Biocompatibility of Laser-deposited Hydroxyapatite Coatings on Titanium and Polymer Implant Materials

Journal of Biomedical Optics, 1998
We have investigated the biocompatibility of calcium phosphate coatings deposited by pulsed laser ablation from hydroxyapatite (HA) targets onto polyethylene and Teflon substrates. It was found that the cell density, attachment, and morphology of primary rat calvaria osteoblasts were influenced by both the original polymer and by the nature of the ...

Next-generation sutures: Combining natural polymers and graphene for optimal wound healing

Results in Surfaces and Interfaces
Sutures are essential for wound healing. Sutures cannot influence biological healing processes; hence their efficacy is still limited. Active healing sutures must be made.

Packaging of Macroscopic Material Payloads: Needs, Challenges, Concepts, and Future Directions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This review introduces a unified framework that decomposes any macroscopic packaging system into the payload, packaging material, and packaging strategy and combines them into a conceptual packaging equation: packaging strategy = payload + packaging material.

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...
