Lactide and Ethylene Brassylate-Based Thermoplastic Elastomers and Their Nanocomposites with Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis, Mechanical Properties and Interaction with Astrocytes
(MDPI, 2022-11-01)
Polylactide (PLA) is among the most commonly used polymers for biomedical applications thanks to its biodegradability and cytocompatibility. However, its inherent stiffness and brittleness are clearly inappropriate for the ...
Influence of rGO on the Crystallization Kinetics, Cytoxicity, and Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Poly (L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) Scaffolds
(MDPI, 2022-10-23)
Biodegradable scaffolds of poly (L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were prepared by TIPS (thermally induced phase separation). The nonisothermal cold crystallization kinetics were ...
Local Structure and Protons in Non-Stoichiometric Pseudo-Cubic Pollucite Mineral by Multinuclear NMR
(MDPI, 2022-09-20)
The pollucite structure is considered as a candidate ceramic crystalline matrix for the ceramic immobilization and long-term storage of 135Cs and 137Cs fission products, and thus, their structural characteristics have ...
Host Genetics and Microbiota Interactions in Colorectal Cancer: Shared or Independent Risk?
(MDPI, 2022-10-27)
The role of microbiota in colorectal cancer has been studied since alterations in its composition were observed. In addition, there are more and more pieces of evidence that microbiota could be implicated in colorectal ...
Magnetic Vortex Core String Gyrotropic Oscillations in Thick Cylindrical Dots
(MDPI, 2022-07-19)
The nonuniform magnetic vortex gyrotropic oscillations along the cylindrical dot thickness were calculated. A generalized Thiele equation was used for describing the vortex core motion including magnetostatic and exchange ...
Nonwoven Mats Based on Segmented Biopolyurethanes Filled with MWCNT Prepared by Solution Blow Spinning
(MDPI, 2022-10-05)
To prepare nonwoven mats constituted by submicrometric fibers of thermally responsive biopolyurethanes (TPU) modified with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), solution blow spinning (SBS) was used. The TPU was the product ...
Structural and Magnetic Properties of FeNi Films and FeNi-Based Trilayers with Out-of-Plane Magnetization Component
(MDPI, 2022-10-31)
FeNi films of different thickness and FeNi/(Fe, Co)/FeNi trilayers were prepared by magnetron sputtering deposition onto glass substrates. The permalloy films had a columnar microstructure. The detailed analysis of the ...
Quantum Energy Current Induced Coherence in a Spin Chain under Non-Markovian Environments
(MDPI, 2022-10-01)
We investigate the time-dependent behaviour of the energy current between a quantum spin chain and its surrounding non-Markovian and finite temperature baths, together with its relationship to the coherence dynamics of the ...
Validation of HepG2/C3A Cell Cultures in Cyclic Olefin Copolymer Based Microfluidic Bioreactors
(MDPI, 2022-10-22)
Organ-on-chip (OoC) technology is one of the most promising in vitro tools to replace the traditional animal experiment-based paradigms of risk assessment. However, the use of OoC in drug discovery and toxicity studies ...
The Colour, Composition and Eating Quality of Beef from Late- or Early-Maturing Suckler Bulls Finished at Pasture with or without Concentrate Supplementation
(MDPI, 2022-09-14)
Carcasses from pasture-finished early-maturing (EM), rather than late-maturing (LM), breed bulls may be more suited to meet the minimum carcass fatness classification of 2+ (6.0 on a 15-point scale) required for some ...
