Influence of 4-vinylbenzylation on the rheological and swelling properties of photo-activated collagen hydrogels
Giuseppe Tronci, Colin A. Grant, Neil H. Thomson +2
Covalent functionalisation of collagen has been shown to be a promising strategy to adjust the mechanical properties of highly swollen collagen hydrogels. At the same time, seconda…
Biomimetic wet-stable fibres via wet spinning and diacid-based crosslinking of collagen triple helices
M. Tarik Arafat, Giuseppe Tronci, Jie Yin +2
One of the limitations of electrospun collagen as bone-like fibrous structure is the potential collagen triple helix denaturation in the fibre state and the corresponding inadequat…
Compositional and in Vitro Evaluation of Nonwoven Type I Collagen/Poly-dl-lactic Acid Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration
Xiangchen Qiao, Stephen J. Russell, Xuebin Yang +2
Poly-dl-lactic acid (PDLLA) was blended with type I collagen to attempt to overcome the instantaneous gelation of electrospun collagen scaffolds in biological environments. Scaffol…
Wet-spinnability and crosslinked fibre properties of two collagen polypeptides with varied molecular weight
Giuseppe Tronci, Ramya Sri Kanuparti, M. Tarik Arafat +3
The formation of naturally-derived materials with wet stable fibrous architectures is paramount in order to mimic the features of tissues at the molecular and microscopic scale. He…
Investigation into the potential use of Poly (vinyl alcohol)/Methylglyoxal fibres as antibacterial wound dressing components
Sophie E. L. Bulman, Parikshit Goswami, Giuseppe Tronci +2
As problems of antibiotic resistance increase, a continuing need for effective bioactive wound dressings is anticipated for the treatment of infected chronic wounds. Naturally deri…
