Molecular Entanglement and Electrospinnability of Biopolymers

Molecular Entanglement and Electrospinnability of Biopolymers

Electrospinning is a fascinating technique used to fabricate micro- to nano-scale fibers from a wide variety of materials. Molecular entanglement of the constituent polymers in the spinning dope is essential for successful electrospinning. We present a protocol for utilizing rheology to evaluate the electrospinnability of two biopolymers, starch and...

Biosynthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoates by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a Carbon-Rich Medium

Biosynthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoates by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a Carbon-Rich Medium

Begin with a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, isolated from oil-contaminated soil, in a medium containing a nitrogen source and an excess of edible oil as the carbon source.This strain synthesizes polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a long-chain polymer useful in producing bioplastics.Incubate under agitation to facilitate aeration and promote bacterial growth.Initially, the medium supplies both carbon and nitrogen sources to support bacterial proliferation and generate high biomass.After...

Preparation of Biopolymer Aerogels Using Green Solvents

Preparation of Biopolymer Aerogels Using Green Solvents

A new way for the production of biopolymer-based aerogels by carbon dioxide (CO2) induced gelation is shown. The technique utilizes pressurized carbon dioxide (5 MPa) for the production of biopolymer hydrogels and supercritical CO2 (12 MPa) to convert gels into aerogels. The only solvents needed besides CO2 are water and...

Methods for the Self-integration of Megamolecular Biopolymers on the Drying Air-LC Interface

Methods for the Self-integration of Megamolecular Biopolymers on the Drying Air-LC Interface

A method for the drying-induced self-integration of megamolecular biopolymers on the air-liquid crystalline interface is provided here. This methodology will be useful not only for understanding the macroscopic potentials of biopolymers, but also as an evaluation method for soft materials in biomedical and environmental...

Thermally Responsive Biopolymer-Based Inhibition of Tumor Progression in a Rat Model

Thermally Responsive Biopolymer-Based Inhibition of Tumor Progression in a Rat Model

Begin with an anesthetized rat bearing a brain tumor composed of proliferating tumor cells.Expose the rat’s skull and create a hole to reveal the brain region with the tumor.Take a thermally responsive biopolymer fused with a cell-penetrating peptide and an inhibitor of c-myc, an oncogenic protein.Inject the biopolymer into the femoral vein of the hind limb for delivery to the brain.Apply infrared light through the skull hole to heat the tumor site, which induces biopolymer aggregation...
