Plasticization of polylactide foams for tissue engineering

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, John Christopher Plummer, Matthieu Cuénoud

Supercritical CO2 foaming of amorphous and semicrystalline polylactides plasticized by blending with 20 wt% polyethylene glycol has been investigated as a means of producing low-stiffness bioresorbable scaffolds for tissue engineering. For a given set of f ...

Hybrid Polymer Foams for Osteochondral Tissue Engineering

Matthieu Cuénoud

Articular cartilage is a soft tissue that covers the ends of articulating bones, and is essential for maintaining joint motion, i.e. translation and rotation between the bones. Articular cartilage nevertheless has a limited capacity for self-repair, and ca ...

Time-temperature dependence of thermomechanical recovery of cold-curing structural adhesives

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Omar Moussa

The thermomechanical recovery behavior of a commercial cold-curing structural epoxy adhesive was investigated. Exposing the adhesive to temperatures above the glass transition temperature T-g significantly increased the latter although the curing degree in ...

Synthesis and post-polymerization modification of poly(pentafluorophenyl methacrylate) brushes

Harm-Anton Klok

Post-polymerization modification is a powerful strategy to endow polymers with functional groups that cannot be incorporated via direct polymerization. This manuscript explores the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) of p ...

Improving the Stability in Aqueous Media of Polymer Brushes Grafted from Silicon Oxide Substrates by Surface-Initiated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization

Harm-Anton Klok, Dusko Paripovic

Hydrophilic polymer brushes grown via surface-initiated ATRP from silicon oxide surfaces are susceptible to detachment via hydrolytic cleavage of the anchoring siloxane bond. This paper investigates the influence of the structure of the ATRP initiator on t ...
