Erythrocyte membranes: Unique constituent of biological/hybri drug delivery systems
(Erythrocytes: Structure, Functions and Clinical Aspects, 2019)
For many decades, the red blood cell membranes were in focus of research interest solely as a model system for investigation into the various membrane-related phenomena, composition/organization or membrane transport ...
Antimicrobial Bioactive Band-Aids with Prolonged and Controlled Action
(Medical and Healthcare Textiles, 2010)
The paper discusses the antimicrobial bioactive band-aids, a modem means of wound management and healing, which are effective against a wide spectrum of microorganisms. Ion-exchange fibres and nonwoven textile materials ...
High pressure modified cotton in wound dressing applications
(Cotton Fibres: Characteristics, Uses and Performance, 2017)
The use of cotton in wound dressing applications is discussed in this chapter. Cotton gauze provides flexibility, controlled adherence to the surrounding tissue, gas permeability, durability and absorbance of fluids exuded ...
Micro and nanoscale morphology characterization of compatibilized polymer blends by microscopy
(Compatibilization of Polymer Blends: Micro and Nano Scale Phase Morphologies, Interphase Characteriz, 2019)
Polymer blends are mostly immiscible at a molecular level due to their large molecular mass. Therefore, the study of the way how two polymers are mixed together is of great interest. The properties of the polymer blend are ...
Vegetable oil as a feedstock for biodiesel synthesis
(Vegetable Oil: Properties, Uses and Benefits, 2016)
Limited reserves of fossil fuels as well as the growing concern for the environment, has led to a worldwide search for renewable energy sources, among which biodiesel, a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), is one ...
Hemp Fibers: Old Fibers - New Applications
(Textiles: History, Properties and Performance and Applications, 2014)
