We introduce the design and study of a hybrid electrospun membrane with a dedicated nanoscale structural hierarchy for controlled functions in the biomedical domain. The hybrid system comprises submicrometer-sized internally self-assembled lipid nanoparticles (ISAsomes or mesosomes) embedded into the electrospun membrane with a nanofibrous polymer network. The internal structure of ISAsomes, ...

Silica aerogels have only half the thermal conductivity of conventional insulation, but their application potential is limited by the poor mechanical properties. The fragility arises from the thin necks between the silica nanoparticle building blocks. Here, we produce strong silica aerogels through co-gelation of the polyethoxydisiloxane precursor with a variety of silane terminated...

Wine lees are one of the main residues formed in vast quantities during the fermentation of wine. While toxic when applied to plants and wetlands, it is a biodegradable material, and several alternatives have been proposed for its valorization as: dietary supplement in animal feed, source for various yeast extracts and bioconversion feedstock. The implementation of stricter environment...
