Piezoelectric composites in neural tissue engineering: material and fabrication techniques

Revealing an important role of piezoelectric polymers in nervous-tissue regeneration: A review

“…A review by Zaszczynska et al [ 41 ] describes the piezoelectric materials most frequently used for neural tissue engineering together with the main achievements, challenges, and future needs for research and treatments. In 2022, Askari et al [ 42 ] presented a review on piezoelectric composites in neural tissue engineering; that paper deals with hybrid materials based on piezoceramics and piezopolymers as well as methods of their fabrication. In that paper, only PVDF and its copolymer-based scaffolds are considered, while other piezopolymers, such as PLLA and PHB, are not mentioned.…”

The features of geopolymer concrete as a novel approach for utilization in green urban structures

“…Some of the most common classifications for these wastes include municipal solid waste, building and demolition debris, and industrial or agricultural by-products. On-site waste management is emphasized in sustainable architecture [16][17][18][19]. Sustainable materials are defined as renewable materials that positively influence employment and contribute to economic activities based on economics, environment, and energy.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of CuO@PANI composite: A new prospective material for electrochemical sensing

“…Due to their excellent physical and catalytic characteristics, nanoparticles (NPs) such as metal oxide have been used in electrochemistry to increase their electro-catalytic efficiency [8][9][10]. In addition, the high surface area [11], antibacterial activity [12] and drug delivery [13] make such materials effective substrate for fabrication of novel composites material for various fields [14][15][16]. In addition, Nanomaterials and their nanocomposites with unique atomic thickness are promising materials for various applications including tissue engineering [16], energy storage [17,18], water related applications [18] and catalytic industries [20][21][22] due to their outstanding properties such as high mechanical strength, large surface area, good chemical and thermal stability, ease of functionalization, and hydrophilic surface.For instance, Benmoussa et al, proposed a novel electrochemical biosensor to detect cancer biomarker (lactic acid) based on organic-inorganic composite coupled with a molecularly imprinted polymer to create a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical biosensor where a limit of detection around 0.726 μM has been determined [14].…”

Hence, The NPs-modified electrode enhanced signal responsiveness, sensitivity, and repeatability [23][24][25][26][27], and it has several bioscience applications.Furthermore, the characteristics of composite materials are determined by the morphology of the phases, which must be regulated across many length scales [25][26][27][28].…”
