Biocompatible regenerated cellulose/halloysite nanocomposite fibers

Abstract

Regenerated cellulose (RC) bio-nanocomposite fibers reinforced with halloysite nanotubes (HNT) were fabricated through wet spinning technique via ionic liquid as a green solvent. Mechanical properties, water uptake, thermal stability, and cytocompatibility of the obtained fibers were examined. FTIR spectra indicated the uniform dispersion of HNT in the cellulose network. XRD analysis, together with FE-SEM images indicated that HNT was dispersed homogenously in the polymer. Moreover, mechanical and thermal stabilities of the nanocomposite fibers were notably increased through the addition of HNT.

Poly(aspartic acid) in Biomedical Applications: From Polymerization, Modification, Properties, Degradation, and Biocompatibility to Applications

“…Flat and nonporous surfaces have the least surface area and are not generally effective for cell proliferation. Development of nanofibers can potentially create a highly porous structure, which is useful for nutrient distribution for cell growth. , Scaffolds based on nanofibers of thiolated PASP hydrogels were fabricated through reactive electrospinning and was suggested as a potential material for use as an artificial extracellular matrix . In another study, porosity was induced into PASP/silk fibroin composite scaffolds using a high volume fraction of NaCl crystals (4 g of NaCl for 2 mL of solution) (schematically shown in Figure c) .…”

Impact of α‐cellulose as a green filler on physico‐mechanical properties of a solution grade styrene‐butadiene rubber based tire‐tread compound

“…On characterization of α-cellulose, we observed the comparable results. [33][34][35][36][37][38] FTIR spectroscopy with different characteristic absorption bands was used to identify the structure and the functional groups present in α-cellulose. [36] Figure 2B presents FTIR spectra of α-cellulose.…”

Porous cellulose microspheres loaded with dry Nile water algae for removal of MB dye and copper ions from aqueous media

“…[ 37,38 ] So, numerous cellulose derivative‐based biosorbents have been manufactured and effectively utilized to eliminate heavy metal ions from effluents. [ 39–45 ]…”

“…[37,38] So, numerous cellulose derivative-based biosorbents have been manufactured and effectively utilized to eliminate heavy metal ions from effluents. [39][40][41][42][43][44][45] The combination of Nile water algae, characterized by its high sorption capability, and cross-linked cellulose acetate in the form of microspheres, characterized by its high surface area and adsorptive ability, is a promising approach for enhancing the removal process and achieving great adsorption performance. This structure represents a novel combination, as it includes Nile water algae in the form of microspheres.…”
