DOI: 10.1007/s00396-019-04503-8
Abstract: By crystallization of poly–ε–caprolactone (PCL) at temperatures (55 ∘C ≥ Tc ≥ 50 ∘C) close to the melting point (Tm = 61 ∘C), banded spherulites form. These structures show a periodicity of P = 32 µm as determined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06024-w
Abstract: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has proven to be an effective treatment for obesity with excellent long-term results, even though weight regain can occur. A method to improve the results of RYGB and minimize chance of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2019.03.020
Abstract: The mechanical properties of tendon are due to the properties and arrangement of its collagen fibril content. Collagen fibrils are highly-organized supermolecular structures with a periodic banding pattern (D-band) indicative of the geometry of molecular… read more here.
