We have developed a novel composite filler with Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS), a biocompatible organic conductive polymer, adsorbed on carbon particles for biological electrodes. This composite filler enables to fabricate high-performance biological electrodes simply by adding it to resin in the same way as conventional conductive fillers. The fabricated electrodes achieve ion exchange properties similar to those of PEDOT:PSS polymers and therefore low skin and electrode contact impedance. Electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements show that these electrodes capture various brain activities and exhibit high correlation (≥ 0.9) to commercially available wet and AgCl electrodes. Additionally, each electrode can be molded into various shapes and structures while retaining its electrode characteristics. Therefore, the proposed electrode is promising for EEG measurement, which requires high comfort and signal quality.

As an exceptional 2D nanofiller, graphene oxide (GO) is extensively employed to amplify the protective properties of coatings. The dispersion of GO significantly influences the protective efficacy of the coatings. Here, a surface modification of GO through the integration of nanosized titanium dioxide (TiO) was employed, thereby facilitating the synthesis of an FGO-TiO nanoparticle characterized by a substantial interlayer spacing (0.

Alternatives to nonbiodegradable synthetic plastics for food packaging include films made from biopolymers that are nontoxic and environment-friendly. In this study, carnauba wax (CW) and nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NG) as functional additives were utilized in the production of pectin/gelatin (PG) film. NG was synthesized through the microwave method, using acetic acid as the carbon source, giving size, and zeta potential of 1.

Exploring new ecological and simultaneous processes to modify wood fibers (WF) by-products is a required pathway toward circular economy and sustainability. Thus, plasma-activated water (PAW) and ultrasound (U) were employed as alternative methods to modify WF in a continuous process. Such treatments promoted the etching and cavities on the WF surface that destabilized the hydrogen bonds of the hemicellulose and lignin molecules, increasing the cellulose fraction.

Spider silk (SPSI) is a promising candidate for use as a filler material in nerve guidance conduits (NGCs), facilitating peripheral nerve regeneration by providing a scaffold for Schwann cells (SCs) and axonal growth. However, the specific properties of SPSI that contribute to its regenerative success remain unclear. In this study, the egg sac silk of is investigated, which contains two distinct fiber types: tubuliform (TU) and major ampullate (MA) silk.
