Biodegradable Mesostructured Polymer Membranes [PDF]

Nano Letters, 2013
The extracellular matrix (ECM) has a quasi-ordered reticular mesostructure with feature sizes on the order of tenths of to a few hundred nanometers. Approaches to preparing biodegradable synthetic scaffolds for engineered tissues that have the critical mesostructure to mimic ECM are few.

On‐Surface Indigo‐Based Bimolecular Coordination Networks with Programmable Regular or Vitreous Structure

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A previously unreported coordination motif stabilising single Fe atoms by indigo chelation and pyridyl coordination on Au(111) has been revealed. By using planar tritopic pyridyl linkers (TPyB), extended 2D porous networks of indigo3(TPyB)2Fe6 form. These networks can be crystalline or vitreous and offer an environment where individual coordination ...

Evaluation of Dynamic Compressive Properties of Pla/Pbat Polymer Alloys Using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar Method

Engineering Transactions, 2014
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable biomass polymer. Polymer blends or polymer alloys have been used to overcome its brittleness. Because poly(butylene/adipate/terephthalate) (PBAT) is a ductile and biodegradable polymer, PLA/PBAT polymer alloys ...

Oxidative degradation of polylactide (PLA) and its effects on physical and mechanical properties [PDF]

, 2014
The thermo-oxidative degradation of polylactide (PLA) films was studied between 70 and 150 C. It was shown that the oxidative degradation of PLA leads to a random chain cission responsible for a reduction of the molar mass.
