A study of the rheological properties and injectability of calcium phosphate cements : application to minimally invasive surgical procedures and scaffold fabrication for tissue engineering through rapid prototyping

Maazouz, Yassine (Date of defense: 2018-10-15)

The present work addresses two different applications enabled by a specific and useful property of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs): injectability. On the one hand minimally invasive procedures involving the use of CPCs ...

Desarrollo de un nuevo proceso basado en la inyección 3D de tintas con carga metálica para fabricar prótesis porosas de titanio bioactivas y con propiedades antibacterianas

Torres Garrido, Diego (Date of defense: 2021-10-07)

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 ...

Development of metallic functionalized biomaterials with low elastic modulus for orthopedic applications

Vidal Girona, Elia (Date of defense: 2021-02-12)

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 ...

Development of polymeric coatings with combined antifouling/antibacterial properties for titanium dental implants

Buxadera Palomero, Judit (Date of defense: 2017-07-19)

Titanium dental implants are a commonly used solution for the replacement of lost teeth. Even though the success rate is high, the number of infections related to the placement of the implant is still remarkable and may ...

Estudio de la biomecánica del procedimiento de vertebroplastia

Gómez González, Sergio (Date of defense: 2014-11-05)

Vertebroplasty (VP) is a surgical procedure used to treat osteoporosis induced vertebral compresion fractures. This procedure involves the injection of bone cement into the porous vertebral body through a cannula. The ...

Functionalized CoCr surfaces with adhesive molecules to improve endothelialization

Castellanos Arboleda, Maria Isabel (Date of defense: 2017-05-05)

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 ...

Surface modification of zirconia-based bioceramics for orthopedic and dental applications

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 ...
