Experimental and DFT Approach on the Determination of Natural Gas Hydrate Equilibrium with the Use of Excess N2 and Choline Chloride Ionic Liquid as an Inhibitor
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
This work presents the characterization of hydrate-forming conditions of a Qatari natural gas-type mixture, QNG-S1, obtained using two different experimental methods, namely, a benchtop reactor and a gas hydrate autoclave. ...
New three-dimensional poly(decanediol-co-tricarballylate) elastomeric fibrous mesh fabricated by photoreactive electrospinning for cardiac tissue engineering applications
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Reactive electrospinning is capable of efficiently producing in situ crosslinked scaffolds resembling the natural extracellular matrix with tunable characteristics. In this study, we aimed to synthesize, characterize, and ...
Review of clay-drug hybrid materials for biomedical applications: Administration routes
(
Clay Minerals Society
, 2016 , Article)
Focus here is placed on the pharmaceutical and biomedical applications of novel clay-drug hybrid materials categorized by methods of administration. Clay minerals have been used for many years as pharmaceutical and medicinal ...
Nanoengineered biomimetic hydrogels for guiding human stem cell osteogenesis in three dimensional microenvironments
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
The ability to modulate stem cell differentiation in a three dimensional (3D) microenvironment for bone tissue engineering in the absence of exogenous pharmaceutical agents such as bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2) remains ...
Hydrophobic guest mediated micellization and demicellization of rationally designed amphiphilic poly(organophosphazene) for efficient drug delivery
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2016 , Article)
Recently, biocompatible and amphiphilic poly(organophosphazene) (PPZ) has been suggested as a drug delivery carrier since it can be easily modified to achieve desired chemical properties. In this work, we newly designed a ...
Carbonyl iron coated with a sulfobetaine moiety as a biocompatible system and the magnetorheological performance of its silicone oil suspensions
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, surface modification of carbonyl iron (CI) particles with sulfobetaine moieties (SBE) was performed by the silanization of activated CI to form stable CI-SBE particles. The modification led to a significant ...
Mesoporous silica coated carbon nanofibers reduce embryotoxicity via ERK and JNK pathways
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have been implicated in biomedical applications, yet, they are still considered as a potential hazard. Conversely, mesoporous silica is a biocompatible compound that has been used in various ...
Chiral Tartaric Acid Improves Fracture Toughness of Bioactive Brushite-Collagen Bone Cements
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Brushite cements are promising bone regeneration materials with limited biological and mechanical properties. Here, we engineer a mechanically improved brushite-collagen type I cement with enhanced biological properties ...
High toughness resorbable brushite-gypsum fiber-reinforced cements
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The ideal bone substitute material should be mechanically strong, biocompatible with a resorption rate matching the rate of new bone formation. Brushite (dicalcium phosphate dihydrate) cement is a promising bone substitute ...
Investigation of the tribological and biomechanical properties of CrAlTiN and CrN/NbN coatings on SST 304
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This study examines the influence of thin layer coatings of CrAlTiN and CrN/NbN, deposited via physical vapor, on the biocompatibility, mechanical, tribological, and corrosion properties of stainless steel 304. The ...
