Multicomponent Non-Woven Fibrous Mats with Balanced Processing and Functional Properties

Increasing Mechanical Properties of 2-D-Structured Electrospun Nylon 6 Non-Woven Fiber Mats

Tensile strength, Young's modulus, and toughness of electrospun nylon 6 non-woven fiber mats were improved by increasing individual nanofiber strength and fiber-fiber load sharing. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used as reinforcement to increase the strength of the electrospun nylon 6 nanofibers. Young's modulus, tensile strength, and toughness of the nylon 6 non-woven fiber mats el...

Non-woven nanofiber mats - a new perspective for experimental studies of the central nervous system?

(Sub)chronic local drug application is clearly superior to systemic administration, but may be associated with substantial obstacles, particularly regarding the applications to highly sensitive central nervous system (CNS) structures that are shielded from the outer environment by the blood-brain barrier. Violation of the integrity of the barrier and CNS tissues by a permanently implanted probe...

Processing Time Effects on Functional and Antioxidant Properties of the Quinoa Proteins Hydrolyzed with Alcalase and Pancreatin

Background and Objectives: Antioxidants are used to decrease oxidation of oils and increase shelf life of foods for centuries. Nowadays, researchers investigate for the replacement of synthetic antioxidants with antioxidants from natural sources. The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of quinoa enzyme-hydrolyzed proteins on functional and antioxidant properties of the produced pep...
