Subcritical crack growth in fibrous materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present experiments on the slow growth of a single crack in a fax paper sheet submitted to a constant force $F$. We find that statistically averaged crack growth curves can be described by only two parameters : the mean rupture time $\tau$ and a ...

Fibrillar Bundles as Fibrous Filler Materials for Attaining Cell Anisotropy in Bioprinting

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrillar bundles are introduced as a bioprintable additive that enables robust and scalable cellular alignment within 3D constructs through flow‐induced orientation during extrusion. These fibers support strong cell adhesion and polarization across various cell types and significantly enhance myotube alignment in Gelatine‐Methacryloyl (GelMA ...

Characterization of Structure and Morphology of Cellulose Lyocell Microfibers Extracted from PAN Matrix

open access: yesPolysaccharides
Polymer matrices can be reinforced with cellulose fillers in a variety of geometric shapes. Depending on the morphology of the particles, the volume fraction of the composite additive may decrease, while the values of the elastic modulus may increase ...

P10.05 REDUCED MOLECULAR FLEXIBILITY IN THE LARGE ARTERIES OF DIABETIC RATS

open access: yesArtery Research, 2009
In Type 1 and 2 diabetes tissue stiffening is evident from measurements of the gross mechanical properties of the vasculature. In general, pathological glycosylation of extracellular matrix proteins may play an important role in increasing stiffness in ...

Single-molecular insights into the breakpoint of cellulose nanofibers assembly during saccharification

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Lignocellulose recalcitrance hampers its utilization for the production of biofuels and biosourced chemicals. Here, the authors reveal that the amorphous cellulose is the breakpoint of interact microfibrils and propose OsFC16/CESA9 as the engineering ...

Engineering of Bioenergy Crops: Dominant Genetic Approaches to Improve Polysaccharide Properties and Composition in Biomass. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Large-scale, sustainable production of lignocellulosic bioenergy from biomass will depend on a variety of dedicated bioenergy crops. Despite their great genetic diversity, prospective bioenergy crops share many similarities in the polysaccharide ...

Structure-mechanics relationships of collagen fibrils in the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Mouse model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The collagen molecule, which is the building block of collagen fibrils, is a triple helix of two α1(I) chains and one α2(I) chain. However, in the severe mouse model of osteogenesis imperfecta (OIM), deletion of the COL1A2 gene results in the ...

Eutectozymes as Soft Hybrid Materials for Advanced Biocatalysis

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Eutectozymes are sustainable hybrid materials that embed a GOx–HRP cascade within hydrophobic eutectogels featuring a dual supramolecular–covalent network. This architecture preserves native enzyme structure and stability, enables efficient heterogeneous biocatalysis in aqueous media, and positions eutectogels as robust platforms for next‐generation ...
