Biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol/nano-hydroxyapatite composite membrane enhanced by MXene nanosheets for guided bone regeneration
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2024 Apr 8;155:106540. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106540. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMXene, as a new category of two-dimensional nanomaterials, exhibits a promising prospect in biomedical applications due to its ultrathin structure and morphology, as well as a range of remarkable properties such as biological, chemical, electronic, and optical properties. In this work, different concentrations of MXene (M) were added to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, P)/nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA, H) mixed solution, and series of PVA/n-HA/MXene (PHM) composite membranes were obtained by combining sol-gel and freeze-dry...

Cutting-Edge Developments in MXene-Derived Functional Hybrid Nanostructures: A Promising Frontier for Next-Generation Water Purification Membranes
This article provides a current explanation of the design and performance assessment of MXene-based membranes. The production of MXenes nanosheets are first described, with an emphasis on exfoliation, dispersion stability, and processability, which are essential elements for membrane construction. Further, critical discussion is also given to MXenes potential applications in Vacuum assisted filtration, casting method, Hot press method, electrospinning and electrochemical deposition and layer-by-layer assembly for the creation of MXene and MXene derived nanocomposite membranes. Additionally, the discussion is carried forwar...

Mechanical, structural, and morphological differences in the iliac arteries
We examined 33 arterial specimens from common iliac (CI), external iliac (EI), and internal iliac (II) arteries obtained from 11 human donors (62 ± 12 years). We conducted morphometric, mechanical, and structural analyses using planar biaxial tests, constitutive modeling, and bi-directional histology on transverse and axial sections. The iliac arteries exhibited increased tortuosity and varying disease distribution with age. CI and II arteries displayed non-uniform age-related disease progression around their circumference, while EI remained healthy even in older individuals. Trends in load-free and stress-free thickness ...
