Novel inks were formulated by dissolving polycaprolactone (PCL), a hydrophobic polymer, in organic solvent systems; polyethylene oxide (PEO) was incorporated to extend the range of hydrophilicity system. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) with weight ratio 55–85% added polymer-based solution mimic material composition natural bone tissue. The direct ink writing (DIW) technique applied extrude fabricate prede...

Objective(s): The present study aimed to fabricate chitosan/polyethylene oxide (CS/PEO) electrospun nanofibers loaded with Aloe vera extract for biomedical applications. The polymer-to-extract ratio and electrospinning parameters (applied voltage and nozzle-to-collector distance) were evaluated in order to optimize the process of nanofiber fabrication. Materials and Methods: The character...

Polymers occupy a central role in current society due to their utility and versatile properties. As part of the class soft materials, polymers have also been employed research through nanostructuration functionalization, looking for development new metamaterials with wide applicability science society. A particular polymer, Polyethylene, has widely used both commodities, ways nanostructure impr...
