We have compared the effects of different sterilization techniques on the properties of Bombyx mori silk fibroin thin films with the view to subsequent use for corneal tissue engineering. The transparency, tensile properties, corneal epithelial cell

The changes to the polymer microstructure during thermo- and photo-oxidative aging of LLDPE-based films have been investigated by thermal fractionation. During thermo-oxidative aging there was an exponential increase in the rate of the reduction in t

The oxidation of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) films containing the combination of pro-oxidants titanium (IV) dioxide (TiO2) with either cobalt (II) stearate (CoSt) or iron (II) stearate (FeSt) have been evaluated under accelerated photo- a

We have presently evaluated membranes prepared from Bombyx mori silk fibroin (BMSF), for their potential use as a prosthetic Bruch's membrane and carrier substrate for human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell transplantation. Porous BMSF membranes

We have studied the accelerated degradation of three crosslinked poly( l -lactide) (PLLA) networks in 0.1 M NaOH at 37 °C. It was found that the degradation rate depends strongly on the molecular weight between crosslinks ( M c ). Compared to a line

Formation of homo-interpenetrating polymer networks (homo-IPNs) of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and their capacity for calcification are investigated. A sequential method is established to generate IPNs of rank I and II, containing two o

Tissue engineering of the cornea could overcome shortages of donor corneas for transplantation and improve quality. Our aim was to grow an endothelial layer on a substratum suitable for transplant. Silkworm (Bombyx mori) fibroin was prepared as 5 μm

The silk structural protein fibroin displays potential for use in tissue engineering. We present here our opinion of its value as a biomaterial for reconstructing tissues of clinical significance within the human eye. We review the strengths and weak

Poly( l -lactide-co-succinic anhydride) networks were synthesised via the carbodiimide-mediated coupling of poly( l -lactide) (PLLA) star polymers. When 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) alone was used as the catalyst, gelation did not occur. However,

Using an in situ-generated calcium-based initiating species derived from pentaerythritol, the bulk synthesis of well-defined four-arm star poly(L-lactide) oligomers has been studied in detail. The substitution of the traditional initiator, stannous o
