Elastin-based Biopolymers for Biomedical and Biotechnological Applications
Perhaps the most appealing opportunity is represented by gaining inspiration from nature for the precise tailoring of biomaterials with finely tuned unique functional properties. A very promising model is represented by Human Elastin-Like Polypeptides (HELP), repetitive artificial polypeptides based on pentaor hexapeptidic motifs that characterize elastin. These protein polymers retain several ...
متن کاملMicrobial Biopolymers in Biomedical Field
Biodegradable plastics has gained significant commercial interest in recent years as they are having similar properties to that of the synthetic plastic used now a days, they are completely bio-degradable, are produced from natural (microbial) sources and are biocompatible in human system. These properties make PHB as an ideal candidate for various applications in medical field. The present art...
متن کاملBiopolymers: overview of several properties and consequences on their applications
Recently, interest in composite manufacturing has shifted towards the use of natural fibres as reinforcement because of their environmental benefits. The use of a biodegradable matrix is worth considering since this would result in a completely biodegradable composite. In order to assess the most suitable matrix polymer, one must know the properties of the available polymers. Since data tend to...
متن کاملEmerging Biomedical Sensing Technologies and Their Applications
Recent progress in biomedical sensing technologies has resulted in the development of several novel sensor products and new applications. Modern biomedical sensors developed with advanced microfabrication and signal processing techniques are becoming inexpensive, accurate, and reliable. A broad range of sensing mechanisms has significantly increased the number of possible target measurands that...
متن کاملNanoscale assemblies and their biomedical applications.
Nanoscale assemblies are a unique class of materials, which can be synthesized from inorganic, polymeric or biological building blocks. The multitude of applications of this class of materials ranges from solar and electrical to uses in food, cosmetics and medicine. In this review, we initially highlight characteristic features of polymeric nanoscale assemblies as well as those built from biolo...
