Review on Natural Fiber-Polymer Composites
In August 2014, Dr. Drelich visited the Military Institute of Engineering (MIE) in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and established a research collaboration with this institute in the area of natural fibers and composite materials. At that time he started to … Continue reading
Review on Stent Materials
Metallic stents are commonly used to promote revascularization and maintain patency of plaqued or damaged arteries following balloon angioplasty. To mitigate the long-term side effects associated with corrosion-resistant stents (i.e. chronic inflammation and late stage thrombosis), a new generation of … Continue reading
Sugarcane Waste in Armors
The residue obtained from sugarcane juice extraction, in sugar and ethanol production, is known as bagasse. At the industrial mill, bagasse is either incinerated for steam and power generation or discarded as a waste. The incorporation of bagasse waste into … Continue reading
Cytotoxicity Study for Zn
Zinc (Zn) and its alloys have been introduced by our team as a new class of biodegradable metals with potential application for making biodegradable vascular stents. Although our previous feasibility in vivo study suggested biocompatibility of Zn –based implants in … Continue reading
