The strong need for the utilization of industrial by-products and biowaste increases as we transition towards a circular economy. On these grounds, present research aims to explore applicability Symbiotic Culture Bacteria Yeast (SCOBY), by-product functional beverage industry, applications in biomedicine. Herein, hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated SCOBY nanocellulose (SN) nanocomposite (SNHA) was synth...

In order to investigate the effect of humic acid (HA) and nano-calcium chelate on the cut flowers of gerbera cv. Dune, an experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with two factors and three replications in hydroponic conditions. The first factor included humic acid at 4 concentrations of 0 (control), 500, 1000, and 2000 mg L-1 as drench and the second factor was ass...

The efficacy of composite materials for bone tissue engineering is dependent on the materials' ability to support bone regeneration whilst inducing a minimal inflammatory response. In this study we examined the in vitro osteogenic and inflammatory properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-valerate) (PHBV) with various calcium phosphate-reinforcing phases: nano-sized hydroxyapatite (HA); submicr...

In this project, versatile processing techniques are established for improving the internal and external quantum efficiencies of Si MOSLEDs via the detuning the size and density of high-aspect-ration Si nano-rod and buried Si nanospheres. A rapid thermal annealing synthesis of metallic nanodot array is realized to control the size and density control of metallic nanodots as an etching mask for ...

To determine the optimal ratio of nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) to polylactic acid (PLLA) in the novel three-dimensional porous PLLA/n-HA composite scaffolds, low-temperature rapid prototyping technology was employed to fabricate the composite materials with different n-HA contents. Mechanical properties and degradation behaviors of the composites were examined, and the scaffold microstructure and...

Objective(s): Electrospun nanofibrous mats of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and nanohydroxyapatite (nano-HA) were prepared and proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells on the prepared nanofibers were investigated in this study. Materials and Methods: PLA/nano-HA nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning. The effects of process parameters, such as nano-HA concentration, distance, ...

This study aims to critically summarize the literature about nano-hydroxyapatite. The purpose of this work is to analyze the benefits of using nano-hydroxyapatite in dentistry, especially for its preventive, restorative and regenerative applications. We also provide an overview of new dental materials, still experimental, which contain the nano-hydroxyapatite in its nano-crystalline form. Hydro...

Abstract Nano-MgO was prepared by microwave irradiated ionic liquid method. The influence of the volume ([BMIM]Ac), radiation power and temperature on morphology nano-MgO were investigated. characterized TG, XRD, EDS SEM. results showed that this method has a short rod-like shape, uniform particle size, good dispersibility. average diameter rod-shaped 25 nm, length 67 specific surface area 48.2...

The design of synthetic bone grafts to foster bone formation is a challenge in regenerative medicine. Understanding the interaction of bone substitutes with osteoclasts is essential, since osteoclasts not only drive a timely resorption of the biomaterial, but also trigger osteoblast activity. In this study, the adhesion and differentiation of human blood-derived osteoclast precursors (OCP) on t...
