Cellulose fibers, cell wall fragments and cellulose microfibrils can be used as reinforced materials for biocomposite manufacture. Understanding nano-mechanical properties of those materials will be very useful to show their full theoretical potential. Nanoindentation testing is a technique that determines the mechanical properties of a material in the sub-micron/nano scale. The test involves p...

Isolated traumatic subscapularis tendon tears are uncommon at any age. In adolescent patients, this type of injury is even more infrequent and usually presents as a bony avulsion of the lesser tuberosity. This report reviews a case of an adolescent American football player sustaining a posterior impact to an abducted, extended arm that resulted in an isolated subscapularis tendon tear. Magnetic...

Abstract The replacement of expensive components in microbial growth media with pretreated lignocellulosic waste component to increase the product spectrum and add value bioproducts has been encouraged achieve sustainable feasible utilization biomass as per biorefinery approach. This study demonstrates an integrated approach towards sugarcane bagasse Mucor circinelloides ZSKP. A maximum reducin...

Food packaging is often made from plastic, which usually obtained non-renewable resources. The development of new technologies, like biocomposite films, has been driven in response to environmental concerns as well consumer demands for eco-friendly, high-quality products derived nature. Biocomposite films were prepared by incorporating taro mucilage, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), ZnO, glycerol...

At CITO Clinic of bone pathology new biocomposite material Osteomatrix was used in 15 patients (mainly with tumors and tumor-like diseases) for the plasty post-resection defects. is composed collagen, hydroxyapatite sulfated glycosaminoglycanes. produced at together Conectbiopharm Ltd. form granules blocks. Observation dynamics roentgenologic control showed good tolerance by distinct accelerate...

In this study, bioactive composite systems based on natural polymers (chitosan and lignin) were prepared in study. The structural, mechanical, morphological properties of chitosan-based materials containing various amounts lignin filler investigated. infra-red IR spectroscopy data confirmed the formation chemical bonds between components obtained composites. mechanical film samples studied air ...
