Chitosan is the N-deacetylated derivative of chitin, a naturally abundant
mucopolysaccharide that consists of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-d-glucose through a β (1→ 4) …

Three-dimensional porous scaffolds are essential for the development of tissue engineering
and regeneration, as biomimetic supports to recreate the microenvironment present in …

Melamine sponges coated with reduced graphene oxide/carbon nanotube (rGO–CNT
sponges) through a dip-coating method were fabricated that provide a large electrical …

Porous conducting polymers are of great interest because of the huge potential to combine
high surface areas in the dry state with physical properties relevant to organic electronics …

Electrode materials with high specific surface area (area per volume or weight) and high

This work compares the performance of four microbial fuel cells (MFCs) equipped with
different cheap electrodic materials during two-month long tests, in which they were …

Significant progress is described in the development of cellular solids, specifically functional
and multifunctional foams, prepared by bioinspired approaches and consisting of green …

This work describes a simple synthetic route to induce chitosan (CHI) gelation by the in situ
formation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). AuNPs were obtained by thermal treatment (eg, 40 …

Free-standing macroporous bioglass scaffolds were prepared by a sol–gel route. The ice-
