The challenges posed by the non-biodegradable petroleum-based plastics in food
packaging have sparked interest in biodegradable films. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is one of …

Tissue engineering is a rapidly-growing approach to replace and repair damaged and
defective tissues in the human body. Every year, a large number of people require bone …

The application of hydrogels in nanophotonics has been restricted due to their low
fabrication feasibility and refractive index. Nevertheless, their elasticity and strength are …

The aim of this review was to analyze/investigate the synthesis, properties, and applications
of polyvinyl alcohol–halloysite nanotubes (PVA–HNT), and their nanocomposites. Different …

Hydrogels are promising starting materials for biomimetic soft robots as they are intrinsically
soft and hold properties analogous to nature's organic parts. However, the restrictive mold …

ABSTRACT Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) is a hydrophilic polymer with excellent biocompatibility
and has been applied in various biomedical areas due to its favorable properties. PVA …

Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) is a water soluble synthetic polymer, with a backbone composed
only of carbon atoms and is biodegradable under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions …

We engineered a microneedle patch integrated with cardiac stromal cells (MN-CSCs) for
therapeutic heart regeneration after acute myocardial infarction (MI). To perform cell-based …

Due to their abundance, high strength and stiffness, low weight and biodegradability, nano-
scale cellulose fiber materials (eg, microfibrillated cellulose and bacterial cellulose) serve as …

PVA has been proposed as a promising biomaterial suitable for tissue mimicking, vascular
cell culturing and vascular implanting. In this research, a kind of transparent PVA hydrogel …
