The topic of this Philosophy Doctor Thesis tallies with the national project MAT2012 of the BBT group of UPC: "Pore4Bone: Biomimetic calcium phosphates: tailoring porosity from the nano- to the macroscale for osteoinduction, ...
This doctoral thesis has been carried out at the company VAC-TRON S.A., together with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, in the Besós (EEBE) and Vilanova i la Geltrú ...
An insufficient vascularization of the wound site is often the cause of failure in tissue regeneration. The use of cell therapy or growth factors has introduced promising results, nevertheless, they are risky, expensive ...
(English) This thesis is framed in the ERC Starting Grant Project “Atmospheric Pressure plAsma meets biomaterials for bone Cancer HEaling (APACHE)”. The APACHE Project aims at evaluating plasma technology as therapy against ...
(English) One of the main goals of the powder metallurgical (PM) industry has been to develop powders that have favourable handling, geometrical and optimal metallurgical properties. Currently, there are two main methods ...
Titanium (Ti) has been used for decades for bone prostheses due to its mechanical performance and good biocompatibility. However, the stress shielding effect, as a result of the stiffness mismatch between titanium and the ...
One of the techniques to make porous membranes from polymers is based on the stretching a polymer film containing a row-nucleated !amellar structure.This special crystalline structure may be achieved using a processing ...
(English) The restoration of the functionality of lost teeth is mainly accomplished placing dental implants. However, in the case of alveolar bone atrophies, this treatment might not be possible. Various treatments have ...
Labels misplacement in the bottles are currently causing problems in wine cellar's labelling lines. According to data provided by Codorníu and Torres cellars, 1% of the bottles present this issue. Once the wine or cava ...
(English) Oncogenic pathologies are the second leading cause of death worldwide only after cardiovascular diseases. It is estimated that, by 2030, the number of patients diagnosed with this disease will increase by nearly ...
(English) In recent years, numerous studies have been carried out on functional textiles due to their ability to adapt and interact with the environment. In particular, special focus has been placed on dynamic textiles ...
Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys have been used for decades for bone implants and prostheses due to its mechanical reliability and good biocompatibility. However, implant-related infections, lack of osseointegration with the ...
The aim of this dissertation was to develop and investigate novel cellular foams based on polyetherimide (PEI) and carbonbased nanoparticles such as, graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) and carbon nanotubes (CNT), using two main ...
This dissertation investigates the three-stage method MEAUS (melt-extrusion, annealing, and uniaxial stretching) for producing microporous membranes. This method for membrane preparation is a solvent-free process based on ...
(English) The automotive industry is constantly seeking to improve the performance of the car and at the same time reduce CO2 emissions into the environment, which can be achieved among other solutions through the use of ...
(English) Pre-salt oil exploration means a new development path for Brazil. This activity stimulates investments from national and foreign companies, boosts the production of technology, promotes greater professional ...
(English) This PhD thesis is framed in the European Research Council starting grant project "Atmospheric Pressure plasma meets biomaterials far bone Cancer HEaling (APACHE)". The APACHE project is focused on the design of ...
Numerical and experimental simulation of engineering materials has been an emerging topic for recent decades. Reliable and efficient numerical simulations are only possible through correct and pragmatic modeling approaches. ...
In this thesis the polyester dyeing at low temperatures has been assessed with two different methods: exhaustion method and thermosol method. Exhaustion dyeing process was performed with high and low molecular-weight ...
(English) Bone is the second most frequent tissue transplantation right after blood transfusion. Although it has natural self-healing abilities, bone grafts are required in critical size defects to provide mechanical ...
