Gustavsson, Mikael (Date of defense: 2011-07-27)
This doctoral thesis explores how ion sensors can provide spatial and temporal control of specific cellular and biomaterial activity related to bone tissue engineering applications. First it was investigated the influence ...
Ardanuy Raso, Mònica (Date of defense: 2007-02-09)
Con esta tesis se ha pretendido establecer las bases para la preparación y caracterización de compuestos nanoestructurados formados por laminillas de espesor nanométrico a partir de la exfoliación de un hidróxido doble ...
Wang, Lei (Date of defense: 2016-12-16)
In the current thesis, two TWIP steels with different chemical composition were successfully subjected to Severe Plastic Deformation with Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) at warm temperature (300°C), using a die with ...
Abt, Tobias (Date of defense: 2014-07-11)
The thesis at hand deals with the modification of cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT) with the aim to improve its final properties. CBT polymerizes in an entropically-driven ring-opening polymerization into polymerized CBT ...
Flamant, Quentin (Date of defense: 2016-07-20)
Debido a sus excelentes propiedades mecánicas y una excelente biocompatibilidad, el uso de las cerámicas de base de circona en aplicaciones dentales y ortopédicas ha crecido rápidamente durante las últimas décadas. Sin ...
Camposilvan, Erik (Date of defense: 2015-07-08)
Tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia stabilized with 3 mol% of yttria (3Y-TZP) is a biocompatible ceramic showing superior mechanical properties, which are partly the consequence of phase transformation: the tetragonal ...
Safari, Alaleh (Date of defense: 2017-03-31)
Total hip replacement (THR) has been one of the most successful surgeries in the 21st century. Ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMWPE) shows favorable mechanical and tribological properties when used as a bearing ...
Aparicio Bádenas, Conrado (Date of defense: 2005-04-15)
El éxito clínico de los implantes dentales, fabricados en titanio comercialmente puro (Ti c.p.), está basado en la consecución de la osteointegración, es decir, la conexión directa estructural y funcional entre el hueso ...
Díez Escudero, Anna (Date of defense: 2017-11-13)
Bone is the most transplanted tissue after blood. As pointed out by the World Health Organization, musculoskeletal diseases can potentially rise as the fourth largest cause of disability within the next years. Unfortunately, ...
Pujante Agudo, Jaume (Date of defense: 2015-12-21)
Press hardening, also known as hot stamping, is a hot sheet metal forming technique which allows producing lightweight components with complex geometry and outstanding mechanical properties. For this reason, use of press ...
