This study shows that chitosan (CS) could be highly useful as a coupling agent in phosphate glass fibre/polycaprolactone (PGF/PCL) composites, as it improved the interfacial shear strength by up to 78%. PGFs of composition 45P2O5-5B2O3-5Na2O-24CaO-10... Read More about Chitosan as a coupling agent for phosphate glass fibre/polycaprolactone composites.

The mechanical property, degradation and cytocompatibility analysis of novel phosphate glass fiber textiles (2018)
Journal Article
Zhu, C., Ahmed, I., Parsons, A., Liu, J., & Liu, X. (2019). The mechanical property, degradation and cytocompatibility analysis of novel phosphate glass fiber textiles. Textile Research Journal, 89(16), 3280-3290. https://doi.org/10.1177/0040517518809052

© The Author(s) 2018. Phosphate glass fibers have been widely considered as potential biomedical materials for orthopedical application due to their full degradability and excellent cytocompatibility. In this study, phosphate-based glass fibers were... Read More about The mechanical property, degradation and cytocompatibility analysis of novel phosphate glass fiber textiles.

Novel bioresorbable textile composites for medical applications (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Zhu, C., Ahmed, I., Parsons, A. J., Wang, Y., Tan, C., Liu, J., …Liu, X. (2018). Novel bioresorbable textile composites for medical applications. In N/A

Currently, phosphate glass fibre (PGF) reinforced composites are a potential solution for bone repairing due to sufficient mechanical properties and full bioresorbability. In this study, a small inkle-type loom for hand weaving facilitated the produc... Read More about Novel bioresorbable textile composites for medical applications.
