“…6,7 The use of these composites is not limited to just implant applications, and extends to external fixations and prosthetic applications such as prosthetic sockets, liners, foot, fabric resistance temperature detectors (for supracutaneous applications, smart clothing, medical electronics, etc.). [8][9][10][11] The non-functionalized carbon nanotubes may also be used to augment poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) matrix for cementing prosthetics, medical implants, dental restorations or fixations. 12 The composites available presently do not have sufficiently high thermal properties and multiple researches have been reported that have aimed at enhancing the thermal properties with the addition of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs).…”

The present review articulates some the properties of high-performance materials such as carbon/glass reinforced composite (resin-based or otherwise) that make these materials a highly potent substitute for many usual implants and assistive devices. The mechanical aspects such as high strength-to-weight ratio and favorable thermal as well as thermos-mechanical properties make such materials extremely desirable for biomedical applications. Based on these properties and available literature the various uses of these high-performance bio-materials are advocated in this review.

“…The burgeoning development of biosensors for the realtime, sensitive, and selective monitoring of biochemical indices of the natural environment and human internal environment is playing a crucial part in the human healthcare industry [105][106][107][108][109] . Currently, popular biosensing platforms based on paper operate in a disposable manner 108,109 . Despite the ubiquity, inexpensiveness, and mature fabrication of the substrate material, the practical difficulties in device collection and increased cost for reprocessing disposed devices can never be overlooked.…”

The increasingly intimate bond connecting soft actuation devices and emerging biomedical applications is triggering the development of novel materials with superb biocompatibility and a sensitive actuation capability that can reliably function as bio-use-oriented actuators in a human-friendly manner. Stimulus-responsive hydrogels are biocompatible with human tissues/organs, have sufficient water content, are similar to extracellular matrices in structure and chemophysical properties, and are responsive to external environmental stimuli, and these materials have recently attracted massive research interest for fabricating bioactuators. The great potential of employing such hydrogels that respond to various stimuli (e.g., pH, temperature, light, electricity, and magnetic fields) for actuation purposes has been revealed by their performances in real-time biosensing systems, targeted drug delivery, artificial muscle reconstruction, and cell microenvironment engineering. In this review, the material selection of hydrogels with multiple stimulusresponsive mechanisms for actuator fabrication is first introduced, followed by a detailed introduction to and discussion of the most recent progress in emerging biomedical applications of hydrogel-based bioactuators. Final conclusions, existing challenges, and upcoming development prospects are noted in light of the status quo of bioactuators based on stimulus-responsive hydrogels.

“…16 Smooth CNF films have also potential as substrate for printing conductive structures and transistors. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Especially, in the context of today's massive boom of wireless sensor systems for pervasive monitoring of parameters in virtually all areas of human society, the importance of an environmentally sustainable model of production of electronic components and whole systems is becoming increasingly important. Importantly, when compared to plastic foil, conventionally used for sensor fabrication, CNF films are renewable and biodegradable in nature.…”

Cellulose nanofibril (CNF) films were prepared from side streams generated by the sugarcane industry, that is, bagasse. Two fractionation processes were utilized for comparison purposes: (1) soda and (2) hot water and soda pretreatments. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl-mediated oxidation was applied to facilitate the nanofibrillation of the bagasse fibers. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was chosen as plasticizer to improve the ductility of CNF films. The neat CNF and biocomposite films (CNF and 40% PEG) were used for fabrication of self-standing humidity sensors. CNF-based humidity sensors exhibited high change of impedance, within four orders of magnitude, in response to relative humidity (RH) from 20 to 90%. The use of plasticizer had an impact on sensor kinetics. While the biocomposite film sensors showed slightly longer response time, the recovery time of these plasticized sensors was two times shorter in comparison to sensors without PEG. This study demonstrated that agroindustrial side streams can form the basis for high-end applications such as humidity sensors, with potential for, for example, packaging and wound dressing applications.
