Dual-sided centripetal microgrooved poly (D,L-lactide-co-caprolactone) disk encased in immune-regulating hydrogels for enhanced bone regeneration

Well-designed artificial scaffolds are urgently needed due to the limited self-repair capacity of bone, which hampers effective regeneration in critical defects.Optimal scaffolds must provide physical guidance to recruit cells and immune regulation to improve the regenerative microenvironment.This study presents a novel scaffold composed of dual-si

Toughness of polyester matrix composites reinforced with sugarcane bagasse fibers evaluated by Charpy impact tests

The fibers extracted from the sugarcane bagasse have been investigated as possible reinforcement for polymer matrix composites.The use of these composites in engineering applications, associated with conditions such as ballistic armor, requires information on the impact toughness.In the present work, Charpy tests were performed in ASTM standard spe
