Reinforced polylactic acid for use in high strength biodegradable medical implants.
(2016)
Traditional medical implants, such as orthopedic screws, pins, and
coronary stents, are almost exclusively metallic due to high mechanical
strength requirements. However, issues related to the use of permanent
metallic ...
Photopolymerization for filling porous ceramic matrix: improvement of mechanical properties and drug delivering behaviour.
(Wiley, 2019-04)
This work presents the photopolymerisation of composite scaffolds where a prefabricated ceramic scaffold was impregnated with poly(ethylene) glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) macromonomer solution. The PEGDMA solution penetrates ...
Halloysite nanotube reinforced polylactic acid composite.
(Wiley, 2017-10)
Polylactic acid (PLA) has long history in medical applications, and reinforced PLA has the potential to be used in the medical applications that require high mechanical strength such as coronary stents and bone fixation ...
The preparation of nanocomposite scaffolds for use in bone tissue engineering.
(AJBAS, 2013)
Bone is the second most frequently transplanted tissue in humans. There are 2.2 million
bone graft procedures annually, which have several disadvantages such as: donor site morbidity, risk of
disease transmission and a ...
