A Coupled FEM-SPH Modeling Technique to Investigate the Contractility of Biohybrid Thin Films.

Advanced biosystems
Biohybrid actuators have the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional actuators employed in robotics, thanks to the unique features of living contractile muscle cells, which can be used to power artificial elements. This paper describes a...

Optimization and modelling of enzymatic polymerization of ε-caprolactone to polycaprolactone using Candida Antartica Lipase B with response surface methodology and artificial neural network.

Enzyme and microbial technology
Recently enzymatic catalysts have replaced organic and organometallic catalysts in the synthesis of bio-resorbable polymers. Enzymatic polymerization is considered as an alternative to conventional polymerization as they are less toxic, environmental...

Magnetically Coated Bioabsorbable Stents for Renormalization of Arterial Vessel Walls after Stent Implantation.

Nano letters
The insertion of a stent in diseased arteries is a common endovascular procedure that can be compromised by the development of short- and long-term inflammatory responses leading to restenosis and thrombosis, respectively. While treatment with drugs,...

Bioinspired Robotic Fingers Based on Pneumatic Actuator and 3D Printing of Smart Material.

Soft robotics
In this article, we have proposed a novel robotic finger design principle aimed to address two challenges in soft pneumatic grippers-the controllability of the stiffness and the controllability of the bending position. The proposed finger design is c...

Synthesis of Water-Soluble Imidazolium Polyesters as Potential Nonviral Gene Delivery Vehicles.

Biomacromolecules
The inherent hydrolytic reactivity of polyesters renders them excellent candidates for a variety of biomedical applications. Incorporating ionic groups further expands their potential impact, encompassing charge-dependent function such as deoxyribonu...

Controlled surface morphology and hydrophilicity of polycaprolactone toward human retinal pigment epithelium cells.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
Applying scaffolds as a bed to enhance cell proliferation and even differentiation is one of the treatment of retina diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) which deteriorating photoreceptors and finally happening blindness. In this s...

Optimizing parameters on alignment of PCL/PGA nanofibrous scaffold: An artificial neural networks approach.

International journal of biological macromolecules
This paper proposes an artificial neural networks approach to finding the effects of electrospinning parameters on alignment of poly(ɛ-caprolactone)/poly(glycolic acid) blend nanofibers. Four electrospinning parameters, namely total polymer concentra...

Estimation of the average molecular weight of microbial polyesters from FTIR spectra using artificial intelligence.

Analytical sciences : the international journal of the Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry
In this paper, we present a method for calculating the average molecular weight of microbial polyesters using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) data as input. FTIR spectra provide the necessary quantitative information, as the impact of ...

DFT-assisted machine learning for polyester membrane design in textile wastewater recovery applications.

Water research
Resource recovery from textile wastewater has attracted increasing interest because it simultaneously addresses wastewater treatment and maximizes the utilization of the residual dyes. Although polyester membranes have demonstrated great potential fo...
