Vesicle--biopolymer gels: networks of surfactant vesicles connected by associating biopolymers.
The effect of adding an associating biopolymer to surfactant vesicles and micelles is studied using rheology and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The associating polymer is obtained by randomly tethering hydrophobic alkyl chains to the backbone of the polysaccharide, chitosan. Adding this polymer to surfactant vesicles results in a gel; that is, the sample transforms from a Newtonian liqu...
متن کاملBiopolymer-Activated Graphitic Carbon Nitride towards a Sustainable Photocathode Material
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) conversion of solar light into chemical fuels is one of the most promising solutions to the challenge of sustainable energy. Graphitic carbon (IV) nitride polymer (g-CN) is an interesting sustainable photocathode material due to low-cost, visible-light sensitivity, and chemical stability up to 500 °C in air. However, grain boundary effects and limited active sites gre...

متن کاملManufacture and Mechanics of Topologically Interlocked Material Assemblies
Topologically interlocked material (TIM) systems are load-carrying assemblies of unit elements interacting by contact and friction. TIM assemblies have emerged as a class of architectured materials with mechanical properties not ordinarily found in monolithic solids. These properties include, but are not limited to, high damage tolerance, damage confinement, adaptability, and multifunctionality...
متن کاملInvestigation of Wear Behavior of Biopolymers for Total Knee Replacements Through Invitro Experimentation
The average life span of knee prosthesis used in Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is approximately 10 to 15 years. Literature indicates that the reasons for implant failures include wear, infection, instability, and stiffness. However, the majority of failures are due to wear and tear of the prosthesis. The most common biopolymer used in TKR is Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). Pr...
