Bridging Nature and Engineering: Protein-Derived Materials for Bio-Inspired Applications.

The sophisticated, elegant protein-polymers designed by nature can serve as inspiration to redesign and biomanufacture protein-based materials using synthetic biology. Historically, petro-based polymeric materials have dominated industrial activities, consequently transforming our way of living. While this benefits humans, the fabrication and disposal of these materials causes environmental sustainability challenges. Fortunately, protein-based biopolymers can compete with and potentially surpass the performance of petro-based polymers because they can be biologically produced and degraded in an environmentally friendly fashion. This paper reviews four groups of protein-based polymers, including fibrous proteins (collagen, silk fibroin, fibrillin, and keratin), elastomeric proteins (elastin, resilin, and wheat glutenin), adhesive/matrix proteins (spongin and conchiolin), and cyanophycin. We discuss the connection between protein sequence, structure, function, and biomimetic applications. Protein engineering techniques, such as directed evolution and rational design, can be used to improve the functionality of natural protein-based materials. For example, the inclusion of specific protein domains, particularly those observed in structural proteins, such as silk and collagen, enables the creation of novel biomimetic materials with exceptional mechanical properties and adaptability. This review also discusses recent advancements in the production and application of new protein-based materials through the approach of synthetic biology combined biomimetics, providing insight for future research and development of cutting-edge bio-inspired products. Protein-based polymers that utilize nature's designs as a base, then modified by advancements at the intersection of biology and engineering, may provide mankind with more sustainable products.

Wetting transitions in adhesive surfaces of polystyrene: The petal effect

HypothesisThe petal effect is a well-known natural phenomenon in surface science and has served as inspiration for the creation of several materials with superhydrophobic qualities and high adhesion. As surface roughness has a crucial role in these properties, being able to modulate it could help us design materials at will. Capillary penetration frustrates diffusion and promotes large contact angles as well as high adhesion. ExperimentsPolystyrene surfaces were created using the spin-coating technique. By varying the polymer concentration, the surface roughness was modified. To determine the roughness parameters, atomic force microscopy was used. We recorded advancing and receding contact angles using water and glycerol as test liquids to study contact angle hysteresis, the work of adhesion and the apparent surface energy, which was determined with the Chibowski and Perea–Carpio method. For the purpose of elucidating the wetting states, captive bubble experiments were conducted. FindingsUsing an easy method, we create polystyrene surfaces with both superhydrophobicity and strong adhesion, where the roughness area factor regulates wetting transitions from Cassie–Baxter to Wenzel. The receding contact angle suggests capillary penetration, which we demonstrate by captive bubble experiments. In addition, a link was found between the surface roughness and apparent surface energy.

Water-born polyurethane dispersions, containing polysaccharide in their structure

A method of obtaining waterborn polyurethane dispersions containing the natural polysaccharide starch, stable over time and when diluted with water, has been developed by introducing an aqueous solution of starch into the reaction system with a combination of the chain elongation stage and the dispersion process, which is manifested in the high aggregative stability of the dispersions and the ability to form monolithic films, in contrast to mechanical mixtures. Materials acquire the ability to degrade in environmental conditions while maintaining the properties inherent in traditional ionomer polyurethanes. The use of the created method opens up opportunities for the creation of environmental-friendly materials with a given set of properties, promising as physiologically active materials for agriculture, in particular antiperspirants, phytoprotective and growth stimulating materials.

(040) EVALUATING CHATGPT AS A SOURCE OF PATIENT EDUCATION MATERIALS ON DYSPAREUNIA

Abstract Introduction Dyspareunia, or female sexual pain, has an estimated prevalence of up to 18% worldwide. It is a complex condition with various physical and psychological etiologies, making it a challenge for patients to understand. Physicians spend significant time on patient education and providing educational materials to patients. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) language model that generates human-like conversational text. Objective The aim of our study is to evaluate the understandability, quality, and readability of written patient educational material on topics related to dyspareunia generated by ChatGPT in English. Methods Five existing and accessible patient education handouts related to the topic of dyspareunia were identified and used as reference material. We prompted ChatGPT to create patient education leaflets on dyspareunia, female sexual dysfunction, vaginismus, and vulvodynia. The DISCERN instrument and Patient Education Materials Assessment (PEMAT) were used to assess each leaflet’s quality, understandability, and actionability. Readability of the patient education materials was assessed with the Flesch-Kincaid Grade (FKG) level. Results ChatGPT created four different patient education materials. The document created on “dyspareunia” scored 90% on understandability 75% on actionability, 42 on DISCERN, and 14.4 FKG level compared to the UpToDate (88%, 50%, 50, and 7.6) and the International Urogynecologic Association (IUGA) (100%, 0%, 80, and 13.6) on the same subject. The ChatGPT handout on “female sexual dysfunction” scored 70% on understandability, 50% on actionability, 37 on DISCERN, and 12.9 FKG Level compared to the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) (90%, 50%, 52, and 13) handout on the same subject. The ChatGPT handout on “vaginismus” scored 81% on understandability, 25% on actionability, 41 on DISCERN, and 11.3 FKG Level compared to the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD) (90%, 0%, 44, 11.4) handout on the same subject. The ChatGPT handout on “vulvodynia” scored 81% on understandability, 25% on actionability, 36 on DISCERN, and 11.5 FKG Level compared to the ISSVD (90%, 25%, 46, 10.5) handout on the same subject. Conclusions The average PEMAT understandability scores suggest that the reference handouts (91.6%) are more understandable than the AI-generated materials (80.5%). The ChatGPT-generated handouts also fell short in quality according to the average DISCERN scores (39 vs. 54.4). The average FKG level for the AI-generated information was 12.525 compared to 11.22 for the reference patient education materials. Overall, ChatGPT was not able to create patient education handouts on topics related to dyspareunia that were as understandable or readable as the existing handouts. The ChatGPT-generated handouts did, however, score higher in actionability on average (50) than the reference handouts (25), which may give patients a false sense of trust in these AI-generated materials. Our study indicates that ChatGPT is not yet an ideal tool for the creation of patient education materials, nor is it a reliable information source for patients. Disclosure No.

Overview of corrosion behaviour of ceramic materials in molten salt environments

This study reviewed previous studies between the years 2015 and 2021 on how ceramic materials degraded in the presence of molten salt environments. The processes of corrosion resistance of various ceramic compositions subjected to various molten salt compositions and temperatures were also scrutinized. The results offer important new insights into the variables affecting ceramics' corrosion behaviour and the production of corrosion products. The reported result reveals that the ceramic material with the composition (Sm0.5Sc0.5)2Zr2O7 performed better than that of Sm2Zr2O7 in terms of hot corrosion resistance in molten salt (V2O5 + Na2SO4). It has also been reported that corrosion behaviour is influenced by particle size. Notably, zirconia (n-YSZ) with nanoscale grain sizes was more susceptible to hot corrosion, which was explained by increased specific surface areas. On the other hand, sintering and additives have been found to enhance corrosion resistance. The Y-Y2Si2O7 ceramic's resistance to corrosion in (V2O5 + Na2SO4) molten salt was enhanced by the addition of alumina. The results of these investigations help us understand how corrosion works and what influences ceramic materials' susceptibility to deterioration in molten salt media. This information can direct the creation of more corrosive-resistant ceramic materials for use in high-temperature environments or molten salt-based energy systems, among other corrosive uses.

Development and Characterization of Polymeric-based Biomaterial from Agro-food Waste: A Sustainable and Eco-friendly Approach Towards Plastic Pollution

Commercial plastics are potentially hazardous and can be carcinogenic due to the incorporation of chemical additives along with other additional components utilized as brominated flame retardants and phthalate plasticizers during production that excessively produce large numbers of gases, litter, and toxic components resulting in environmental pollution. Biodegradable plastic derived from natural renewable resources is the novel, alternative, and innovative approach considered to be potentially safe as a substitute for traditional synthetic plastic as they decompose easily without causing any harm to the ecosystem and natural habitat. The utilization of undervalued compounds, such as by-products of fruits and vegetables in the production of biodegradable packaging films, is currently a matter of interest because of their accessibility, affordability, ample supply, nontoxicity, physiochemical and nutritional properties. Industrial food waste was processed under controlled conditions with appropriate plasticizers to extract polymeric materials. Biodegradability, solubility, and air test analysis were performed to examine the physical properties of polymers prior to the characterization of the biofilm by Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for the determination of polymeric characteristics. The loss of mass examined in each bioplastic film was in the range of 0.01g to 0.20g. The dimension of each bioplastic was recorded in the range of 4.6 mm to 28.7 mm. The existence of -OH, C=C, C=O stretching, and other crucial functional groups that aid in the creation of a solid polymeric material are confirmed by FTIR analysis. This study provides an alternative approach for sustainable and commercially value-added production of polymeric-based biomaterials from agro-industrial waste as they are rich in starch, cellulose, and pectin for the development of bio-plastics. The rationale of this project is to achieve a straightforward, economical, and durable method for the production of bio-plastics through effective utilization of industrial and commercial fruit waste, ultimately aiding in revenue generation.

Optimizing shear-thickening fluid microencapsulation with high-temperature pickering emulsion for enhanced impact-resistant materials

Combining shear-thickening fluid (STF) with matrix material enables the creation of high-performance materials with enhanced impact resistance. However, effectively preventing STF leakage and avoiding potential reactions between the fluid and the matrix material remain notable challenges. Encapsulating STF through emulsion templating offers a viable solution to these issues. Traditional emulsion templating methods require adding extra solvents to STF to counteract the hindrance of shear-thickening on emulsification, accompanied with increased costs and environmental pollution, and difficulties in maintaining the integrity of core components. In this study, we developed STF microcapsules using a novel high-temperature Pickering double emulsion technique. Our investigation into the rheological properties of molecular sieve/diols suspensions demonstrates that the shear thickening effect could be controlled by particle concentration, surface charge of particles and solvent viscosity. Octadecyltrimethoxysilane-modified fumed silica and fumed silica were utilized as stabilizers for STF-in-paraffin primary emulsions and STF-in-paraffin-in-propylene glycol secondary emulsions, respectively. As temperature increased, droplet sizes of the primary emulsion were significantly reduced. The Pickering emulsion approach effectively preserves the STF composition by forming robust barriers at the emulsion interface with silica particles. Typical STF microcapsules were incorporated into a silicone rubber matrix, the composites exhibited a significant decrease in resilience and an enhanced impact resistance with a 20.9% reduction in maximum impact force. This study is the first to suggest the application of the high-temperature Pickering double emulsion technique for the microencapsulation of STF, offering a practical and scalable method without diluting the STF, thereby ensuring the controllability of the core components.

Tissue engineering approach to the creation of grafting material for rhinoplasty: clinical сase reports

The use of autologous cartilage and bone grafts remains the gold standard in augmentation rhinoplasty performed to reconstruct of the nasal dorsum. Meanwhile, limited number of available sources, donor site morbidity, and unpredictable graft resorption represent significant disadvantages of autografting. The aim of this study is to test combination of autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and commercially available bone substitutes (BSs) as new tissue-engineered grafting material (GM) for rhinoplasty. A series of consecutive cases includes four adult patients who underwent rhinoplasty to correct saddle nose deformity (SND) using the new graft technique. SVF was isolated from liposuction aspirate using standard methodology of enzymatic digestion. Two types of BSs were combined with SVF: Bio-Oss granules to create a moldable graft (M-graft), and block-shaped BoneMedik-S to create rigid grafts (R-grafts). The moderate SND was treated using an M-graft. In case of major or complex SND, the nasal dorsum was reconstructed with dorso-columellar L-shaped framework made of R-grafts. The results were evaluated over a period of 6 months to 3 years postoperatively using photogrammetry and FACE-Q appearance appraisal scales. Computerised tomography (CT) scanning of the reconstructed nose and histological analysis of grafted material were also carried out. No complications were observed. The photograms show the restoration of the correct contour of the nose. FACE-Q appraisal scale scores increased significantly, including satisfaction with nose appearance, psychological well-being, and social function. In CT evaluation, there was no substantial resorption or warping of the grafts. Histological findings show osteogenic remodeling of the grafted material. Thus, combining autologous SVF with BSs is a promising strategy for developing rhinoplasty GM.
