Ionic liquid-based materials for biomedical applications
Correia, Daniela Maria; Fernandes, Liliana Correia; Fernandes, Margarida; Hermenegildo, Bruno; Meira, Rafaela; Ribeiro, Clarisse; Ribeiro, SylvieIonic liquids (ILs) have been extensively explored and implemented in different areas, ranging from sensors and actuators to the biomedical field. The increasing attention devoted to ILs centers on their unique properties and possible combination of different cations and anions, allowing the development of materials with specific functionalities and requirements for applications. Particularly for biomedical app...

Ribeiro, Sylvie; Meira, Rafaela; Correia, Daniela M.; Tubio, Carmen R.; Ribeiro, Clarisse; Baleizão, Carlos; Lanceros-Méndez, S.Composites based on a piezoelectric polymer (PVDF) doped with different silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) content (8, 16 and 32wt%) and functionalization (WF-without, NF-negative and PF-positive) have been investigated. Composite films were prepared by solvent casting and melt crystallization to investigate the effect of the presence of the SiNPs on the physico-chemical characteristics and, in particular, in the nuc...
