Electroactive nanostructured scaffold produced by controlled deposition of PPy on electrospun PCL fibres
TL;DR: The obtained results from filament staining suggested the high potentials of the conducting scaffold for use in neural tissue engineering, and was found that electrical conductivity of the PPy coated PCL nanofibre was much higher than that of PCL mixed with PPy in other studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of printable double-network hydrogels with rapid self-healing and high elasticity based on hyaluronic acid for controlled drug release
TL;DR: In this article, a dual-network hydrogel for drug delivery was designed, where the acrylamide-modified hyaluronic acid was mixed with folic acid and Fe3+ at first.
