Porous poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds were fabricated using the high internal polymerization emulsion (HIPE) technique. Bis(ε-caprolactone-4-yl) (BCY) was utilized as crosslinker. The crosslinking density and the volume fraction...

Oral soft tissue thickening or grafting procedures are often necessary to cover tooth recession, re-establish an adequate width of keratinized tissue, correct mucogingival deformities improving esthetics, prepare a site for an implant or prosthetics,...

Porous carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with high energy storage performance were fabricated with a single precursor polymer, 6FDA-TFMB, without the use of any pore-generating materials. 6FDA-TFMB was synthesized, electrospun, and thermally treated to produc...

As a result of the dominance of urea formaldehyde (UF)-bonded particleboard, it seemed worthwhile to examine formaldehyde emissions years after production. A California Air Resources Board (CARB) phase II-compliant commercial particleboard produced w...

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been used in the field of tissue engineering as a scaffold due to its good biocompatibility, biodegradability and mechanical strength. With the aim to explore the degradability of PLGA electrospun nonwoven str...

Phenylboronic acid-bearing polyamidoamine dendrimer (PBA-PAMAM)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) multilayer films were prepared through the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of PBA-PAMAM solution and PVA solution. PBA-PAMAM/PVA films were constructed successf...

Chemical vapor deposition of graphene on transition metals is the most favored method to get large scale homogenous graphene films to date. However, this method involves a very critical step of transferring as grown graphene to desired substrates. A...

Using a one-step thermal reduction and non-covalent chemical functionalization process, PEGylated reduced nanographene oxide (rGOn-PEG) was produced from nanographene oxide (GOn) and characterized in terms of particle size, dispersion stability, chem...
