Graphene-Based Nanocomposites, Hastalex and BioHastalex
NanoRegMed has introduced two groundbreaking graphene-based nanocomposites called Hastalex and BioHastalex for use in biomedical research, and designed to revolutionize applications for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and biosensing applications.
Both materials have undergone rigorous testing and characterization by reputable institutions like the UK National Physical Laboratory and the University College London. In vitro and in vivo studies they have provided results reinforcing their potential in advancing the field of biomedical research.


Product Benefits
Hastalex and BioHastalex offer biological researchers a host of exciting properties to take advantage of including:


Extraordinary Strength and Elasticity
Hastalex integrates functionalized graphene oxide (FGO) with a unique version of poly(carbonate-urea) urethane (PCU). This combination results in a material that exhibits remarkable strength and elasticity, enabling it to withstand mechanical stress and strain in biomedical applications.


Excellent Conductivity
Thanks to the inclusion of FGO nanoparticles, Hastalex demonstrates superior electrical conductivity. This property is critical for applications such as biosensors and implantable devices, where accurate and reliable electrical signals are essential.


Biodegradability and Non-Toxicity
BioHastalex is designed to degrade over time within the body. It incorporates FGO and PCU with a distinct chemical structure that ensures biocompatibility while also being non-toxic and antibacterial.


Hydrophobicity for Improved Biocompatibility
As it is inherently hydrophobic, Hastalex prevents the accumulation of water on its surface. The material's hydrophobic nature enhances biocompatibility, reducing the risk of adverse reactions or complications when used in contact with biological systems.
