La investigación realizada en esta tesis se ha centrado en la caracterización de la fractura de materiales compuestos por una matriz de polipropileno homopolímero isotáctico y diferentes fracciones de partículas laminares ...
Este trabajo se ubica en una perspectiva marcada por dos fuentes de inspiración y exigencia, que se complementan mutuamente: La primera está relacionada con el campo tecnológico y la segunda viene del ambiente científico. ...
La aleación Ti6Al4V es el biomaterial más utilizado para el reemplazo de tejidos duros, debido a su alta biocompatibilidad y a sus propiedades mecánicas. Sin embargo, al ser bioinerte no se une directamente con el hueso. ...
According to a study of the European Commission, approximately one million hips are replaced by prostheses worldwide every year. The interaction of the human body with foreign materials that are subjected to alternating ...
Esta tesis queda enmarcada en el ámbito de los biomateriales metálicos, concretamente en superficies de titanio desarrolladas para la regeneración ósea. Las aplicaciones más habituales del titanio como biomaterial son los ...
Despite being biocompatible and with adequate mechanical properties for application as a bone replacement material, titanium lacks osteoinductive capacity, i.e. it supports new bone growth on its surface but does not foster ...
Cobalt-chromium (CoCr) alloys are widely used as biomaterials for coronary stents due to their excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. However, these materials are bioinert, retarding ...
This thesis assesses the influence of substrate surface integrity on different mechanical (flexural strength and contact damage resistance under spherical indentation) and tribological (scratch resistance as well as cracking ...
The presented work is a part of the ongoing effort on the development of high performance bio-based composites with enhanced durability, under static and dynamic mechanical loading including the exposure to elevated humidity. ...
La utilización de circona tetragonal policristalina estabilizada con 3 % mol de itria (3Y-TZP) para fabricar coronas e implantes ha sufrido una fuerte expansión recientemente debido a las buenas propiedades mecánicas, ...
In this thesis, the microstructure and mechanical properties of bulk samples manufactured with nanocrystalline iron powder are analyzed. This iron powder was obtained by a severe plastic deformation process carried in a ...
En esta tesis se han desarrollado microestructuras mediante tratamientos térmicos de 2,5Y-TZP, las cuales con la adición de tensiones residuales de mecanizado, experimentan un aumento de la resistencia y la tenacidad de ...
The aim of the present thesis is to fabricate, to applicate, and to integrate nanomaterial-based chemical sensors with electrochemical transduction for the detection of water pollutants. This work is divided in 7 Chapters, ...
El conocimiento de las interacciones entre célula/proteína/biomaterial es fundamental para la ingeniería de superficies debido a las numerosas aplicaciones biomédicas y biotecnológicas que se están desarrollando así como ...
Tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia stabilized with 3% mol of yttria (3Y-TZP) is a popular bioceramic, increasingly used for dental applications thanks to its good mechanical properties, biocompatibility and aesthetic ...
Hard coating 's thermal stability is essential due to the high temperature environment of high-speed cutting applications, while the induced phase and microstructure evolution affects the mechanical properties. In this ...
On account of environmental and safety related requirements, the majority of the most popular automotive manufacturers convey to introduce Ultra High Strength Steels (UHSS) and Press Hardened Steels (PHS) in the vehicle ...
Tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia, commonly stabilised with 3 mol% yttria (3Y-TZP), became one of the most interesting ceramics for biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and high mechanical properties. Among ...
The growing demand for innovation and the ever-shorter product lifespan result in a great amount and diversity of waste disposal at dumps and landfills. One of the fastest growing waste types nowadays is e-waste. Consequently, ...
