Layer Assembly

The application of an oppositely charged dual polymer system is a promising approach to enhance paper strength. In this work, modified chitosan (MCN), a cationic polymer, and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), an anionic polymer, were used sequentially to improve paper strength. The adsorption of MCN on cellulose fibers was analyzed via polyelectrolyte titration. The formation of MCN/CMC complex in water and the deposition of this complex on silicon wafers were investigated by means of atomic force microscope and quasi-elastic light scattering techniques. The results showed that paper strength was enhanced slightly with a layer-by-layer assembly of the polymers. However, if the washing stage, which was required for layer-by-layer assembly, was eliminated, the MCN/CMC complex was deposited on fibers more efficiently, and the paper strength was improved more significantly. The significant improvement was attributed to the extra development of fiber bonding, confirmed further by scanning electron microscope observation of the bonding area of fibers treated with or without washing. However, the brightness of papers was somewhat decreased by the deposition of the complex on fibers. Higher paper strength also was achieved using rapid drying rather than air drying.

Background: Solid free forming (SFF) technique also called additive manufacturing process is immensely popular for biofabrication owing to its high accuracy, precision and reproducibility. Method: SFF techniques like stereolithography, selective laser sintering, fused deposition modeling, extrusion printing, and inkjet printing create three dimension (3D) structures by layer by layer processing of the material. To achieve desirable results, selection of the appropriate technique is an important aspect and it is based on the nature of biomaterial or bioink to be processed. Result & Conclusion: Alginate is a commonly employed bioink in biofabrication process, attributable to its nontoxic, biodegradable and biocompatible nature; low cost; and tendency to form hydrogel under mild conditions. Furthermore, control on its rheological properties like viscosity and shear thinning, makes this natural anionic polymer an appropriate candidate for many of the SFF techniques. It is endeavoured in the present review to highlight the status of alginate as bioink in various SFF techniques.

AbstractPolyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers and fabrics are widely used for medical device applications such as vascular and anterior cruciate ligament prostheses. Several years ago, we began functionalizing PET fabrics using anionic polymers to enhance their biocompatibility, cell adhesion, proliferation and functional performance as PET ligament prostheses. Polymer functionalization followed a grafting-from process from virgin PET surfaces subject to spin-finish oil additive removal under Soxhlet extraction to remove residual fiber manufacturing oil. Nevertheless, with increasing time from manufacture, PET fabrics stored without a spin finish removal step exhibited degradation of spin finish oil, leading to (1) incomplete surface cleaning, and (2) PET surface degradation. Moreover, oxidizing agents present in the residual degraded oil prevented reliable functionalization of the prosthesis fibers in these PET fabrics. This study compares effects of PET fabric/spin finish oil storage on PET fabric anionic polymer functionalization across two PET fabric ligament storage groups: (1) 2- and 10- year old ligaments, and (2) 26-year old ligaments. Strong interactions between degraded spin finish oil and PET fiber surfaces after long storage times were demonstrated via extraction yield; oil chemistry changed assessed by spectral analysis. Polymer grafting/functionalization efficiency on stored PET fabrics was correlated using atomic force microscopy, including fiber surface roughness and relationships between grafting degree and surface Young’s modulus. New PET fabric Young’s modulus significantly decreased by anionic polymer functionalization (to 96%, grafting degree 1.6 µmol/g) and to reduced modulus and efficiency (29%) for 10 years storage fabric (grafting degree ~ 1 µmol/g). As fiber spin finish is mandatory in biomedically applicable fiber fabrication, assessing effects of spin finish oil on commercial polymer fabrics after longer storage under various conditions (UV light, temperature) is necessary to understand possible impacts on fiber degradation and surface functionalization.

The use of naturally occurring materials in biomedicine has been increasingly attracting the researchers’ interest and, in this regard, gum tragacanth (GT) is recently showing great promise as a therapeutic substance in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. As a polysaccharide, GT can be easily extracted from the stems and branches of various species of Astragalus. This anionic polymer is known to be a biodegradable, non-allergenic, non-toxic, and non-carcinogenic material. The stability against microbial, heat and acid degradation has made GT an attractive material not only in industrial settings (e.g., food packaging) but also in biomedical approaches (e.g., drug delivery). Over time, GT has been shown to be a useful reagent in the formation and stabilization of metal nanoparticles in the context of green chemistry. With the advent of tissue engineering, GT has also been utilized for the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds applied for both hard and soft tissue healing strategies. However, more research is needed for defining GT applicability in the future of biomedical engineering. On this object, the present review aims to provide a state-of-the-art overview of GT in biomedicine and tries to open new horizons in the field based on its inherent characteristics.

Coal Liquefaction Residue

This paper studies the properties of the blends composed of DCLR (direct coal liquefaction residue) and asphalt using two different processing methods, compares the regulation that the DCLR additive content and processing method take influence on the high-temperature properties, low-temperature properties and durability of the blends. It is found that the DCLR can improve the high-temperature properties of asphalt but degrade its low-temperature properties. The properties of blends composed of DCLR, asphalt and furfural extract oil are tested and analyzed by adding a certain amount of furfural extract oil into it, which shows that adding DCLR can improve the high-temperature properties of asphalt and reduce its low-temperature properties but can hardly cause any impact on the properties of the blends. In addition, the processing method has a direct influence on the properties of blends.
