Hydrogel Films with CNT for biosensing applications

Paloma V., Jorge C., Rodolfo E., Iberoamericana University, MX

Hydrogels have been probe to be an amazing material, we present and hydrogel that we formulated with a mix of carbopol 940 and PVA, the selection of this material is because they present a high [...]

Electrospun Nanofibrous Scaffold for Controll Drug Delivery

Leung V., Hartwell R., Faure E., Yang H., Ghahary A., Ko F., University of British Columbia, CA

This study aims to design methods for controlling drug release from polymer nanofibres, and use these methods as a guide for designing nanofibre wound dressings with customizable release profile for a range of drugs. The [...]

Characterization of new type polymer composites prepared by in situ coffining electrospun fibers into polymer matrixes

Tsutsumi H., Hara C., Yamaguchi University, JP

A number of methods are available for preparing a fiber reinforced polymer composite from two or more polymer matrixes and fibers. Many difficulties (for example, increasing viscosity of processing fluid, homogeneity of fibers in the [...]

Aligned Electrospun Nanocomposite Fibers

Nartker S.R., Misra M., Drzal L.T., Research Assistant, US

Electrospun fibers have been used in various applications including filtration media, biomedical, ceramics and composites. Electrospinning uses an electric field to draw a polymer solution jet from the tip of a capillary to a collector [...]
