Conducting Bio-based Polymers and Composites for Advanced Applications

Discover the latest developments in bio-based polymers and their applications as composites for reducing electronic waste and increasing service life. This mini-review provides insight into their properties and synthesis, as well as those of conductive bio-based polymers for bioelectronics, sensors, and supercapacitors.

Electrospun Nanofibers for Drug Delivery Systems

Local delivery of bioactive molecules using an implantable device can decrease the amount of drug dose required as well as non-target site toxicities compared to oral or systemic drug administration.

Poly(Glycerol Sebacate) in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

The world of commercial biomaterials has stagnated over the past 30 years as few materials have successfully transitioned from the bench to clinical use. Synthetic aliphatic polyesters have continued to dominate the field of resorbable biomaterials due to their long history and track record of approval with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Fabrication of Drug-loaded Microparticles Using Hydrogel Technology and Recent Innovation in Automation

Microparticle drug delivery systems have been extensively researched and applied to a wide variety of pharmaceutical and medical applications due to a number of advantages including injectability, local applicability to target tissues and sites, and controlled drug delivery over a given time period.
