Biodegradable Natural Polymer‐Based Drug Delivery Systems for Bone Tissue Engineering

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing incidence of bone diseases and injuries, especially among aging populations, has underscored the shortcomings of traditional treatments such as bone grafts and metal implants, which often face complications including immune rejection, mechanical failure, and delayed healing.

Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

Novel Recyclable Hierarchical Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Composites: Preserving Fiber Length and Orientation Using Elium

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of a hierarchical recycling approach that preserves reinforcing fiber orientation. ABSTRACT Current recycling methods for polymer matrix composites produce short, unoriented carbon fibers, limiting their use to intermediate‐strength applications.

Lightweight Sheet Molding Compound Composites With Enhanced Mechanical Performance via Cellulose Nanocrystal Reinforcement

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Mechanical Property Enhancement and 21% Density Reduction in CNC‐Reinforced Glass Fiber Composites. ABSTRACT The use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as a sustainable, high‐performance alternative to partially replace calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in polyester sheet molding compound (SMC) composites is investigated.

Compatibilization and Reinforcement of PHB/PBAT Blends via Sequential Blending of Surface‐Modified Cellulose

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Sequential blending improved the mechancial properties of PHB/PBAT/cellulose composites as compared to the one‐step batch mixing method. ABSTRACT Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural and biodegradable polymer generated by bacteria. While its applications to potentially replace petroleum‐based plastics are severely limited due to its brittleness and ...

Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...
