A new design approach for the fabrication of scaffolds for biomedical applications.
Triazole-based Glassy Photopolymer Networks with Superior Tensile Toughness
Thermosetting photopolymers with high stiffness, strength and thermoplastic-like ductility.
Infrared-Driven Generation of Hydrogen Gas
IR-driven transfer of plasmon-induced hot electrons in a nonmetallic branched heterostructure, by combining ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy with theoretical simulations, is demonstrated for the first time.
Gold-based Nanoscaffold for Peripheral Nerve Injuries [Video]
Shanghai Jiao Tong University researchers design a novel nerve guidance conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration. The performance of the polydopamine-coated, gold polycaprolactone nanoscaffold is enhanced when loaded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and Schwann cells.
