3D bioprinting of liver-mimetic construct with alginate/cellulose nanocrystal hybrid bioink
Wu, Yun; Lin, Zhi Yuan (William); Wenger, Andrew; Tam, Kam C.; Tang, Xiaowu (Shirley) (Elsevier, 2018-03-01)3D bioprinting is a novel platform for engineering complex, three-dimensional (3D) tissues that mimic real ones. The development of hybrid bioinks is a viable strategy that integrates the desirable properties of the ... -
Convenient characterization of polymers grafted on cellulose nanocrystals via SI-ATRP without chain cleavage
Zhang, Zhen; Tam, Kam C.; Sèbe, Gilles; Wang, Xiaosong (Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Cleaving is usually required to characterize the molecular weight of grafted polymers on substrates. Here, we report on a technique to estimate the molecular weight of grafted polystyrene (PS) (Mngrafted PS) in PS-grafted ... -
Encapsulation and controlled release of vitamin C in modified cellulose nanocrystal/chitosan nanocapsules
Baek, Jiyoo; Ramasamy, Mohankandhasamy; Willis, Natasha Carly; Kim, Dae Sung; Anderson, William A.; Tam, Kam C. (Elsevier, 2021)Vitamin C (VC), widely used in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, is susceptible to degradation, and new formulations are necessary to maintain its stability. To address this challenge, VC encapsulation was achieved ...
