaluated in simulated body fluid (SBF), and adhesion was tested using a scratch test method. In vitro testing determined the release mechanism of Se. SEM images illustrated the surface morphology, while AFM provided a detailed analysis of surface roughness. XRD analysis revealed structural and phase composition, and EDS confirmed Se distribution within the coating. The coating exhibited bioactivity in SBF and showed good adhesion according to the scratch test. In vitro testing uncovered the release mechanism of Se from the coating. This study successfully characterized the surface morphology, composition, bioactivity, and Se-release mechanism of the nACP@ChOL-Se hybrid coating on Ti substrates, offering insights for developing immunomodulatory coatings for medical and dental applications.
