Hydrogel platforms for 3D cardiac tissue engineering and fibrotic disease modelling

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based cardiac tissue models are advancing our understanding of heart health and disease. By incorporating electrical conductivity, aligned structures, and tunable mechanical properties, these platforms better replicate the complex environment of native heart tissue.

Rationally engineered polymeric interfaces for selective and dynamic recognition of vesicular agents

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explores how molecularly imprinted polymers can be engineered to recognize complex nanoscale vesicles, including extracellular vesicles and membrane‐enveloped viruses. By tailoring polymer cavities to vesicle surface chemistry and structure, these synthetic receptors support selective detection, separation, and integration with optical ...

Surface modification of 3D‐printed polycaprolactone scaffolds with silk fibroin for bone tissue engineering

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Coating 3D‐printed PCL scaffolds with silk fibroin can improve biocompatibility and bone cell adhesion. One innovative design for tissue‐engineering scaffolds uses 3D printing technology. Here, we used polycaprolactone (PCL) filament as a biocompatible material to design a porous 3D scaffold for bone tissue engineering.

Noncovalent functionalisation of polyaniline with the ionic liquid: An unneeded asset to prepare the emeraldine salt form of polyaniline using protic ionic liquids as polymerisation medium

eXPRESS Polymer Letters
Since the properties of polyaniline (PANI) are widely related to the type of its dopant, the present manuscript has an objective to define whether and to what extent the protic ionic liquids contribute to doping PANI.

Mechanical reinforcement with enhanced electrical and heat conduction of epoxy resin by polyaniline and graphene nanoplatelets

Nanotechnology Reviews, 2020
In this study, the effects of polyaniline (PANI) incorporation (3 wt% of PANI) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) loading (0.1–0.7 wt%) on the mechanical, thermal, and electrical performance of epoxy matrix were investigated.

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

A Simplified Laminar Flow Model for the Pultrusion of Glass Fiber/Polyethylene Terephthalate Commingled Yarns

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified thermoplastic pultrusion model is developed to predict thermal fields in glass fiber/polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) composites with reduced computational cost. By combining effective material homogenization, validation against literature data, and Gaussian‐process‐based optimization, the study reveals how heating limits, pulling speed,
