Introduction to the themed collection on metal extraction and recycling.

Professor Isabelle Billard, Professor Alexandre Chagnes, Dr Euan Doidge, Professor Jason Love and Professor Magdalena Regel-Rosocka, introduce this themed collection on metal extraction and recycling.

Deep eutectic solvent-assisted fabrication of bioinspired 3D carbon-calcium phosphate scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

Tissue engineering is a burgeoning field focused on repairing damaged tissues through the combination of bodily cells with highly porous scaffold biomaterials, which serve as templates for tissue regeneration, thus facilitating the growth of new tissue. Carbon materials, constituting an emerging class of superior materials, are currently experiencing remarkable scientific and technological advancements. Consequently, the development of novel 3D carbon-based composite materials has become significant for biomedicine.
