Polylactic Acid–Phosphate Glass Composite Foams as Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Phosphate glass (PG) of the composition 0.46(CaO)–0.04(Na2O)–0.5(P2O5) was used as filler in poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) foams developed as degradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The effect of PG on PLA was assessed both in bulk and porous composit ...

Modelling the CABRI high-burnup RIA test CIP0-1 using an extended version of the FALCON code

Rakesh Chawla

An improved version of the FALCON fuel performance code is used to model the thermal-mechanical behaviour of the test rod in the CABRI high-burnup RIA test CIP0-1. First, the original FALCON code (version MOD01) is modified by introducing new routines yiel ...

New Method for Pavement Rutting Prediction

André-Gilles Dumont, Mehdi Ould Henia

In recent years, pavement rutting rate has increased significantly due to constant traffic intensity increment. These solicitations affect the bituminous layers that can quickly attain their permanent deformation limit resistance. This phenomenon can lead ...
