Polyhydroxyoctanoate films reinforced with titanium dioxide microfibers for biomedical application
نویسندگان
چکیده
New polyhydroxyoctanoate based composites with incorporated TiO2 microfibers were produced. The presence of the inorganic constituent influenced morphology, physical properties and functionality obtained biomaterials. degree PHO crystallinity decreased in a concentration dependent manner. stiffer than neat PHO, however they preserved their flexibility. Biocompatibility cellular migration studies showed that support cell viability migration. results suggest PHO/TiO2 could be used as novel biomaterials tunable for biomedical applications.

Investigation of resistive switching in anodized titanium dioxide thin films
In this work, TiO2 nanostructures were grown on titanium thin films by electrochemical anodizing method. The bipolar resistive switching effect has been observed in Pt/TiO2/Ti device. Resistive switching characteristics indicated the TiO2 nanotubes are one of the potential materials for nonvolatile memory applications. Increasing anodizing duration will increase nanotube lengths which itself c...
متن کاملReusable photocatalytic titanium dioxide-cellulose nanofiber films.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a well-studied photocatalyst that is known to break down organic molecules upon ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) act as an attractive matrix material for the suspension of photocatalytic particles due to their desirable mechanical and optical properties. In this work, TiO2-CNF composite films were fabricated and evaluated for photocatalytic ac...
متن کاملPoly(ε-caprolactone) films reinforced with chlorhexidine loaded electrospun polylactide microfibers
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) films reinforced with polylactide (PLA) microfibers were prepared by two methodologies: a) melt pressing of an electrospun PLA mat between two PCL films, and b) melt pressing of a co-electrospun mat composed of PLA microfibers and PCL nanofibers. Electrospinning conditions were selected for each polymer to obtain films loaded with 10, 20 and 30 wt% of PLA. Thermal and...
متن کاملInhibition of Biofilm Formation with Electrospun Titanium Dioxide Films
A biofilm is a group of microorganisms that attach and grow on a solid surface. Biofilms are common in nature. They can cause clogs and corrode pipes, cause infections when formed on medical implants, and cost billions of dollars in damages, so it is desirable to prevent their growth. This work explores the ability of electrospun titanium dioxide to inhibit the growth of biofilms of pseudomonas...
