Silica-based ceramics doped with calcium and magnesium have been proposed as suitable materials for scaffold fabrication. Akermanite (Ca2MgSi2O7) has attracted interest bone regeneration due to its controllable biodegradation rate, improved mechanical properties, high apatite-forming ability. Despite the profound advantages, ceramic scaffolds provide weak fracture resistance. The use of synthetic biopolymers such poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) coating improves performance tailors their...
Lignocellulosic-based polymer composites have gained significant interest due to their ‘’green’’ character as a response environmental concerns. A diverse array of lignocellulosic fibers is utilized, depending on fiber dimensions, chemical composition, moisture content, and the fiber–matrix interface. The aim this study establish an alternative standardized methodology, aimed at comparatively estimating performance through examination individual plant fibers. studied are ramie, hemp, flax,...
Poly(propylene 2,5-furan dicarboxylate) (PPF), or poly(trimethylene (PTF), is a biobased alipharomatic polyester that expected to replace its fossil-based terephthalate (PPT) and naphthate (PPN) homologues. PPF possesses exceptional gas barrier properties, but slow crystallization rate might affect success in specific applications the future. Therefore, series of based nanocomposites with nanoclays Cloisite®-Na (MMT), Cloisite®-20A (MMT 20A), halloysite nanotubes (HNT) were synthesized via...
Plastics are perceived as modern and versatile materials, but their use is linked to numerous environmental issues production based on finite raw materials (petroleum or natural gas). Additionally, low biodegradability results in the accumulation of microplastics. As a result, there extensive interest new, environmentally friendly, bio-based biodegradable polymers. In this context, poly(ethylene vanillate) (PEV) has great potential potentially alternative terephthalate); however, it not yet...
Polymers from renewable feedstocks are receiving increasing attention as the awareness about environmental issues derived petroleum exploitation and waste accumulation is growing. With unsaturated polyester resins being one of most used classes polymers worldwide, utilization biobased monomers for manufacturing more relevant than ever. In present work, succinic acid, promising building blocks, was incorporated in structure question to increase their content. By reacting with ethylene glycol...
Nanotechnology has a great potential to improve biomaterials used in tissue engineering. Nano-bioceramics are preferable compared their micro-scale counterparts, because of increased surface area, improving both mechanical properties and apatite-forming ability due the nucleation sites provided. Elements such as Si, Ca Mg for synthesis bioglasses have significant effect on bone metabolism, they particularly important regeneration this type glasses present high residual glassy phase, hardness...
The population growth and the limited reservoir of fossil resources have ignited attention scientific communities entrepreneurs to produce alternative products with raw-materials from renewable sources. In this work, proteins derived recycling waste textiles were studied as raw-material in synthesis thermosetting polymers a phenolic type suitable for use adhesives production wood-based panels. chemical bonds between phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins verified Fourier Transform Infrared...
