Biodegradable materials based on silk fibroin and keratin.
Wool and silk were dissolved and used for the preparation of blended films. Two systems are proposed: (1) blend films of silk fibroin and keratin aqueous solutions and (2) silk fibroin and keratin dissolved in formic acid. The FTIR spectra of pure films cast from aqueous solutions indicated that the keratin secondary structure mainly consists of alpha-helix and random coil conformations. The IR...
متن کاملBone Substitute Fabrication Based on Dissolution-Precipitation Reactions
Although blockor granular-type sintered hydroxyapatite are known to show excellent tissue responses and good osteoconductivity, apatite powder elicits inflammatory response. For the fabrication of hydroxyapatite block or granules, sintering is commonly employed. However, the inorganic component of bone and tooth is not high crystalline hydroxyapatite but low crystalline B-type carbonate apatite...
متن کاملEvaluation of a biopolymer matrix for cell based bone repair
DEEPALI JERE: Evaluation of a biopolymer matrix for cell based bone repair (Under the direction of Dr. Lyndon Cooper) Autogenous bone grafts are often associated with unpredictable success rates and donor site morbidity. There is clear medical need for cost-effective bone graft material that overcomes these shortcomings. Aim: To test a thermally stable, macro-porous collagen scaffold, DuraGen® ...
متن کاملUtilization of Biodegradable Keratin Containing Wastes by Enzymatic Treatment
Two novel feather-degrading fungi belonging to Chrysosporium and Microsporum genus were isolated from poultry waste in Goa, India. The fungi produced extra cellular keratinolytic enzyme in a feather meal broth using chicken feather as a sole of carbon and nitrogen source. Maximum enzyme activity was obtained within 96 h (150 U/ml and 90 U/ml for Chrysosporium and Microsporum respectively) of cu...
متن کاملDesign and properties of biopolymer–silica hybrid materials: The example of pectin-based biodegradable hydrogels*
The association of natural polymers with silica is a fruitful strategy to design novel hybrid structures with potential applications in the fields of biotechnology, medicine, and environmental sciences. Here we illustrate the principles of formation, the structure, and the properties of such biohybrid systems by the specific example of silica–pectin porous materials. The influence of the silica...
