Hybrid Natural Fiber Composites of Polylactic Acid Reinforced with Sisal and Coir Fibers.

This study explored the tensile and impact strength of polylactic acid (PLA) through the incorporation of sisal and coir fibers. Hybrid natural fiber composites were prepared using PLA as the matrix and sisal and coir fibers as the reinforcements. The hybrid composites were prepared with an internal mixer, followed by compression molding.

Gelatin/NaTiO Nanocomposite Scaffolds: Mechanical Properties and Characterization for Tissue Engineering Applications.

Materials and manufacturing technologies are necessary for tissue engineering and developing temporary artificial extracellular matrices. In this study, scaffolds were fabricated from freshly synthesized titanate (NaTiO) and its precursor titanium dioxide and their properties were investigated. The scaffolds with improved properties were then mixed with gelatin to form a scaffold material using the freeze-drying technique.

Optimization of Salt-Leaching Parameters for Gelatin/NaTiO Scaffolds Using a Mixture Design Experiment.

The purpose of this research was to learn the formation of biomedical scaffold material from gelatin by using titanate (NaTiO), which is a newly synthesized derivative of titanium dioxide (TiO) with gelatin. It was prepared by mixed several solutions and cross-linked molecules by heating and salt-leaching. The biomedical scaffold was formed, and its porosity depended on the size of the salt crystal.
