Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of a single gecko seta
Gerrit Huber,Steffen Orso,Ralph Spolenak,Ulrike G. K. Wegst,Susan Enders,Stanislav N. Gorb,Eduard Arzt,Eduard Arzt +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the stress and strain response of hairlike gecko setae and found that the setae have diameters in the micron range and are part of the attachment organs that enable lizards to cling to surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
New crosslinkers for electrospun chitosan fibre mats. Part II: mechanical properties
TL;DR: The mechanical performance of the mat structure and mechanical performance depend on the different crosslinking agents genipin, epichlorohydrin, and hexamethylene-1,6-diaminocarboxysulphonate, as well as the post-electrospinning heat and base activation treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure-processing correlations and mechanical properties in freeze-cast Ti-6Al-4V with highly aligned porosity and a lightweight Ti-6Al-4V-PMMA composite with excellent energy absorption capability
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic study on structure-processing correlations in freeze-cast Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds reports, how processing parameters determine the architecture formed during the directional solidification of water-based metal slurries, and after sintering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategies for neurotrophin-3 and chondroitinase ABC release from freeze-cast chitosan-alginate nerve-guidance scaffolds
Nicola L. Francis,Philipp M. Hunger,Philipp M. Hunger,Amalie E. Donius,Ulrike G. K. Wegst,Margaret A. Wheatley +5 more
TL;DR: In vitro evaluation of C–A scaffolds demonstrated the potential of these multifunctional scaffolds for enhancing axonal regeneration through growth‐inhibiting glial scars via the sustained release of chABC and NT‐3 and retained bioactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon black immobilized in electrospun chitosan membranes
TL;DR: In this article, a cross-linked, non-woven fibrous membranes were successfully electrospun from carbon black-chitosan solutions, which exhibited chemical stability in aqueous, acidic, and basic solutions for at least 20 days.
