Silk Fibroin/Gold Nanocrystals: A New Example of Biopolymer-based Nanocomposites
The dispersion of nanoparticles in ordered polymer nanostructures can provide control over particle location and orientation, and pave the way for tailored nanomaterials that have enhanced mechanical, electrical, or optical properties. Here we used silk fibroin, a natural biopolymer, to embed gold NCs (nanocrystals), so as to obtain well-ordered structures such as nanowires and self-assembled t...
متن کاملNew Guar Biopolymer Silver Nanocomposites for Wound Healing Applications
Wound healing is an innate physiological response that helps restore cellular and anatomic continuity of a tissue. Selective biodegradable and biocompatible polymer materials have provided useful scaffolds for wound healing and assisted cellular messaging. In the present study, guar gum, a polymeric galactomannan, was intrinsically modified to a new cationic biopolymer guar gum alkylamine (GGAA...
متن کاملStarch-based nanocomposites reinforced with flax cellulose nanocrystals
In this study, the cellulose crystals, prepared by acid hydrolysis of flax fiber, consisted of slender rods with lengths ranging from 100 to 500 nm and diameters ranging from 10 to 30 nm, respectively. After mixing the suspension of flax cellulose nanocrystals (FCNs) and plasticized starch (PS), the nanocomposite films were obtained by the casting method. The effects of FCNs loading on the morp...
متن کاملA review of experimental and modeling techniques to determine properties of biopolymer-based nanocomposites.
The nonbiodegradable and nonrenewable nature of plastic packaging has led to a renewed interest in packaging materials based on bio-nanocomposites (biopolymer matrix reinforced with nanoparticles such as layered silicates). One of the reasons for unique properties of bio-nanocomposites is the difference in physics at nanoscale as compared to that at macroscale. Therefore, the effect of nanoscal...
متن کاملCadmium-based nanocrystals and nanocomposites at the air-water interface
Two cadmium-based nanocrystals were studied, cadmium selenide and cadmium telluride, which have potential applications in optoelectronic devices. CdSe quantum dots and nanorods were synthesized with a functional ligand, allowing for the formation of nanocomposites where a vinyl terminated conjugated polymer is attached through a mild Heck coupling. This provided a direct connection between the ...
