Collagen peptide in Polymer composites
[/tm_textblock][tm_textblock textarea_html_bkg_color=”#ffffff”]Factors like increased environmental awareness and rising oil prices have contributed to the advancement of research and development of bio-particulate polymer composites.
The fish bio-waste in form of scales was investigated as a useful reinforcement for fabrication of hybrid composite which exhibited good hardness and wear resistant properties as required in many tribological applications like conveyer belts etc.[/tm_textblock][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row section_block_height=”auto” columns_on_tablet=”keep” padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”20″ use_background=”yes” background_color=”#3b7bbf”][vc_column h_text_align=”left” h_text_align_mobile=”left-on-mobile” v_align=”v-align-middle” width=”1/2″][tm_textblock textarea_html_bkg_color=”#ffffff”]
Collagen peptide Microneedles
[/tm_textblock][tm_textblock textarea_html_bkg_color=”#ffffff”]
Microneedles are one of the most effective means of enhancing transdermal penetration of compounds into the body in a minimally invasive manner.
To make microneedles readily available and affordable, there is a need to explore a wide range of low-cost materials. It is also an area of immense interest in many industries to convert wastes to useful end products.
Fish scales are chosen in particular, as they are an underutilized natural resource that exists abundantly. Biopolymer extracted from fish scales dissolve in water has good film-forming ability, great mechanical strength and therefore a good candidate for micro moulding. The microneedles produced from fish scales are biodegradable.

Hydroxyapatite
[/tm_textblock][tm_textblock textarea_html_bkg_color=”#ffffff”]Fish scales are a natural source of collagen and hydroxyapatite, yet are typically considered waste.
Bio-materials derived from fish scales(FSHA) are biologically better than the chemically synthesized hydroxyapatite(HA) and have the potential for use as a bones scaffold or as regenerative material.
Fish scale derived hydroxyapatite scaffolds are promising for heavy metal ion removal and wastewater treatments.[/tm_textblock][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row section_block_height=”auto” force_fullwidth=”true” columns_on_tablet=”keep” clear_all_padding=”yes”][vc_column h_text_align=”left” h_text_align_mobile=”left-on-mobile” v_align=”v-align-middle” width=”1/1″][tm_image image_id=”9586″ link_image=”none” textarea_html_bkg_color=”#ffffff” caption_type=””][/tm_image][/vc_column][/vc_row]
