Novel poly(vinyl chloride) nanocomposite films containing α-Al2O3 nanoparticles capped with vitamin B1: preparation, morphological, and thermal characterization

The Side‐Chain Liquid Crystalline Epoxy Polymer Grafted Nanoparticles for the Thermal and Mechanical Enhancement of Epoxy Nanocomposites

“…have been added into epoxy resin to improve the mechanical property, thermal conductivity, dielectric property and wear resistance by researchers. However, the nanoparticles have small size, large surface area, and strong surface activity, which makes them effortless to unite with each other and form agglomeration . This generates the lower performance of the nanocomposite materials than the theoretical value.…”

Tissue Engineering Therapies Based on Folic Acid and Other Vitamin B Derivatives. Functional Mechanisms and Current Applications in Regenerative Medicine

“…Specifically, B-vitamins are a group of soluble vitamins that are cofactors of some of the enzymes involved in the metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and due to their promising properties, many researchers have studied the advantages of their use in the clinical field, such as boosting the immune system [4], treating and preventing Alzheimer’s disease [5], the effects on brain function [3] or in bone health [6]. Others are currently developing different novel biomaterials based on B-vitamins such as polyphosphazenes [7], star polymers [8], nanoparticles [9] and nanocomposites [10] among others, in order to improve their biocompatibility or to add the effects of B-vitamins to the regeneration process.…”
