ABSTRACT Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and starch (St) are recognized as promising materials for developing artificial tissues. This study doped PVA/St composites with activated carbon (AC) crosslinked by tannic acid. The effects of concentrations on were investigated in terms changes morphological, thermal, mechanical, swelling, biological behaviors. utilization AC‐doped membranes tissue patches evaluated. Young's Modulus [Ey (MPa), %22, 53] tensile strength [σT(MPa), %28, 28] AC decreased due to...

Abstract The treatment of skeletal muscle, which lost its function with damage or trauma autologous muscle tissue transfer, is a very problematic approach. Hence, it critical to develop materials that are mimicking mechanical behaviors and allowing cell adhesion. Polyurethanes (PUs) one the most common polymers in engineering applications regeneration due their elasticity flexibility. Clinoptilolite (CLN) hydrated alumina silica crystal based biocompatible material numerous positive effects...

In the study, we aimed to develop a multipurpose tissue patch for repairment of various defects. Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) was blended with paraffin wax, and chemical composition membranes determined by FTIR RAMAN spectroscopy. The surface area PHBHHx PHBHHx/Paraffin wax were as (38,79 m2/g) (81,108 m2/g), respectively. DMA DSC results revealed that blending increased percentage elongation membrane 7,6% reduced modulus elasticity. While at break 22,463%...
