A method of treating a biobased feedstock derived from agricultural resources and specifically from the non-distillate products of fermentation-derived renewable fuel and distilled spirit processes. The separation of thermally labile components from biobased feedstocks result in materials that are thermally stable and better suited for subsequent melt processing in a polymer matrix.

Provided herein are compositions and their methods of use to adhere (e.g., in wet and dry environments) a variety of materials together.

Hydrogels comprising a macromolecular matrix and water may be used to augment soft tissue of a human being, promote or support cell or tissue viability or proliferation, create space in tissue, and for other purposes. A macromolecular matrix may comprise a hyaluronic acid component crosslinked to a silk fibroin component.

The present invention provides an implant body formed from metal or ceramics as a raw material, the implant body including a modified surface, provided with a plurality of projections and a plurality of crevasse-like nanoscale grooves, by which focal adhesion formation, penetration of collagen fibers, arrangement of the collagen fibers in a single direction to thereby adhere to connective tissue, and soft tissue sealablity are possible. According to such a surface modification, focal adhesion formation and the arrangement of the cell cytoskeleton can be enhanced, and penetration of collagen fibers into the surface internal portion is possible.
