The surgical repair of a ruptured tendon faces two major problems: specifically increased
fibrous adhesion to the surrounding tissue and inferior mechanical properties of the scar …

(1) Background: Implant-associated bacterial infections are usually hard to treat
conservatively due to the resistance and tolerance of the pathogens to conventional …

Polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in aqueous collagen (Col) dispersion was
studied in the presence of tributylborane (TBB) and p-quinone: 2, 5-di-tert-butyl-p …

Collagen and gelatin isolated from the integumentary tissues of cod are almost identical in
ash content, molecular weight, but significantly differ in dynamic viscosity. The chemical …

Medical apparatus and instruments, such as vascular grafts, are first exposed to blood when
they are implanted. Therefore, blood compatibility is considered to be the critical issue when …

Graft gelatin and poly (methyl methacrylate) copolymers were synthesized in the presence of
the tributylborane—2, 5-di-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone (2, 5-DTBQ) system. The molecular …

Biopolymers, in particular collagen and fibrinogen, are the leading materials for use in tissue
