| Abstract | Properties of free-standing nanomembranes prepared by blending poly(3-thiophene methyl acetate) and poly(tetramethylene succinate), a soluble polythiophene derivative and a biodegradable polyester, respectively, have been examined. The outstanding flexibility and robustness of the nanomembranes floating in ethanol have been demonstrated through aspiration in pipette/release/shape recovery cycles, which were repeated without cracking the film. The blend retains the electrochemical properties (i.e. oxidation and reduction processes) of the individual conducting polymer in both physiological and organic environments. Hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation assays show that the degradation of the polyester domains produces the detachment of the conducting polymer domains. The cellular viability, which has been studied using four different cellular lines, is significantly higher for the blend than for the polyester, indicating that the former material is a potential bioactive platform for tissue engineering. Finally, the electrobioactivity of the individual materials and the blend coated with cellular monolayers shows some dependence on the cellular line. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
