Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced Materials through Assembly of Nanocelluloses.
Eero Kontturi,Päivi Laaksonen,Markus Linder,Nonappa,André H. Gröschel,Orlando J. Rojas,Olli Ikkala +6 more
TL;DR: There is an emerging quest for lightweight materials with excellent mechanical properties and economic production, while still being sustainable and functionalizable, which could form the basis of the future bio economy for energy and material efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drug release from nanoparticles embedded in four different nanofibrillar cellulose aerogels
Hanna Valo,Suvi Arola,Päivi Laaksonen,Mika Torkkeli,Leena Peltonen,Markus Linder,Ritva Serimaa,Shigenori Kuga,Jouni Hirvonen,Timo Laaksonen +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) nanoparticles coated with amphiphilic hydrophobin proteins can be well integrated into the NFC aerogels and modulation of the matrix formers enable a control of the drug release rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interfacial engineering by proteins: exfoliation and functionalization of graphene by hydrophobins
Päivi Laaksonen,Markku Kainlauri,Timo Laaksonen,Andrey Shchepetov,Hua Jiang,Jouni Ahopelto,Markus Linder +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents a method for the exfoliation and functionalization of graphene sheets by an amphiphilic protein, which belongs to a class of proteins called hydrophobins that interacts strongly with hydrophobic surfaces, such as graphite and silicon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Engineering of Biomimetic Nanocomposites: Diblock Proteins, Graphene, and Nanofibrillated Cellulose
Päivi Laaksonen,Andreas Walther,Andreas Walther,Jani-Markus Malho,Markku Kainlauri,Olli Ikkala,Markus Linder +6 more
TL;DR: This work shows the feasibility of genetically engineered proteins having two well-defined binding blocks, denoted as diblock proteins, that bind and assemble the structural components for biomimetic composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immobilization of protein-coated drug nanoparticles in nanofibrillar cellulose matrices--enhanced stability and release.
Hanna Valo,Miia Kovalainen,Päivi Laaksonen,Merja R. Häkkinen,Seppo Auriola,Leena Peltonen,Markus Linder,Kristiina Järvinen,Jouni Hirvonen,Timo Laaksonen +9 more
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that by enclosing the functionalized protein coated itraconazole nanoparticles to the external nanofibrillar cellulose matrix notably increased their storage stability and enhanced the in vivo performance of the drug.
