Fabrication of Hydroxyapatite/Cotton Nanofiber Scaffolds for Biomedical Application

Fabrication of PGS/CaTiO3 Nano-Composite for Biomedical Application

Biodegradable elastomeric materials are gaining extensive attention in the field of soft tissue engineering. Poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS) is a novel biocompatible elastomer in this scope. However this polymer has poor mechanical properties especially when the molar ratio of glycerol is higher than sebacic acid. Calcium Titanate (CaTiO3) is a biocompatible ceramic with some degr...

A novel fabrication of PVA/Alginate-Bioglass electrospun for biomedical engineering application

Objecttive (s): Polyvinylalcohol (PVA) is among the most natural polymers which have interesting properties such as nontoxic nature, biodegradability and high resistance to bacterial attacks making it applicable for tissue scaffolds, protective clothing, and wound healing.Materials and Methods: In the current work, PVA and Na-Alginate nanocomposite scaffolds were prepared using the electrospinn...

Fabrication and characterization of anisotropic nanofiber scaffolds for advanced drug delivery systems

Stimuli-responsive, polymer-based nanostructures with anisotropic compartments are of great interest as advanced materials because they are capable of switching their shape via environmentally-triggered conformational changes, while maintaining discrete compartments. In this study, a new class of stimuli-responsive, anisotropic nanofiber scaffolds with physically and chemically distinct compart...

Fabrication of cellulose based scaffolds for bone regeneration application

Carboxymethyl cellulose, a water-soluble cellulose derivative, has been used extensively as a biomaterial for wound healing and pharmacological applications. It is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer but its poor stability, limits its long-term application. In this study, carboxymethyl cellulose scaffolds were prepared at different concentrations (2.5 wt% and 5.0 wt%) by freeze drying met...
