Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implant abutments are widely used in implant dentistry; however, they do not protect the implant against infections. We demonstrated that graphene oxide (GO) coating enhances the integration between implant surfaces and gingival tissues, which is crucial for peri-implant health. The GO coating was tightly fixed onto the ...

Graphene is a widely used material as a therapeutic agent (drug) carrier due to its low toxicity, high surface area, specific flake-shape, 2-dimensional structure and geometry. In order to evaluate the efficiency of drug delivery improved by using graphene oxide as a drug carrier, drug release experiment using Cytochrome-C (Cyto- C), a model drug, ...

The synthesis, characterization and CO2 uptake tendency of a new porous organic polymer (POP) based on porphyrin-pyromellitic dianhyderide is enclosed. The reported porphyrin POP was achieved by exploiting the condensation reaction between tetraaminophenylporphyrin (TAPP) with benzenetetracarboxylic (pyromellitic) diahhydride in dry dimethylforamid...

Conducting polymers, are still fascinating the industrial applications area since their discovery, particularly in the field of chemical sensors. For this purpose, flexible and highly sensitive based polyaniline-strontium (PANI-Sr) films were successfully prepared via a facile in-situ chemical polymerization process of aniline in presence of Sr (NO...

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is one of recently emerging anticancer treatment modalities that involve the use of laser and photosensitizers. To fully explore the therapeutic potential of PTT, it is critical to deliver photosensitizers to tumors specifically. Maltodextrin is a hydrophilic polysaccharide consisting of D-glucose units and has been used ...

Injectable hydrogels have been widely studied for the use as scaffolds or as carriers of therapeutic agents including proteins, cells, drugs, and bioactive molecules in the disease treatment and the regeneration and repair of tissues. Collagen-based hydrogels and pectin that mimic the extracellular matrix are generally applied to maintain the balan...

To improve the adhesive strength between metal and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resin, a metal surface was embossed with an irregular shape, and then we studied the bonding between different materials by insert molding. The irregular embossing of the metal surface was completed by nickel plating using micro particles of artificial diamond ...

The present study sought to obtain a hyperbranched polyester polyol derivative with fluorescent properties. Initially, a 4-((4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzyl)oxy)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (CAV) was synthesized and esterified with a hyperbranched polyester polyol obtained from fourth generation (HBP) to synthesize carbazole-based hyperbranched polyester poly...

An anomalous polystyrene gel was obtained during the copper-catalyzed “activators regenerated by electron transfer” “atom transfer radical polymerization” (ARGET ATRP) of styrene at 60–70 °C, using ascorbic acid/Na2CO3 as the reducing system and EtOAc/EtOH as the solvent mixture. The result is remarkable since no branching nor cross-linking reagent...

In this study, we evaluated the biosafety of a novel polyetheretherketone (PEEK) copolymer [P(E2-E4)K] composite using an animal model to test an implanted orthopedic spine cage. The PEEK copolymer was synthesized by solution polymerization with diphenyl sulfone solvent and blended with carbon fibers and graphene oxide to produce the composite. The...
