The manufacturing of functional parts from the fused deposition modeling 3D printer is limited due to poor mechanical properties, low surface finish, and huge production time. During 3D printing of prototypes, the time consumption of printing and mechanical properties of the model is directly proportional. The fused deposition modeling process para...

This study employed polydimethylsiloxane and silver nanowire (AgNW) to prepare polymer films for electrocardiography and electromyography sensing. Two approaches were employed to prepare AgNW-based polymer films. In the first approach, AgNW was embedded in polydimethylsiloxane through polymer infiltration. In the second approach, AgNW was applied t...

Wild silk varieties are less explored in the field of biomaterials than cultivated mulberry silk (Bombyx Mori). In the present work, an electrospun scaffold was produced from wild silk, muga (Antheraea assamensis), and it was assessed for the properties required for biomaterials. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the electrospun fiber...
