Electrospun aligned PCLl/gelatin scaffolds mimicking the skin ECM for effective antimicrobial wound dressings by Ghomi, Erfan Rezvani, Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani, Chellappan, Vijila, Verma, Navin Kumar, Chinnappan, Amutha, Neisiany, Rasoul Esmaeely, Amuthavalli, Kottaiswamy, Poh, Zhi Sheng, Wong, Brandon Han Siang, Dubey, Nileshkumar, Narayan, Roger, Ramakrishna, Seeram

“…Mammalian cell proliferation and morphology assays involving primary human dermal fibroblasts (hDFs) and immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) showed excellent biocompatibility of the electrospun mats and remarkably aligned mats. Furthermore, aligned mats showed more cell migration than randomly oriented mats, which is desirable for more efficient wound healing. …”

Muscle-inspired formable wood-based phase change materials by Liu, Yifan, Lv, Zhisheng, Zhou, Jiazuo, Cui, Zequn, Li, Wenlong, Yu, Jing, Chen, Lixun, Wang, Xin, Wang, Meng, Liu, Kunyang, Wang, Hui, Ji, Xinyao, Hu, Senwei, Li, Jian, Loh, Xian Jun, Yang, Haiyue, Chen, Xiaodong, Wang, Chengyu

“…The material, in its hydrated state, demonstrates low stiffness and pliability due to the weak hydrogen bonding between aligned wood fibers and PVA molecules. Through treatment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) into the PVA/wood PEG gel (PEG/PVA/W) with strengthened hydrogen bonds, the resulting wood-based PCMs in the hard and melting states elevate the tensile stress from 10.14 to 80.86 MPa and the stiffness from 420 MPa to 4.8 GPa, making it 530 times stiffer than the PEG/PVA counterpart. …”
