Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer structure-property requirements for stereolithographic 3D printing of soft tissue engineering scaffolds
Ryan J. Mondschein,Akanksha Kanitkar,Christopher B. Williams,Scott S. Verbridge,Timothy Edward Long +4 more
TL;DR: The design of polymers with tailored structure, architecture, and functionality for stereolithography, while maintaining chemical, biological, and mechanical properties to mimic a broad range of soft tissue types are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oil extraction from Scenedesmus obliquus using a continuous microwave system--design, optimization, and quality characterization.
TL;DR: This study validates for the first time the efficiency of a continuous microwave system for extraction of lipids from algae for oil extraction from a variety of feedstock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave assisted extraction of biodiesel feedstock from the seeds of invasive chinese tallow tree.
Dorin Boldor,Akanksha Kanitkar,Beatrice G. Terigar,Claudia Leonardi,Marybeth Lima,Gary A Breitenbeck +5 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that microwave extraction using ethanol as a solvent can be used as a viable alternative to conventional lipid extraction techniques for TT seeds, with corresponding reduction in energy consumption costs per unit of lipid extracted.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical comparison of methyl and ethyl esters production from soybean and rice bran oil in the presence of microwaves.
TL;DR: Transesterification of vegetable oils into methyl and ethyl esters using a batch microwave system was investigated and Methanol performed better in terms of performance and costs, while ethanol may have some environmental and safety benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving cancer therapies by targeting the physical and chemical hallmarks of the tumor microenvironment
TL;DR: The physical and chemical hallmarks of the TME are summarized, and how these tumor characteristics either currently are, or may ultimately be targeted to improve cancer therapies are discussed.
