  1. 1. Development of polymer based composite filaments for 3D printing

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Elin Åkerlund; [2019]
    Keywords : 3D-printing; fused deposition modeling FDM ; composite filaments; biocompatible materials; biodegradability; medical applications; scaffold materials; poly lactic acid PLA ; polycaprolactone PCL ; hydroxyapatite HA ; mechanical properties; thermal stability; chemical composition; morphological characterization; accelerated degradation study; polymer degradation behavior;

    Abstract : The relatively new and still growing field of 3D-printing has opened up the possibilities to manufacture patient-specific medical devices with high geometrical accuracy in a precise and quick manner. Additionally, biocompatible materials are a demand for all medical applications while biodegradability is of importance when developing scaffolds for tissue growth for instance. READ MORE

  3. 2. Nano-Graphene Oxide Surface-Functionalized Poly(e-caprolactone) Scaffolds with Drug Delivery Capability

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Yao Jenevieve Linell; [2018]
    Keywords : Poly e-caprolactone PCL ; aminolysis; graphene oxide; tissue scaffolds; ciprofloxacin;

    Abstract : Grafenoxid (GO) ar en lovande kandidat som nano-tillsats i medicinska byggnadsstallningar for benregenerering. GO kan forbattra den biologiska kompatibiliteten och osteogena prestandan hos polymerbaserade byggstallningar, och ocksa vasentligt bidra till forbattringen av materialets mekaniska egenskaper.

  4. 3. Quantitative Analysis of Bone Tissue Engineering Scaffolds and Skull Bones by means of Synchrotron and Conventional X-ray Computed Microtomography

    University essay from Teknisk biologi

    Author : Emanuel Larsson; [2010]
    Keywords : X-ray Computed Microtomography; µ-CT; Pore3D; Hydroxyapatite; Bone Scaffolds; Bioglass ceramic scaffolds; Bioactivity; Bioresorption;

    Abstract : The study of internal structure of materials has always been an essential issue in a variety of application fields, from the medical radiology to the materials science. X-ray computed microtomography (with both conventional and synchrotron radiation sources) has a great potential for these purposes because its three-dimensional and non destructive nature as well as the fact that it does not require any sample preparation and it allows to study samples under stress or after consecutive treatments.

  5. 4. Impact of Oxygen-Release Material on Human Urine-Derived Stem Cells’ Differentiation and Proliferation in Hypoxic Condition In Vitro

    University essay from Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Marie-Louise Krieg; [2010]
    Keywords : urine-derived stem cells; hypoxia; VEGF; HIF-1alpha; oxygen release material;

    Abstract : One of today’s most widely spread health problems is urinary incontinence, affecting 60-80% of the US population from age 15 and up. Treatment based on the possibility to implant a scaffold seeded with the patients’ own urine-derived stem cells, hUSC, to regenerate the damaged muscle tissue, would prove effective. READ MORE
