In a review recently published in the European Polymer Journal, researchers discussed the utility of metal- and carbon-based nanostructures in injectable conductive nanocomposite hydrogels for cardiac tissue engineering (CTE).
Master Bond UV17Med is a one part, no mix, UV curable system. It was specially formulated to provide excellent adhesion to many TPUs (thermoplastic polyurethanes), which are widely recognized as challenging substrates for bonding.
There has been growing interest in using new, cheaper raw materials for the production of biodiesel to meet the economic challenges associated with its manufacture. Writing in Energies, scientists from Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania have reviewed recent research progress in the utilization of microalgal biomass, a cheap, sustainable resource, to produce Biodiesel.
Your chance of breaking a bone sometime within the next year is nearly 4%. If you're unlucky enough to need a bone replacement, it'll probably be based on a metal part. Unfortunately, metal parts are sometimes toxic over time, and will not help your original bone regrow.
Researchers from Chile and the UK have collaborated on a new paper in Materials exploring the use of agar in biodegradable packaging. The paper has important implications for reducing the environmental damage of plastic packaging.
A team of researchers from Hungary and India have investigated the qualities and properties of PLA biocomposites incorporating wood waste. The paper has appeared in the journal Polymers.
A new artificial enzyme has shown it can chew through lignin, the tough polymer that helps woody plants hold their shape. Lignin also stores tremendous potential for renewable energy and materials.
Traditional bandages could be useful for healing minor skin abrasions, but soft-tissue injuries, such as those on the tongue or sensitive regions like the intestines, are more difficult to treat.
Prof. Tao Chen’s team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ (CAS) Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) suggested a strain-perception-strengthening (SPS) enabled biomimetic soft skin that can convert from tactile to pain perception dynamically.
Scientists from Shihezi University in China have reported the use of raw cotton stalk materials to construct novel lithium-ion anode materials for use in energy storage applications. Their research has appeared in the journal Materials Letters.
