Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

Bacterial cellulose is a naturally occurring polysaccharide with numerous biomedical applications that range from drug delivery platforms to tissue engineering strategies. BC possesses remarkable biocompatibility, microstructure, and mechanical properties that resemble native human tissues, making it suitable for the replacement of damaged or injured tissues. In this review, we will discuss the structure and mechanical properties of the BC and summarize the techniques used to characterize these properties. We will also discuss the functionalization of BC to yield nanocomposites and the surface modification of BC by plasma and irradiation-based methods to fabricate materials with improved functionalities such as bactericidal capabilities.

The use of marine-origin polysaccharides has increased in recent research because they are abundant, cheap, biocompatible, and biodegradable. These features motivate their application in nanotechnology as drug delivery systems; in tissue engineering, cancer therapy, or wound dressing; in biosensors; and even water treatment. Given the physicochemical and bioactive properties of fucoidan and chitosan, a wide range of nanostructures has been developed with these polysaccharides per se and in combination. This review provides an outline of these marine polysaccharides, including their sources, chemical structure, biological properties, and nanomedicine applications; their combination as nanoparticles with descriptions of the most commonly used production methods; and their physicochemical and biological properties applied to the design of nanoparticles to deliver several classes of compounds. A final section gives a brief overview of some biomedical applications of fucoidan and chitosan for tissue engineering and wound healing.

AbstractThe term combustion synthesis, or self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS), refers to an exothermic chemical reaction process that utilizes the heat generated by the exothermic reaction to ignite and sustain a propagating combustion wave through the reactants to produce the desired product(s). The products of combustion synthesis normally are extremely porous: typically 50 percent of theoretical densityAdvantages of combustion synthesis over traditional processing routes, e.g., sintering, in the production of advanced materials such as ceramics, intermetallic compounds and composites include process economics, simplicity of operation, and low energy requirements. However, the high exothermicity and rapid combustion propagation rates necessitate a high degree of control of these reactions.One research area being conducted in the Institute for Space Resources (ISR) at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) is the application of combustion synthesis (SHS) to synthesize advanced, engineered porous multiphase/heterogeneous calcium phosphate (HCaP), NiTi, NiTi-TiC, TiB-Ti, TiC-Ti for bone tissue engineering and drug delivery systems. Such material systems require a complex combination of properties that can be truly classified as multi-functional materials. The range of properties includes: an overall porosity of 40-60% with a pore size of 200-500 μm; mechanical properties (compression strength and Young’s modulus) that match those of natural bone to avoid ‘stress shielding’; and a surface chemistry that is capable of facilitating bone growth and mineralization.The paper will discuss the synthesis of porous multiphase/heterogeneous calcium phosphate (HCaP), NiTi, NiTi-TiC, TiB-Ti, TiC-Ti for bone tissue engineering and drug delivery systems.

Electrospinning is a method in which materials in solution are formed into nano- and micro-sized continuous fibers. Recent interest in this technique stems from both the topical nature of nanoscale material fabrication and the considerable potential for use of these nanoscale fibres in a range of applications including, amongst others, a range of biomedical applications processes such as drug delivery and the use of scaffolds to provide a framework for tissue regeneration in both soft and hard tissue applications systems. The objectives of this review are to describe the theory behind the technique, examine the effect of changing the process parameters on fiber morphology, and discuss the application and impact of electrospinning on the fields of vascular, neural, bone, cartilage, and tendon/ligament tissue engineering.
