Vinyl-caprolactam based thermosensitive hydrogel films, capable of detach cell monolayers in a non-aggressive manner upon decrease of temperature, were functionalized with carboxylic groups at different molar percentages ranging from 1 up to 12%. This functionalization was carried out by a bottom-up approach incorporating methacrylic acid (MAA) to...

In this article, we explored the selective antibiofouling capacity acquired by functional wrinkled hydrogel films via a fine tuning of their chemical structure through the gradual insertion of hydrophobic radical groups in their network. The hydrogel consists of three main components: hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA, amphiphilic monomer), trifluoro...

Efficient exfoliation of graphene and related materials (GRM) and fast and inexpensive integration/assembly are crucial to fulfil their full potential. A high degree of exfoliation in organic media can be achieved with high boiling point liquids that usually leave residues after drying, which is a handicap for many applications. Here, the effective...

The primary function of the skin is to serve as a protective barrier against the environment. Loss of integrity of large portions of the skin as a result of injury or illness may lead to major disability, loss of function or even death. Wound healing is a dynamic and interactive process that requires the efforts of many different cell types. Becaus...
