Layered Biomimetic Composites from MXenes with Sequential Bridging

Bacterial Cellulose-Based Biomimetic Composites

Multifunctional layered magnetic composites

A fabrication method of a multifunctional hybrid material is achieved by using the insoluble organic nacre matrix of the Haliotis laevigata shell infiltrated with gelatin as a confined reaction environment. Inside this organic scaffold magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) are synthesized. The amount of MNPs can be controlled through the synthesis protocol therefore mineral loadings starting from 15 w...

Sequential Learning of Layered Models from Video

A popular framework for the interpretation of image sequences is the layers or sprite model, see e.g. [1], [2]. Jojic and Frey [3] provide a generative probabilistic model framework for this task, but their algorithm is slow as it needs to search over discretized transformations (e.g. translations, or affines) for each layer simultaneously. Exact computation with this model scales exponentially...

Stepped Moduli in Layered Composites

© 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim 7197 wileyonlinelibrary.com Circumstance-adaptive materials (CAMs) are those that can change their properties—mechanical, optical, electrical, magnetic, biological, and so on—to respond to their use or environment; [ 3–8 ] they represent a current challenge in materials science. Among the wide variety of possible CAMs, we focus on materials whos...

Enhanced Osteogenicity of Bioactive Composites with Biomimetic Treatment

PURPOSE This study aimed to explore if initiation of biomimetic apatite nucleation can be used to enhance osteoblast response to biodegradable tissue regeneration composite membranes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bioactive thermoplastic composites consisting of poly(ε-caprolactone/DL-lactide) and bioactive glass (BAG) were prepared at different stages of biomimetic calcium phosphate deposition by im...
