Development of Silver-Based Bactericidal Composite Nanofibers by Airbrushing
(Amer Scientific Publishers, 2018)
In this article, we report a simple, cost-effective and eco-friendly method of airbrushing for the fabrication of antibacterial composite nanofibers using Nylon-6 and silver chloride (AgCl). The Nylon-6 is a widely used ...
A Study on Extraction and Characterization of Keratin Films and Nanofibers from Waste Wool Fiber
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2020)
Fabrication and characterization of keratin films extracted from waste Merino wool fiber using two different methods and three different pH concentrations is the main focus of this study. Also, wool keratin (WK) loaded ...
A Facile Method for Controlled Fabrication of Hybrid Silver Nanoparticle-Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) Fibrous Constructs with Antimicrobial Properties
(Amer Scientific Publishers, 2019)
Infection is one of the major factors affecting wound healing. The use of polymeric fibrous constructs or scaffolds with encapsulated biologically active components has shown great potential in topical wound care as wound ...
Mechanical characterization of auxetic stainless steel thin sheets with reentrant structure
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2017)
Smart materials in auxetic form present a great potential for various medical applications due to their unique deformation mechanisms along with durable infrastructure. Both analytical and finite element (FE) models are ...
Health care burden of cardiorespiratory diseases caused by particulate matter and chemical air pollutants
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2017)
The public health care burden of cardiorespiratory diseases (CRDs) caused by chemical air pollutants (CO, O3, SO2, CS2, NO2 ) and particulate matter (PM) has escalated during the past few decades in developing countries ...
AN OVERVIEW OF THE APPLICATIONS OF NANOMATERIALS AND DEVELOPMENT OF STENTS IN TREATING CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS

Development of Bioactive Packaging Structure Using Melt Electrospinning
(Springer, 2015)
Recent research attention is shifting towards the use of bioactive antimicrobial and/or antioxidant packaging materials and their fabrication with non-toxic techniques. The process of melt electrospinning produce fibers ...
Fabrication and Characterization of Nonwoven Auxetic Polymer Stent
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2015)
Synthetic biomaterials have better controlled physical and mechanical properties and can be used to tailor both soft and hard tissues. A tiny, expandable mesh tubes called stents keep blood vessels open and allow blood ...
A comparative study of the antibacterial activity of rosemary extract blended with polymeric biomaterials
(American Scientific Publishers, 2016)
Infection associated with biomaterials is a serious and widespread problem in clinical and translational medicine. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a medicinal herb widely used as an antimicrobial agent. The objective ...
Characterization of auxetic polyurethanes foam for biomedical implants
(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2014)
Aging, accidents and diseases are the leading causes of disability in today's world. Therefore, implants and prostheses for hard and soft tissues are becoming increasingly common to restore daily activity and improve the ...
