Reinforced conductive polyester based on itaconic acids, glycerol and polypyrrole with potential for electroconductive tissue restoration

Electrically and Electrochemically Active Composite Based on Polyester/Reduced Graphene Oxide/Polypyrrole with Remarkable Washing Durability

Polyethylene/Clay/Graphite Nanocomposites as Potential Materials for Preparation of Reinforced Conductive Natural Gas Transfer Pipes

A series of high-density polyethylene/Cloisite 20A/graphite nanocomposites were prepared via melt blending for the production of polymeric pipes for natural gas transfer. The microstructural, mechanical, thermal, electrical and barrier properties of prepared nanocomposites were investigated. An intercalated morphology was observed for prepared nanocomposites. Improved mechanical properties ...

Efficient itaconic acid production from glycerol with Ustilago vetiveriae TZ1

BACKGROUND The family of Ustilaginaceae is known for their capability to naturally produce industrially valuable chemicals from different carbon sources. Recently, several Ustilaginaceae were reported to produce organic acids from glycerol, which is the main side stream in biodiesel production. RESULTS In this study, we present Ustilago vetiveriae as new production organism for itaconate synt...

Polypyrrole-incorporated conductive hyaluronic acid hydrogels

BACKGROUND Hydrogels that possess hydrophilic and soft characteristics have been widely used in various biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering scaffolds and drug delivery. Conventional hydrogels are not electrically conductive and thus their electrical communication with biological systems is limited. METHOD To create electrically conductive hydrogels, we fabricated composite hyd...
