20 kwi 2024 · Examples of natural polymers include collagen, fibrin, and polysaccharides, such as hyaluronic acid and alginate . Polymers found in nature consist of diverse biological cues that include sequences for cell adhesion. Consequently, they are capable of being identified by cells.
Linear polymers consist of natural polymers such as collagen, gelatin, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and synthetic polymers such as polylactic acid, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), polycaprolactone, and polyanhydrides. However, the development of bone implants that perform perfectly is still ongoing.
1 dzień temu · We start presenting an overview on recent applications of linear polymers and networks in condensed matter physics, chemistry and biology by briefly discussing selected papers (published within 2022–2024) in some detail. They are organized into three main subsections: polymers in physics (further subdivided into simulations of coarse-grained models and structural properties of materials ...
20 sty 2022 · Bioplastics — typically plastics manufactured from bio-based polymers — stand to contribute to more sustainable commercial plastic life cycles as part of a circular economy, in which virgin...
Natural polymers: cellulose and DNA, versatile and vital in nature. Cellulose: from tree bark to flexible paper. DNA: natural polymer carrying genetic information, with complex functionality. Synthetic polymers: nylon and polyethylene, engineered for specific uses. Nylon: strong and versatile, revolutionizing textiles and beyond.
1 sty 2020 · Polymers can be transferred to different types of composites, and find extensive applications in environmental technologies, energy generation, storage devices, solar cells, and biomedical engineering. This chapter discusses the increase in production rate and cost of polymers during the past century up to the present date.
