Functional polyaniline nanofibre mats for human adipose-derived stem cell proliferation and adhesion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Conductive polymer poly(aniline-co-m-aminobenzoic acid) (P(ANI-co-m-ABA)) and polyaniline (PANI) were blended with a biodegradable, biocompatible polymer, poly(l-lactic acid) and were electrospun into nanofibres to investigate their potential application

How to build a brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Your cells are magnificent little things, every single one is full of complex microsystems all working together to keep you going. They’re more intricate and advanced than any machines we can make, but sometimes… they need a little help to get going ...

Immobilized photosensitizers for antimicrobial applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) is a very promising alternative to conventional antibiotics for the efficient inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms; this is due to the fact that it is virtually impossible for resistant strains to ...

Polarisation control of linear dipole radiation using spin-momentum locking of light [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We experimentally demonstrate that a linear dipole is not restricted to emit linearly polarised light, provided it is embedded in the appropriate nanophotonic environment.

Viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites: An overview [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Elastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites exploit the principles of prestressed concrete, i.e. fibres are stretched elastically during matrix curing.

Deformability of a textile reinforcement modified with nanofibres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Deformability of a textile fabric is studied experimentally using a) friction test, b) out-of-plane compression, and c) bending. These tests reveal that a grafting of the fabric with carbon nano-fibres can significantly deteriorate its deformability ...

The electronic transport properties and microstructure of carbon nanofiber/epoxy composites

open access: yes, 2008
Carbon nanofibres (CNF) were dispersed into an epoxy resin using a combination of ultrasonication and mechanical mixing. The electronic transport properties of the resulting composites were investigated by means of impedance spectroscopy.

The cuttlefish Sepia officinalis (Sepiidae, Cephalopoda) constructs cuttlebone from a liquid-crystal precursor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cuttlebone, the sophisticated buoyancy device of cuttlefish, is made of extensive superposed chambers that have a complex internal arrangement of calcified pillars and organic membranes. It has not been clear how this structure is assembled. We find that
