    • Development of Composite Hydrogel Based Biosensors Using Nanofilm Bound Bioactive Microdomains 
      Biswas, Aniket (2017-09-26)
      Composite materials have recently been introduced as versatile systems for embedding functional microdomains within moldable hydrogels. Potential applications for these materials include optical biosensing, drug delivery, ...
    • Fibrous/Hydrogel Composite Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering Applications 
      Javaid, Rukhma (2023-08-08)
      The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an essential role in regulating cellular behavior and preserving tissue homeostasis. It serves as a structural support and controls specific cellular activities such as adhesion, ...
    • Material Assembly From Collective Action of Shape Changing Polymers 
      Abdelrahman, Mustafa Kamal (2023-07-09)
      In this work, we develop synthetic aggregates through the collective action of programmable shape changing polymers. We explore the potential use of shape-morphing semicrystalline polymers to behave as building blocks for ...
    • Mineral-based nanoparticles for arthritis treatment 
      Gaharwar, Akhilesh K.; Carrow, James K. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2021-01-26)
      Aspects of the invention are directed to mineral-based nanoparticles comprising silicate nanoparticles that induce human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into a cartilage-lineage through the upregulation of cartilage-specific ...
    • Nanocomposite Ionic-covalent Entanglement Reinforcement Mechanism And Hydrogel 
      Gaharwar, Akhilesh K.; Chimene, David (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 8/16/2022)
      A biodegradable and biocompatible three dimensional construct comprising a combination of a nano silicate (e.g., laponite) and two different polymers, the two polymers each individually providing at least one covalently ...
