Strategies for improving the repair of focal cartilage defects

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Abdel Sayed

Articular cartilage, together with skin, was predicted to be one of the first tissues to be successfully engineered. However cartilage repair remains nowadays still elusive, as we are still not able to overcome the hurdles of creating biomaterials correspo ...

Processing of Sustainable Cellular Biocomposites

Carole Boissard

Petroleum-based polymers and composites are commonly used in a wide variety of application fields. However ecological concerns, increasing oil prices and dwindling natural resources explain why nowadays industrial and public interest is more than ever focu ...

Biomechanics of Vascular Wall

Rana Saitta-Rezakhaniha

This thesis contributes to the field of biomechanics of vascular wall. The focus is particularly on the microstructure of vascular elastin and collagen constituents and their contribution to the macroscopic mechanical behavior of the wall. The analysis is ...

Application des réseaux de Bragg à la détermination des déformations distribuées dans les matériaux composites

The behaviour of brittle matrix fibre reinforced-composites is dependent of the properties of its constituents (fibre, matrix and fibre-matrix interface) and is affected by the mechanical and environmental loads. The fracture of a unidirectional composite ...

EPFL2009

The constant improvement of polymer composite materials has allowed their integration in many industrial fields where their mechanical and chemical properties are apparently attractive. Mixed metal-composite insulators are now increasingly used for high vo ...

EPFL2008

The aim of this study has been to develop processing techniques for novel bioresorbable thermoplastic cellular composites, reinforced with continuous inorganic fibres, for use as biodegradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. As the implanted composi ...

Fiber reinforced polypropylene nanocomposites

Chrystèle Houphouet-Boigny Favre

The aim of this thesis is to assess the feasibility of integrating nanoparticles into glass fiber (GF) reinforced isotactic polypropylene (iPP) composites via existing thermoplastic processing routes, and to investigate whether this results in significant ...

The response of embedded FBG sensors to non-uniform strains in CFRP composites during processing and delamination

Larissa Sorensen

From airplanes to sailboats to bridges, composite materials have become a significant part of our everyday structures. With increasing demand, these materials are pushed to their limits to improve structural efficiency. As a consequence, research and devel ...

Architecture and properties of anisotropic polymer composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Bone is a complex porous composite structure with specific characteristics such as viscoelasticity and anisotropy, both in morphology and mechanical properties. Bone defects are regularly filled with artificial tissue grafts, which should ideally have prop ...
