Biocompatible multi-layered structure comprising foam layers and a functional interface

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Matthieu Cuénoud

A biocompatible multi-layered structure comprising a first foam layer showing a first degree of porosity and a second foam layer showing a second degree of porosity, both foam layers being attached to one another through an interface, wherein said interfac ...

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 ...

The potential of wood fibers as reinforcement in cellular biopolymers

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Matthieu Cuénoud, Razvan Cristian Neagu

Wood fiber-reinforced polylactic acid composite foams have been successfully produced using supercritical carbon dioxide. The addition of fibers had a strong effect on microstructure of the foams. An increase in wood fiber content implied smaller average c ...

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 ...

Processing and Mechanical Properties of Novel Wood Fibre Composites Foams

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Matthieu Cuénoud, Razvan Cristian Neagu

Wood fibre reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composite foams have been successfully produced using supercritical carbon dioxide. A significant increase of specific properties, both stiffness and strength, was achieved by adding 5-10 wt% wood fibres. The exp ...
