This study explores a biopolymer-based composite system for metal decontamination of water using copper {Cu (II)} as a model pollutant. Novel composite beads of chitosan and amidoxime grafted graphene oxide (AOGO) were successfully prepared and used for the Cu (II) removal from aqueous solutions. For this purpose, acrylonitrile was first polymerize...

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has gradually become the mainstream material for preparing orthopedic implants due to its similar elastic modulus to human bone, high strength, excellent wear resistance, radiolucency, and biocompatibility. Since the 1990s, PEEK has increasingly been used in orthopedics. Yet, the widespread application of PEEK is limited...

Tissue engineering (TE) employs scaffolds as a structural support for initially seeding of cells followed by development of new tissues. Electrospun scaffolds generally function as a template of native extracellular matrix (ECM). The chemical composition of the scaffold and its surface morphology strongly influence the interaction between various c...
