  1. 1. Evaluation of different block-copolymer coatings of iron oxide nanoparticles by flash nanoprecipitation

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Felix Bogdan; [2023]
    Keywords : Nanopartiklar; organisk katalysator; ROP; block-sampolymerer PL G A; oljesyra IONPs; Nanoparticles; organic catalyst; ROP; block-copolymers PL G A; oleic acid IONPs;

    Abstract : Nanopartiklar (NP) erbjuder unika möjligheter för medicinska tillämpningar, inklusive kontrollerad frisättning av cancerläkemedel, användning som bildkontrast vid avbildningsprocedurer eller hypertermisk behandling av cancerceller. Flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) producerar NPs för att kombinera dessa tillämpningar i en snabb, billig och skalbar beläggningsprocess. READ MORE

    Abstract : Neural implants have been developed to aid with different neurological disorders. Although there are neural implants that are used to treat patients today, there is still room for improvement in the field. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Biodegradable Composites : Processing of thermoplastic polymers for medical applications.

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Institutionen Ingenjörshögskolan

    Author : Behzad Damadzadeh; Hamideh Jabari; [2009]
    Keywords : poly lactic acid; poly glycolic acid; microcompounder; in-vitro degradation; biomedical application; hydroxy appetite hap ; tricalcium phosphate tcp ; bioactive glass bag ; bioceramic; medical composite; differential scanning calorimetry dsc ; inherent viscosity; termogravimetric analysis tga ; scanning electron microscopy sem ; biodegradable composite;

    Abstract : Despite the recent development in PLA and PLGA based medical devices, there are still needs to further improve the mechanical performance of bioresorbable medical implants and their bioactivity. This is normally done by optimizing the filler compositions in selected groups ofbiodegradable polymer matrices. READ MORE
