    Abstract : Basic (apatite-based) calcium phosphate cements (CPCs), and acidic (brushite and monetite-based) CPCs are used as bone replacement materials because of their bioactivity, mouldability and ability to harden in place. However, their application is limited by their inherent brittleness and difficulties related to their handling. READ MORE

    Abstract : Nanocellulose, originated from cellulose, the primary structural component of the cell walls of plants, has garnered significant attention for its excellent mechanical, optical, and barrier properties, as well as its renewable and sustainable nature. Various forms of nanocellulose, including cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), are produced by breaking down lignocellulosic fibers into nanoscale dimensions, typically through mechanical or chemical processes.
