Silk fibroin (SF) is an excellent protein-based biomaterial produced by the degumming and purification of silk from cocoons of the Bombyx mori through alkali or enzymatic treatments. SF exhibits excellent biological properties, such as mechanical pro...
Alginates are polysaccharides that are produced naturally and can be isolated from brown sea algae and bacteria. Sodium alginate (SA) is utilized extensively in the field of biological soft tissue repair and regeneration owing to its low cost, high b...
Objectives: Impression materials could be a source of cross-contamination due to the presence of microorganisms from blood and saliva inside the oral cavity. Nevertheless, routinely performed post-setting disinfection could compromise the dimensional...
Stimuli-responsive actuating hydrogels response to the external stimulus with complex deformation behaviors based on the programmable anisotropic structure design are one of the most important smart soft materials, which have great potential applicat...
Following the application of polymer flooding in Daqing Oilfield, the heterogeneity between different layers has intensified, resulting in the formation of more favorable seepage channels and cross-flow of displacement fluids. Consequently, the circu...
Gamma radiation technique for the preparation of pure hydrogels is gaining popularity worldwide. Superabsorbent hydrogels play vital roles in different fields of application. The present work mainly focuses on the preparation and characterization of...
Natural polysaccharides are highly attractive biopolymers recommended for medical applications due to their low cytotoxicity and hydrophilicity. Polysaccharides and their derivatives are also suitable for additive manufacturing, a process in which va...
ZnO is one of the most studied oxides due to its nontoxic nature and remarkable properties. It has antibacterial and UV-protection properties, high thermal conductivity, and high refractive index. Various ways have been used to synthesize and fabrica...
Although titanium and titanium alloys have become the preferred materials for various medical implants, surface modification technology still needs to be strengthened in order to adapt to the complex physiological environment of the human body. Compa...
Two formulations based on diclofenac sodium salt encapsulated into a chitosan hydrogel were designed and prepared, and their drug release was investigated by combining in vitro results with mathematical modeling. To understand how the pattern of drug...
