The use of scaffolds for osteochondral tissue regeneration requires an appropriate selection materials and manufacturing techniques that provide the basis supporting both cartilage bone formation. As are designed to replicate a part replaced ensure cell growth differentiation, implantable have meet various biological requirements, e.g., biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical properties. Osteoconductive such as tricalcium phosphate ceramics some biodegradable polymers appear be...
Nowadays, despite significant advances in the field of biomaterials for tissue engineering applications, novel bone substituents still need refinement so they can be successfully implemented into medical treatment fractures. Generally, a scaffold made synthetic polymer blended with nanofillers was proven to very promising biomaterial engineering, however choice components said remains questionable. The objects presented study were composites consisting poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and two...
Poly(phenylacetylene) with rationally designed urea groups was demonstrated to be a superior anion receptor possessing both colorimetric response ability and positive homotropic allosteric binding mode. The target polymer, poly(phenylacetylene) [bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]urea pendants (poly-1), synthesized by the stereoselective polymerization Rh(nbd)BPh4 (nbd = norbornadiene) in high yield. sensing of poly-1 evaluated using tetra-n-butylammonium (TBA) salts series anions THF. Upon addition...
This paper presents the acetone sensing characteristics of Si-doped (1 at.%) tungsten oxide thin films prepared by glancing angle dc magnetron sputtering. The performance WO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> sensors in concentration range 0.04-3.8 ppm at operating temperatures 150 °C-425 °C has been investigated. Doping film with Si significantly decreases limit detection compared pure reported literature. gas sensor's...
There is currently a growing demand for more effective thermal insulation materials with the best performance properties. This research paper presents investigation results on influence of two types filler structure and properties rigid polyurethane foam composites. Fly ash as product coal combustion in power plants microspheres 5, 10, 15, 20 wt.%, were used foams modifiers. The analysis, mechanical testing, cellular performed composites show that addition fly ash, up to 10 significantly...
In this work, composite filaments in the form of sticks and 3D-printed scaffolds were investigated as a future component an osteochondral implant. The first part work focused on development filament modified with bioglass (BG) Zn-doped BG obtained by injection molding. main outcome was manufacture bioactive, strong, flexible required length, diameter, properties. Then, used for scaffold production. We effect addition samples mechanical biological analyzed scanning electron microscopy,...
Purpose: Although it is well known that the size, shape, and surface chemistry affect biological potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), published studies have considered influence AgNP on antibacterial activity not provided conclusive results. This first study whose objective was to determine significance net charge AgNPs their potential, attraction bacterial cells, cell envelope disruption, considering differences in properties. Methods: We evaluated five commercial colloids with...
