Polymeric Scaffolds in Tissue Engineering Application: A Review Tập 2011 - Trang 1-19 - 2011
Brahatheeswaran Dhandayuthapani, Yasuhiko Yoshida, Toru Maekawa, D. Sakthi Kumar
Current strategies of regenerative medicine are focused on the restoration of pathologically altered tissue architectures by transplantation of cells in combination with supportive scaffolds and biomolecules. In recent years, considerable interest has been given to biologically active scaffolds which are based on similar analogs of the extracellular matrix that have induced synthesis of ti...... hiện toàn bộ
Chemical Recycling of PET Wastes with Different Catalysts Tập 2015 - Trang 1-11 - 2015

Chemical recycling of polyethylene terephthalate, known as PET, has been the subject of increased interest as a valuable feedstock for different chemical processes. In this work, glycolysis of PET waste granules was carried out using excess ethylene glycol in the presence of different simple chemicals acting as catalysts, which are, namely, categorized in ionic liquids, metal salts, hydrot...... hiện toàn bộ
Polylactic Acid Based Nanocomposites: Promising Safe and Biodegradable Materials in Biomedical Field Tập 2016 - Trang 1-11 - 2016
Lili Sha, Zhaofeng Chen, Zhou Chen, Aili Zhang, Zhaogang Yang
Polylactic acid (PLA) is widely used in biological areas due to its excellent compatibility, bioabsorbability, and degradation behavior in human bodies. Pure polylactic acid has difficulty in meeting all the requirements that specific field may demand. Therefore, PLA based nanocomposites are extensively investigated over the past few decades. PLA based nanocomposites include PLA based copo...... hiện toàn bộ
PBAT/TPS Composite Films Reinforced with Starch Nanoparticles Produced by Ultrasound Tập 2017 - Trang 1-10 - 2017

The objective of the present work was to study the incorporation of starch nanoparticles (SNP) produced by ultrasound in blends of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) and thermoplastic starch (TPS). The films were produced by extrusion using varying percentages of SNP (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% w/w). The SNP were prepared in water without the addition of any chemical reagent. The resul...... hiện toàn bộ
Mechanical Properties of Steel-FRP Composite Bars under Tensile and Compressive Loading Tập 2017 - Trang 1-11 - 2017
Zeyang Sun, Yu Tang, Yunbiao Luo, Gang Wu, Xiaoyuan He
The factory-produced steel-fiber reinforced polymer composite bar (SFCB) is a new kind of reinforcement for concrete structures. The manufacturing technology of SFCB is presented based on a large number of handmade specimens. The calculated stress-strain curves of ordinary steel bar and SFCB under repeated tensile loading agree well with the corresponding experimental results. The energy-d...... hiện toàn bộ
Biosynthesis of Xanthan Gum from Fermenting Shrimp Shell: Yield and Apparent Viscosity Tập 2014 - Trang 1-8 - 2014

With the aim of producing xanthan gum, the effects of an aqueous shrimp shell extract (SSAE) as the source of carbon and nitrogen on the yield and apparent viscosity of the gums produced by fermentation using three native strains ofXanthomonas campestriswere studied. It was found that the SSAE contained 89.75% moisture, 0.054% ash, 8.069% protein, 0.787 lipids, a...... hiện toàn bộ
Eco-Friendly Approach and Potential Biodegradable Polymer Matrix for WPC Composite Materials in Outdoor Application Tập 2019 - Trang 1-9 - 2019
Alessia Quitadamo, Valérie Massardier, Marco Valente
Blends based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and poly(lactic) acid (PLA) with different ratios of both polymers were produced: a blend with equal amounts of HDPE and PLA, hence 50 wt.% each, proved to be a useful compromise, allowing a high amount of bioderived charge without this being too detrimental for mechanical properties and considering its possibility to biodegradation behaviou...... hiện toàn bộ
