A Phenomenological Approach to Study Mechanical Properties of Polymeric Porous Structures Processed Using Supercritical CO
TL;DR: The results indicate that materials processed using scCO2, when submitted to large stresses, do not obey Hooke´s law and must be considered as hyperelastic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of divalent cations with carboxylate group in TEMPO-oxidized microfibrillated cellulose systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the electrostatic interaction of the anionic pulp fibers and the fibrils with Ca2+ and Mg2+ would promote internal bonding of the fiber-fibril network that would then reflect positively on the film properties.

Effect of alternan versus chitosan on the biological properties of human mesenchymal stem cells
Thanapon Charoenwongpaiboon,Kantpitchar Supraditaporn,Phatchanat Klaimon,Karan Wangpaiboon,Rath Pichyangkura,Surapol Issaragrisil,Chanchao Lorthongpanich +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that alternan and chitosan activates the toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway suggesting that these cells may be prone to differentiation, and these novel roles of alternan may have important beneficial medical applications and may provide a basis from which stem cell therapies can be developed in the future.
