Abstract Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) pretreatment of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polystyrene (PS) was investigated to evaluate its effect on biodegradation. Weight wettability measurement, surface topography, roughness analysis were examined for physical properties evaluation. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-TR) conducted understand the possible chemical transformation. Based biofilm formation, highest microbial colonisation observed sample treated with CAP +...
Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) products are widely established for soft tissue repair, reconstruction and reinforcement. These regenerative biomaterials mimic native ECM with respect to structure biology produced from a range of sources species. Optimal source processing requires balance between removal cellular material the preservation structural biological properties ECM. Despite wide-spread clinical use dECM there is lack comparative information on these Structurally, some...
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii CC125 (wild type) and CW15 (cell wall mutants) were feed up on solid and liquid Tris phosphate (TP) media with various concentrations of acetate, glycerol(10-100 mM) or methanol (0.01-718 cultivated under phototrophic, mixotrophic heterotrophic conditions. Use 10 35 mM acetate 50 glycerol constant 38 μE m −2 s −1 light illumination (mixotrophically) was the optimum condition for both strains to have a higher biomass growth compared other carbon sources...
Biomaterials and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) are treatment modalities regularly used together to accelerate soft-tissue regeneration. This study evaluated the impact of design composition commercially available collagen-based matrices on observed vacuum delivered under NPWT using a custom test apparatus. Specifically, testing compared effect commercial products; ovine forestomach matrix (OFM), collagen/oxidized regenerated cellulose (collagen/ORC) dressing (CWD) pressure. OFM...
Biomaterials and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT1) are treatment modalities regularly used together to accelerate soft-tissue regeneration. This study evaluated the impact of design composition commercially available collagen-based matrices on observed vacuum delivered under NPWT using a custom test apparatus. Specifically, testing compared effect commercial products; ovine forestomach matrix (OFM2), collagen/ORC dressing (CWD3) pressure. OFM resulted in an ~50% reduction target at 75...
