TL;DR: In this paper, cellulose nanofibers were extracted from banana fibers via a steam explosion technique, and the chemical composition, morphology and thermal properties of the nanofiber were characterized to investigate their suitability for use in bio-based composite material applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and characterisation of silver-doped bioactive glass-coated sutures for tissue engineering and wound healing applications.
TL;DR: Resorbable sutures with bioactive coatings as fabricated here, in conjunction with 3-D textile technology, may provide attractive materials for producing3-D scaffolds with controlled porosities for tissue engineering applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioactive composite materials for tissue engineering scaffolds.
TL;DR: This review covers recent international research presenting the state-of-the-art development of these composite systems in terms of material constituents, fabrication technologies, structural and bioactive properties, as well as in vitro and in vivo characteristics for applications in tissue engineering and tissue regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
PDLLA/Bioglass® composites for soft-tissue and hard-tissue engineering: an in vitro cell biology assessment
TL;DR: The biocompatibility of PDLLA/Bioglass composite foams and the positive effect of Bioglass on MG-63 cell behaviour were confirmed and showed for the first time the possibility for human lung epithelial type II cells to adhere and proliferate on these porous scaffolds.
