Advanced functionalization procedures by using proteins, peptides, and bioactive ceramics have provided an enhancement of wettability and bioactivity of implant surfaces. Furthermore, recent findings have revealed a combined beneficial effect of micro- and nano-scale modification and biomimetic functionalization of titanium surfaces. However, some technological developments of implant surfaces are not commercially available yet due to costs and a lack of clinical validation of the novel surfaces. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are necessary to endorse of the use of enhanced biomimetic implant surfaces.","PeriodicalId":11894,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Biomaterials (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82549018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inspired by floral striations, here we developed a scalable means of fabricating custom-tailored photonic cellulose films that contained both cholesteric organization and microscopic wrinkly surface topography. Free-standing films were prepared by molding cellulose nanocrystal ink onto an oriented wrinkled template through evaporation-assisted nanoimprinting lithography, yielding morphology-induced light scattering at a short wavelength as well as optically tunable structural color derived from the helical cellulose matrix. As a result, the interplay between the two photonic structures, grating-like surface and chiral bulk, led to selective scattering of circularly polarized light with specific handedness. Moreover, the wrinkled surface relief on cholesteric cellulose films could be precisely controlled, enabling engineered printing of microscopic patterned images.","PeriodicalId":11894,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Biomaterials (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82097803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work we examine how the inherent macromolecular properties of keratin and lignin can be utilised and developed using green chemistry principles to form 4D functional materials. A new methodology utilising protein complexation by lignin was applied to form copolymers and reinforce keratin cross-linking networks on aqueous and solid state processing. Solubility, chemical and processing characteristics found a favoured 4:1 ratio of keratin to lignin was most desired for effective further processing as 3D printed forms. Thermally processing keratin-lignin with plasticisers and processing aids demonstrated extruded FDM filaments could be formed at temperatures >130˚C, but degradation of keratin-lignin materials was observed. Employing paste printing strategies, keratin-lignin hydrogels could successfully print 3D skirt outlines. This was achieved with aqueous hydrogels prepared at 30-40% solids content with and without plasticizers over a defined processing timeframe. Mechanical response to moisture stimuli was successfully demonstrated for the 4:1 keratin-lignin printed material on water soaking, realising the ability of these keratin-lignin biocomposite materials to introduce a 4th dimensional response after 3D printing.","PeriodicalId":11894,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Biomaterials (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87784353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study five different wheat varieties (HD2687, HD2329, C306, PBW343, HD2307) were selected and were grown in presence of different concentrations of NaCl (100mM, 200mM, 250mM). Increasing concentration of NaCl was found to adversely affect germination rate, shoot and root length.
