There is increasing evidence that mechanical stimulation affects the fate of tissue engineering scaffolds. In clinical situations, it is critical to accelerate bone formation inside the scaffold to reduce the recovery time and increase the chance of succes ...
Flat-slab column connections are susceptible to brittle failure, which lead to the necessity of improving ductility and ultimate strength. In case of edge connections, the behaviour at ultimate state is highly influenced by nonsymmetrical distribution of s ...
Supercritical carbon dioxide processing of poly--lactide (PLLA)/hydroxyapatite (nHA) nanocomposites was investigated as a means to prepare foams suitable as scaffolds in bone tissue engineering applications. For given foaming parameters, addition of nHA to ...
The present work forms part of an ongoing effort at the Laboratory of Polymer and Composite Technology (LTC) to develop novel solvent-free processing methods for next generation resorbable porous scaffolds for bone replacement, based on supercritical carbo ...
Mechanical properties of composite materials and alloys are strongly influenced by the intrinsic mechanical properties of the reinforcing phases they contain; however, due to the irregular shape and small size of particulate reinforcements, measuring their ...
Osteoporosis is a major health problem in our aging society. This metabolic disease, which is characterized by a deterioration of the bone microarchitecture and a significant loss of bone mass, is affecting a rising number of mostly elderly patients. The m ...
Five different grain sizes are produced in 0.17 wt% carbon steel using varying rates of cooling from austenitization temperatures. Controlled furnace cooling from 1100 °C and 950 °C produces coarse ferrite grains of 40 µm and 32 µm diameter, respectively, ...
Osteoporosis is one of the most common skeletal diseases that lead to an accelerated bone loss due to an imbalance in bone turnover. This low bone mass and degraded bone microarchitecture cause a reduction in mechanical properties and an associated increas ...
Ternary Au-Cu-Pt alloys, of unequal gold and copper atomic contents and containing 2.5 wt.% Pt, are ordered isothermally at 250 or 400 degrees C after annealing at 650 degrees C and quenching in water. The alloys are characterized by transmission electron ...
In the context of osteoporosis, evaluation of bone fracture risk and improved design of epiphyseal bone implants rely on accurate knowledge of the mechanical properties of trabecular bone. A multi-axial loading chamber was designed, built and applied to ex ...
