Ionic liquid modified electroactive polymer-based microenvironments for tissue ...
Hermenegildo, B.; Meira, R. M.; Díez, A. G.; Correia, Daniela Maria Silva; Ribeiro, S.; Serra, J. P.; Ribeiro, Clarisse; Pérez-Álvarez, L.The combination of electroactive polymers and ionic liquids (ILs) has been gaining much attention for tissue engineering. Thus, this work reports on the development of oriented electrospun fibers and films based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and polyhydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) blended with the IL choline acetate ([Chol][Ac]). The inclusion of IL into the polymer matrix induces a decrease in ...
Poly(lactic-co-glycolide) based biodegradable electrically and magnetically act...
Hermenegildo, B.; Meira, Rafaela Marques; Correia, Daniela Maria Silva; Díez, A. G.; Ribeiro, Sylvie Oliveira; Serra, J. P.; Ribeiro C.Polymer scaffolds are playing an increasing role in tissue engineering (TE), although there is still a need to improve their biomimicry of cellular microenvironments, by having smart scaffolds with an active response, which can improve tissue regeneration. This work reports on the novel combination of poly(lactic-co-glycolide) (PLGA) with the ionic liquid (IL) choline bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Chol][T...
