Bioactive glasses, discovered by Hench and co-workers at the end of the 1960s, are among
the most promising biomaterials for bone repair and reconstruction, mainly thanks to their …

Halloysite clay tubes have 50 nm diameter and chemically different inner and outer walls
(inner surface of aluminum oxide and outer surface of silica). Due to this different chemistry …

The major interest of the paper deals with the extraction of silica from four natural sources
such as rice husk, bamboo leaves, sugarcane bagasse and groundnut shell. These waste …

A 3D nanocomposite scaffold of chitosan, gelatin and nano-silica was fabricated by
lyophilization to test the hypothesis that incorporation of nano-SiO2 could produce a better …

The purpose of this study is to prepare and evaluate the effect of synthesized titanium
dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles for their biocompatibility on physiological body fluids and the …

Abstract Hybrid Chitosan/Poly ethylene glycol/calcium silicate (CS/PEG/calcium silicate)
nanocomposite modified with different two types, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) and …

Human bone holds an inherent capacity for repairing itself from trauma and damage, but
concerning the severity of the defect, the choice of implant placement is a must. Additive …

Halloysite nanotubes (Hal) were treated with acid to prepare uniformly charged acid treated
Hal (Hal-A). After acid treatment, the surface charge (zeta potential) of Hal changed from+ …

The unique tubular structure and morphology of inorganic nanotubes makes them very
useful supporting materials for thermal energy storage. Lending these properties in the form …

Lanthanum loaded silica gel/chitosan composite (LaSiCS) was prepared by mixing silica
gel, LaCl3· 7H2O and chitosan which was then cross-linked with glutaraldhyde. The LaSiCS …
