Summary: In this study, the characteristics and properties of polyvinyl alcohol/silk sericin (PVA/SS) composite nanofiber membrane were investigated. The results showed that the morphology of the composite nanofibers was fine, and the diameter of the nanofibers decreased after treatment with methanol and ethanol steam. The crystallization of the nanofiber membrane was also changed. These findings are important for biomedical materials and tissue engineering scaffolds.

Summary: In this study, composite nanofiber films based on boron carbon nitrogen were prepared by electrospinning, and it was found that the diameter of nanofibers changed with electrospinning voltage and precursor solution concentration. The thermoelectric properties of the films were closely related to the electrospinning quality, with significant improvements in thermoelectric characteristics observed in multilayer nanocomposite fiber films.

Summary: This study aimed to prepare high-precision GelMA/HAp composite scaffolds using digital light processing (DLP) printing for bone repair. GelMA hydrogels with adjustable properties were synthesized, and suitable dispersants were selected to reduce the agglomeration of HAp. The printed composite scaffolds with excellent mechanical strength showed promotion of osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation in vitro. In vivo experiments on rabbit skull defects demonstrated the ability of the composite scaffolds to accelerate new bone formation. The GelMA/HAp porous composite scaffolds fabricated by composite inks with good printability, mechanical properties, and osteogenic activity have great potential in bone repair applications.

Summary: In this study, a conventional PTFE foam-coated glass fabric filter was coated with a nanoparticle-decorated nanofiber filter to improve the surface and filtration performance of baghouse systems used in industrial sites. The coated filter showed improved hydrophobic surface characteristics and better filter performance compared to the uncoated filter. The results indicate that the nanoparticle-decorated nanofiber filter enhances the filtration efficiency and air flow rate while maintaining the surface properties of the uncoated filter.

Summary: In this research, PGS/HAp composite scaffolds were successfully developed and evaluated for their cytocompatibility and biological potential using in vitro models. The HAp-facilitated scaffolds displayed osteoconductive properties and induced the production of osteoclastogenic cytokines, promoting scaffold remodeling and bone tissue reconstruction. Initial biocompatibility tests showed no adverse effects of PGS-based scaffolds towards adult BALB/c mice, demonstrating the promising potential of these materials for bone tissue engineering applications.
