Attempts to understand the Hofmeister Series at the molecular level has yielded numerous hypotheses, many of which refer to the way different salts modify the structural and dynamical properties of water. The most famous, and at the same time the…

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Increasing environmental and occupational exposures to nanoparticles (NPs) warrant deeper insight into the toxicological mechanisms induced by these materials. The present study was designed to characterize the cell death…
-
The infrared photoresponse in the electrical conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is dramatically enhanced by embedding SWNTs in an electrically and thermally insulating polymer matrix. The conductivity change in a 5 wt %…

X-ray fluorescence microscopy (microXRF) is applied for the first time to study macrophages exposed to unpurified and purified single-walled (SW) and multiwalled (MW) carbon nanotubes (CNT). Investigating chemical elemental distributions allows one…
-
To successfully induce tissue repair or regeneration in vivo, bioengineered constructs must possess both optimal bioactivity and mechanical strength. This is because cell interaction with the extracellular matrix (ECM) produces two different but…
-
Poly(N-vinylacetamide) hydrogels (PNVA gels) were synthesized to investigate their basic characteristics for biomedical applications such as water contact angles, protein uptake, and mouse fibroblasts (L-929) cell adhesion. Because PNVA gels show…
-
The contractile behavior of cells is relevant in understanding wound healing and scar formation. In tissue engineering, inhibition of the cell contractile response is critical for the regeneration of physiologically normal tissue rather than scar…
-
Encapsulating cells in biodegradable hydrogels offers numerous attractive features for tissue engineering, including ease of handling, a highly hydrated tissue-like environment for cell and tissue growth, and the ability to form in vivo. Many…
-
Cellulose nanowhiskers were prepared by sulfuric acid hydrolysis from coconut husk fibers which had previously been submitted to a delignification process. The effects of preparation conditions on the thermal and morphological behavior of the…
-
Two-dimensional correlation infrared spectroscopy (2DIR) and a newly developed perturbation correlation moving window (PCMW) technique were employed to study the precise chain collapse and revival thermodynamic mechanism of…
-
Chain extension of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) with unsaturated groups (PLBM) was attempted using ben- zoyl peroxide (BPO) and the resulting variation in molecular weight and mechanical properties was explored. Bulk copo- lymerization of l-lactic…
-
We present a quantitative study of local segmental order in vulcanized natural and butadiene rubber far above the glass transition. Network chain order is dependent on the density of cross-links and is here derived from proton homonuclear residual…
-
Abstract A series of cross-linked styrene-butadiene rubbers (SBR) filled with different amounts of carbon black and silica are investigated by proton multiple-quantum nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The method yields reliable information on…
-
Inhomogeneous deformations are observed in stretched natural rubber of different crosslink density; the conditions of observation, nucleation and propagation are given in the first part of the paper. In samples of low crosslink density these…
-
Stress-induced crystallisation (SIC) and stress-induced melting (SIM) in natural rubbers (NR), unfilled and filled with carbon black (CB) have been studied by (2)H-NMR measurements. Various materials have been swollen with small amount 2%) of…
-
The previous edition of this text was the first to provide a quantitative introduction to chaos and nonlinear dynamics at the undergraduate level. It was widely praised for the clarity of writing and for the unique and effective way in which the…
-
The myocardial tissue lacks significant intrinsic regenerative capability to replace the lost cells. Therefore, the heart is a major target of research within the field of tissue engineering, which aims to replace infarcted myocardium and enhance…
-
As a polysaccharide of natural origin, chitosan has the inherent properties of being biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic. These properties make chitosan an ideal candidate for based backbone in copolymeric matrices for use in biomedical…
-
A polyurethane (PU) network based on vegetable derived polyol has been characterised and compared to a synthetic based network. Fracture mechanics studies showed the lowest tear strength for the vegetable networks, which decreased as molecular…
