As one of the most promising development of nanotechnology, electrospinning has gathered a great deal of interests in recent years. In this study, several novel nanomaterials were prepared by electrospinning and further ...

The aim of this research is to understand if colorants can be synthesized enzymatically, and if the formed products can be used in various applications. Several phenolic compounds were chosen and reacted in the presence ...

Glycopolymers are synthetic polymers containing carbohydrate groups. They may play an important role in a wide range of biomolecular events such as adhesion, inflammation, cellular recognition, cell growth regulation, and ...

The cell wall of most plant biomass from forest and agricultural resources consists of three major polymers, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Of these, hemicelluloses have gained increasing attention as sustainable raw ...

Massive amounts of agricultural, industrial, medical and domestic water worldwide are polluted by different types of contaminants that harm the environment and impact human health. Films and beads made from abundant ...

Antimicrobial precursors, especially N-halamine precursors, were developed and synthesized. After being applied onto polymers and fibers, the durability, rechargeability and antibacterial efficacy of the N-halamine-treated ...

The need for tissue engineered scaffolds is growing due to the shortage in organ donation, the immunoreactions to allotransplants, and the high cost associated with transplantation. This work focuses on the material selection ...
