Injectable bone substitute based on chitosan with polyethylene glycol polymeric solution and biphasic calcium phosphate microspheres.
(Elsevier, 2020-06-10)
We described a method to produce an injectable bone substitute consisting of a solid and liquid phase, this solid was formed using the coacervation method consisting of a mixture of Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and beta-Tricalcium ...
Nanosuspension of pinhão seed coat development for a new high-functional cereal bar.
(Wiley, 2020-03-31)
The seeds from Araucaria angustifolia—commonly named as pinhão—are important culturally, and viable regional food from Brazil. Although now considered an endangered species, methods to increase the awareness of this tree ...
Development of alginate beads with encapsulated jabuticaba peel and propolis extracts to achieve a new natural colorant antioxidant additive.
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
This work aims to encapsulate anthocyanins and phenolic compounds extracted from a native Brazilian fruit peel
- jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora (Mart.) Kausel) and propolis from Tubuna (Scaptotrigona bipunctata) stingless ...
Effect of unidirectional freezing using a thermal camera on polyvinyl (alchohol) for aligned porous cyrogels.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020-03-18)
Unidirectional freeze casting for polymers and ceramics has been performed extensively; however, the mechanisms involved in unidirectional freezing are not thoroughly understood and therefore, in this study, polyvinyl ...
Antioxidant, antibacterial and antitumoral activities of kraft lignin from hardwood factionated by acid precipitation
(Elsevier, 2020-11-10)
Kraft lignin, so far useful for energy generation, has been gathering considerable attention as
an alternative material to replace fossil-based resources mainly due to its high phenolic content.
However, the wide molecular ...
Yerba mate extract in microfibrillated cellulose and corn starch films as a potential wound healing bandage
(MDPI, 2020-11-27)
Microfibrillated cellulose films have been gathering considerable attention due to their high
mechanical properties and cheap cost. Additionally, it is possible to include compounds within the
fibrillated structure in ...
Enzymatic activities and analysis of a mycelium-based composite formation using peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) residues on Lentinula edodes.
(Research Square, 2020-08-03)
By seeding fungus on top of industry residues, a mycelium can grow and form a compacted network
structure, producing a material whose properties can be quite similar to polystyrene. However, depending
on the source used, ...
Effect of cullulose size-concentration on the structure of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels.
(Elsevier, 2020-06-11)
Microfibrillated cellulose as a reinforcement agent has been investigated extensively due to their unique characteristics, which can reorder the structure of polymers and hydrogels leading to improved mechanical properties ...
Characterisation and in vivo evaluation of Araucaria angustifolia pinhão seed coat nanosuspension as a functional food source
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-10-08)
Araucaria angustifolia seeds are culturally important from South America; however, the
seed coat is generally discarded and have yet to find a beneficial commercial impact. We
propose a new formulation to the usage of ...
