Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in Magnetic Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications.
Vanessa Fernandes Cardoso,A. Francesko,Clarisse Ribeiro,Manuel Bañobre-López,Pedro Martins,Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez +5 more
TL;DR: The present work addresses the structure, synthesis, properties, and the incorporation of magnetic NPs in nanocomposites, highlighting the most relevant effects of the synthesis on the magnetic and structural properties of the magnet NPs and how these effects limit their utilization in the biomedical area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogel Dressings for Advanced Wound Management.
TL;DR: The objective of this review is to concisely describe the relevance of hydrogel dressings as platforms for delivery of active molecules for improved management of difficult- to-treat wounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silk fibroin-magnetic hybrid composite electrospun fibers for tissue engineering applications
Ricardo Brito-Pereira,Daniela M. Correia,Clarisse Ribeiro,A. Francesko,Ikerne Etxebarria,Leyre Pérez-Álvarez,José Luis Vilas,Pedro Martins,Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the processing parameters, including type and amount of nanoparticles in the composite, on the mean fiber size and size distribution was studied, and it was shown that the fiber diameter decreased with the higher nanoparticles loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between fiber orientation and mechanical properties of nano-engineered poly(vinylidene fluoride) electrospun composite fiber mats
M. M. Maciel,Sylvie Ribeiro,Clarisse Ribeiro,A. Francesko,Alberto Maceiras,José Luis Vilas,Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez,Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the fiber alignment on the tensile properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers has been quantitatively taken into account to determine suitability of the materials for specific applications.
Book ChapterDOI
Lab-on-a-chip technology and microfluidics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors thank the FCT - Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia - for financial support under framework of the Strategic Funding UID/FIS/04650/2013, project PTDC/EEI-SII/5582/2014 and project UID/EEA/04436/2013 by FEDER funds through COMPETE 2020 with the reference project POCI-01-0145-FEDER-006941.
