Article Synopsis
  • Mandibular defect repair is challenging due to technical limitations, but new biomaterials show promise for improvement in this field.
  • A dual-channel scaffold made from silk fibroin/collagen type-I/hydroxyapatite and polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite was created using advanced cryogenic 3D printing technology.
  • The scaffold demonstrated strong mechanical properties and a uniform stress distribution upon testing, suggesting it has great potential for effective reconstruction of bone defects in the mandible.

The effect of iron impregnation ratio on magnetic biochars (MBCs) prepared by biomass pyrolysis accompanied by KOH activation has been less reported. In this study, MBCs were produced by one-step pyrolysis/KOH-activation of walnut shell, rice husk and cornstalk with different impregnation ratios (0.3-0.

In this study, the CO co-gasification characteristics of pyrolytic oil distillation residue and biochar under different reaction temperatures were investigated by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The influence of blend ratio on co-gasification synergy was adequately characterized by correlating the evolution of chemical structure and active AAEMs. The results indicated that increasing proportion of pyrolytic oil distillation residue could effectively improve gasification reactivity of biochar and enhance synergistic behaviors during co-gasification process, whereas the raising reaction temperature dwindled the enhancement of co-gasification reactivity and mutual promotion between individual samples.

The experiments on bio-oil recovery in a vertical tubular condenser with two flumes were conducted for speculating the componential distribution of walnut shell pyrolysis vapors during condensation. Bio-oil elements and functional groups from different locations of condenser were compared with each other. Aromatic H and H in phenolic OH were concentrated in the top and middle bio-oil and their percentage were improved with increasing water bath temperature.
