Comparison of regenerated and non-regenerated oxidized cellulose hemostatic agents [PDF]

European Surgery, 2013
Oxidized cellulose is a well known and widely used surgical hemostat. It is available in many forms, but manufactured using either a nonregenerated or regenerated process.This study compares the fiber structure, pH in solution, bactericidal effectiveness, and hemostatic effectiveness of an oxidized nonregenerated cellulose (ONRC; Traumastem®) and an ...

Make‐Use‐Remake: Toward Indefinite Low‐Temperature Material Loops

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a regenerable materials platform built from microparticles bound by a temperature‐responsive polymer shell, enabling strong, processable structures from diverse feedstocks. The material is shaped at low temperatures (80°C) using common manufacturing methods and reprocessed repeatedly in the presence of water, demonstrating stable ...

Multiscale structure of cellulose microfibrils in regenerated cellulose fibers

Carbohydrate Polymers
Cellulose in solution can be assembled into textile fibers by wet-spinning (Viscose etc.) or dry-jet wet spinning (Lyocell, Ioncell etc.), which leads to significant differences in the mechanical properties of fibers. We use scanning X-ray microdiffraction (SXM) to reveal regenerated fibers having a "skin-core" morphology.
