Abstract The ratio of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(butylene adipate- co -terephthalate) (PBAT), and calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) fillers in PLA/PBAT/CaCO composites was set at 90/10/5, 70/30/5, 30/70/5. effect nano- micro-CaCO on the melting crystallization performance investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. PLA related to PBAT ratio, cooling rate, CaCO particle size composites. Nano...

This study examined effects of calcium supplemented milk on bone loss in ovariectomized rats. Twenty four SpragueDawley female rats, 7 weeks-old, were divided into 4 groups, ovariectomized and fed diets containing: 1) control, no Ca supplemented milk, 2) ovx 1, Ca carbonate supplemented milk, 3) ovx 2, ionized Ca supplemented milk, and 4) ovx 3, nano Ca supplemented milk. All rats were fed 1 ml...

Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) nano-crystals incorporated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to form BSA-loaded nano-carriers were synthesized via both in-situ and ex-situ processes. Amount of BSA uptake by the CDHA nano-crystals and subsequent release behaviors of the BSA-loaded nano-carriers were investigated. The amount of BSA uptake by CDHA decreases with increasing pH but a larger am...

Nano-sized hydroxyapatite (n-HA) is considered as a bio-active material, which is often mixed into bone implant material, polyetheretherketone (PEEK). To reveal the global protein expression modulations of osteoblast in response to direct contact with the PEEK composite containing high level (40%) nano-sized hydroxyapatite (n-HA/PEEK) and explain its comprehensive bio-effects, quantitative prot...

Photopolymer composites filled with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and/or inorganic nanofillers were fabricated by using digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. To investigate the effects of different CNC lyophilization concentrations and behaviors particles in photopolymer composites, morphological mechanical properties analyzed. loading levels affected composites. Better dispersion was seen ...

Background: Dental caries is the most common multifactorial infectious disease worldwide which referes to process of destruction tooth hard tissue caused by bacterial by-products in form acids through carbohydrate fermentation. Lactobacillus acidophilus one main cariogenic bacteria that causes forming biofilms with help ofglucosyltransferase (GTF) enzymes. Calcium hydroxide has limited antibact...
