| Résumé : |
Collagen dispersions, produced from ground bovine corium, have a remarkable water retention capability. This property has lead to research on applications in environmental remediation, biotechnology, biomedical engineering, and materials of construction. Widener researchers and collaborators are studying specific applications in all of these areas. Within the past year, research has focused on three areas: dispersion rheology, weighted and magnetic matrices (especially microspheres), and building materials. Initial results are promising in each of these focus areas, although the production technology remains long and labor intensive. Collagen dispersions take a minimum of two weeks to prepare and crosslinked matrices can take as long as two months. Future research is ongoing to further develop the potential applications and to scale-up and shorten the production process. |
