Latest work with IntechOpen by Hassan Ibrahim

Intelligent textiles are the next generation of textiles, materials, and products designed to react quickly to changes in their surroundings. They are designed to keep us cool in hot conditions, warm in cold environments, and comfortable in our regular day-to-day activities. They are utilized for convenience, fashion, safety, and protection. They also have applications in health care and hygiene in the form of intelligent medical textiles. This book provides a comprehensive overview of these exciting new materials. Chapters discuss such topics as implantable and non-implantable applications in medical textiles, restrictions on the recycling of intelligent textiles, electronics and conductive materials in textiles, and more.

Chitosan as a Biomaterial — Structure, Properties, and Electrospun Nanofibers

By H. M. Ibrahim and E.M.R. El- Zairy

Chitosan is a polysaccharide derived from chitin; chitin is the second most abundant polysaccharide in the world, after cellulose. Chitosan is biocompatible, biodegradable and non-toxic, so that it can be usedin medicalapplications such as antimicrobial and wound healing biomaterials. It also used as chelating agent due to its ability to bind with cholesterol, fats, proteins and metal ions.

Bacterial Cellulose: Biosynthesis and Applications

By Ahmed Amr and Hassan Ibrahim

Bacterial cellulose (BC) or microbial cellulose (MC) was considered a bioactive material characterized by high absorbed water, high crystalline, high tensile strength, and biodegradability. However, bacterial cellulose has wide applications, such as biomedical, textile, paper industries, food, drug release, and cosmetic applications. So the microbial cellulose production from Acetobacter xylinum from different wastes such as carbon and nitrogen sources, for example, pineapple peel juice, sugar cane juice, dry olive mill residue, waste beer yeast, and wheat thin stillage, are characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TEM. The product yield of bacterial cellulose is affected by different factors such as the concentration of sugar in carbon source, temperature and time of incubator of the strain, and pH of media. So, it must be studied with the enzymatic pathway procedure.
