APPLICATION OF BIODEGRADABLE AND BIOCOMPATIBLE NANOCOMPOSITES IN ELECTRONICS: CURRENT STATUS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Application of Biodegradable and Biocompatible Nanocomposites in Electronics: Current Status and Future Directions

With the continuous increase in the production of electronic devices, large amounts of electronic waste (E-waste) are routinely being discarded into the environment.This causes serious environmental and ecological problems because of the non-degradable polymers, released hazardous chemicals, and toxic heavy metals.The appearance of biodegradable po

Interstitial Perfusion Culture with Specific Soluble Factors Inhibits Type I Collagen Production from Human Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes in Clinical-Grade Collagen Sponges.

Articular cartilage has poor healing ability and cartilage injuries often evolve to osteoarthritis.Cell-based strategies aiming to engineer cartilaginous tissue through the combination of biocompatible scaffolds and articular chondrocytes represent an alternative to standard surgical techniques.In this context, perfusion bioreactors have been intro
