scaffold design has pivotal role in tissue engineering. in the present study, we modified the surface of electrospun poly(caprolactone) (pcl) nanofibers to improve their compatibility with living medium and to show the potential application of pcl nanofibers as a artificial extracellular matrix using in tissue-engineering. pcl nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning method. to graft gelat...

oday, we are witnessing important new developments that go beyond “traditional” chemical engineering. Engineers at many universities and industrial research centers are working on novel equipment and techniques that potentially could transform our concept of chemical plants and lead to compact, safe, energy-efficient, and environment-friendly sustainable processes. These developments share a co...

To respond to the changing needs of the chemical and related industries in order both to meet the today’s economy demands and to remain competitive in global trade, a modern chemical engineering is vital to satisfy both the market requirements for specific nano and-micro scale end-use properties of products, and the social and environmental constraints of industrial meso and-macro scale process...

E nvironmental engineering education has a traditional engineering foundation that includes a heavy emphasis on the physical sciences. In contrast, the disciplines of chemical engineering and bioengineering are founded on a strong combination of the physical, chemical, and biological sciences. We believe that the environmental engineering profession needs to address whether to shift from the tr...

The collective behaviors of coupled oscillators are ubiquitous in biological systems, with examples including quorum sensing, cardiac muscle contractions, and networks of neurons. In an effort to better understand the generic properties of such oscillators, we investigated emulsions of diffusively coupled microdroplets containing the oscillatory Belousov—Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction with a photo-i...
