1. 1. Inkjet printed piezoelectric energy harvesters based on self-assembly of diphenylalanine peptide

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Yujie Fu; [2023]
   Keywords : Inkjet printing; piezoelectric energy harvester; diphenylalanine peptide; self-assembly; Bläckstråleutskrift; piezoelektrisk energiskördare; difenylalaninpeptid; självmontering;

   Abstract : Diphenylalanine peptide (Phe-Phe or FF) is a very promising bio-material in the future wearable electronics application due to its self-assembly into nanotubes and nanoribbons with high shear piezoelectric coefficient which is comparable to traditional inorganic piezoelectric materials. In order to efficiently harvest piezoelectric response, alignment and unidirectional polarization of FF nanotubes are required. READ MORE

3. 2. Polymer-based additive manufacturing: optimization for high-performance degradable polymers

   University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

4. 3. Proteomic and biomechanical properties of human menisci related to osteoarthritis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Kristina Gehrisch; Lykke Månsson; [2021]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is expected to become even more prevalent worldwide with an increasingly older and more obese population. The degenerative joint disease, causing pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints, has a complex etiology and knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms is still limited. READ MORE

5. 4. Compound meniscus implant prototypes : Bench test performance of knitted casing to contain, fixate and mechanically stabilize cell seeded gels

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Maria Ydrefors; [2021]
   Keywords : Knitting technology; meniscus replacement; hydrogel; Artelon®; bioprinting; biomechanical properties;

   Abstract : Meniscal tears are the most common intra-articular injury of the knee joint. Due to the avascular zone with limited blood supply, treatment of the injury is a complex process. Today, research on the development of efficient treatments and meniscal replacements is of increasing interest. READ MORE

6. 5. 3D Bioprinting Meniscus for Future Tissue Replacement in Osteoarthritis Affected Knee Joints

   University essay from

   Author : Ida Pettersson; Amanda Olsson Widjaja; [2020-06-22T09:59:20Z 2020-06-22T09:59:20Z 2020 2019]
