Abstract In this research, a one-step periodontal membrane, with the required function and properties, has been designed as an alternative method of tissue regenerative treatments. Designed nanoporous prototypes from poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL, 70:30 mol...

Bio-derived and biocompatible poly(lactic acid)/silk sericin nanogels and their incorporation within poly(lactide-co-glycolide) electrospun nanofibers

by Medipol | Feb 20, 2023 | Peer reviewed article

Abstract Bio-derived and biocompatible nanogels based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and silk sericin (SS) have been synthesized for the first time. Low molecular weight PLA and SS were first modified using allyl glycidyl ether to create a PLA macromonomer and an SS...

Multifunctional core–shell electrospun nanofibrous fabrics of poly (vinyl alcohol)/silk sericin (core) and poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (shell)

by Medipol | Feb 20, 2023 | Peer reviewed article

Abstract Core–shell fibres (CSFs) offer a simple route to multifunctional hybrid materials for a wide range of applications. Herein, we report the design of a core–shell electrospun nanofibrous fabric containing a hydrophilic core and hydrophobic shell. CSFs were...
