Fabrication and Optimization of Stable, Optically Transparent, and Reusable pH-Responsive Silk Membranes
The fabrication of silk-based membranes that are stable, optically transparent and reusable is yet to be achieved. To address this bottleneck we have developed a method to produce transparent chromogenic silk patches that are optically responsive to pH. The patches were produced by blending regenerated silk fibroin (RSF), Laponite RD (nano clay) and the organic dyes neutral red and Thionine ace...
متن کاملPolymeric composite membranes for temperature and pH-responsive delivery of doxorubicin hydrochloride
Objective(s): Nowadays hydrogels are one of the upcoming classes of polymer-based controlled-release drug delivery systems. Temperature and pH-responsive delivery systems have drawn much attention because some diseases reveal themselves by a change in temperature and/or pH. The objective of this work is to prepare and characterize composite membrane using responsive nanoparticles into a polymer...
متن کاملNano- and Micropatterning of Optically Transparent, Mechanically Robust, Biocompatible Silk Fibroin Films
Biopolymers, such as silk fibroin, collagen, and chitosan, are promising candidates for a variety of applications that merge the fields of biomedical optics and biomaterials. Biocompatible silk fibroin, in particular, shows promise as a biomaterial, based on a number of attributes. Silk fibroin is the strongest and toughest natural fiber known and is easily formed into robust films of thermodyn...
متن کاملFabrication and investigation of a transparent and flexible loudspeaker and microphone based on carbon nanotube
Transparent acoustic sensors and actuators are a new generation of acoustic transducers that can create an evolution in the microphone and loudspeakers industries. These transducers with properties like transparency, flexibility, flatness, very low weight and thickness have a great potential for various applications like public speakers, active noise cancelation systems, displays, cell phones a...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Functionalization of Polyethersulfone: A New Approach for pH-Responsive Microfiltration Membranes with Enhanced Antifouling Properties
In this work, 2,2’-azo-bis-butyronitrile (AIBN) was exploited as an initiator for the successful bulk heterogeneous functionalization of polyethersulfone (PES) using polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), for the first time. To this end, pH-responsive and exceptionally low fouling membranes of extremely low grafting degrees with low adhesion and high rejection of protein were fabricated. An added advanta...
