Biomodels of bone: a review
(Springer, 2005)
In this paper, a definition of a biomodel is presented, based on which different specific types of biomodels are identified, viz., virtual biomodels, computational biomodels, and physical biomodels. The paper then focuses ...
Selective laser sintering of hydroxyapatite/poly-epsilon-caprolactone scaffolds
(2010)
Selective laser sintering (SLS) enables the fabrication of complex geometries with the intricate and controllable internal architecture required in the field of tissue engineering. In this study hydroxyapatite and ...
Effect of hydroxyapatite on biodegradable scaffolds fabricated by SLS
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd., 2009)
Selective laser sintering (SLS) has the potential to fabricate bioresorbable polymer / ceramic composite scaffolds with pre-designed external and internal architecture that can be used for bone tissue engineering applications. ...
Evaluating the effect of increasing ceramic content on the mechanical properties, material microstructure and degradation of selective laser sintered PCL/b-TCP materials
(Elsevier, 2015-06-06)
Orthopaedic scaffold materials were fabricated from polycaprolactone (PCL) and composite PCL β-tricalcium phosphate (PCL/β-TCP) powders using selective laser sintering (SLS). Incorporating β-TCP particles is ...
Experimental mechanical testing of Poly (l-Lactide) (PLLA) to facilitate pre-degradation characteristics for application in cardiovascular stenting
(Elsevier, 2016-07-19)
Next-generation stents made from Biodegradable Polymers (BPs) aim to address the long-term risks (i.e. late restenosis and in-stent thrombosis) associated with both Bare Metal Stents and Drug Eluting Stents, whilst aiming ...
Computational modelling of ovine critical-sized tibial defects with implanted scaffolds and prediction of the safety of fixator removal
(Elsevier, 2015-01-14)
Computational model geometries of tibial defects with two types of implanted tissue engineering scaffolds, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL)/β-TCP, are constructed from µ-CT scan images of the ...
Oxidation behaviour of particle reinforced MoSi2 composites at temperatures up to 1700 °C, Part I: Literature Review
(Wiley, 2005-02-04)
In the first part of this paper the results of a literature review are presented. An overview of the oxidation behaviour in air and in combustion environments of both pure MoSi2 and MoSi2 composites in the temperature range ...
Oxidation behaviour of particle reinforced MoSi2 composites at temperatures up to 1700°C. Part II: Initial screening of the oxidation behaviour of MoSi2 composites
(Wiley, 2005-03-01)
In the first part of this paper a literature survey on the oxidation behaviour of MoSi2 and MoSi2
composites has been given. The present second part reports about the
experimental results from oxidation tests with ...
Evaluation of a multiscale modelling methodology to predict the mechanical properties of PCL/β-TCP sintered scaffold materials
(Springer Verlag, 2014-12-02)
A multiscale modelling methodology to predict the macroscale stiffness of selective laser sintered polycaprolactone (PCL)/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) materials is evaluated. The relationship between a micromechanics-evaluated ...
Design and manufacturing of customised maxillofacial prostheses.
(Elsevier, 2003-04-28)
Customised implants created by Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) techniques and used in
maxillofacial reconstruction indicate improved outcomes over conventional techniques.
‘‘Non-functional’’ multistaged procedures are ...
