Ion beam modification of metals: Compositional and microstructural changes
(Elsevier, 1989)
Ion implantation has become a highly developed tool for modifying the structure and properties of metals and alloys. In addition to direct implantation, a variety of other ion beam techniques such as ion beam mixing, ion ...
Synthetic nano-fibrillar extracellular matrices with predesigned macroporous architectures
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-11)
Scaffolding plays a pivotal role in tissue engineering. To mimic the architecture of a natural extracellular matrix component—collagen, nona-fibrous matrices have been created with synthetic biodegradable polymers in our ...
Synthesis and Erosion Properties of PEG-Containing Polyanhydrides
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2007-05-10)
To tailor the erosion rate of polyanhydrides while retaining their surface erosion characteristics, new three-component polyanhydrides of sebacic acid, 1,3-bis( p -carboxyphenoxy)propane and poly(ethylene glycol) were ...
Engineering new bone tissue in vitro on highly porous poly(Α-hydroxyl acids)/hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-02)
Engineering new bone tissue with cells and a synthetic extracellular matrix (scaffolding) represents a new approach for the regeneration of mineralized tissues compared with the transplantation of bone (autografts or ...
Nano-fibrous scaffolding architecture selectively enhances protein adsorption contributing to cell attachment
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-11-01)
Tissue engineering aims at resolving problems such as donor shortage and immune rejection faced by transplantation. Scaffolds (artificial extracellular matrices) have critical roles in tissue engineering. Recently, we ...
Spatioselective Modification of Bicompartmental Polymer Particles and Fibers via Huisgen 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2008-10-22)
Precise nano- and microscale control of the architecture of biodegradable biomaterials is desirable for several biotechnological applications such as drug delivery, diagnostics, and medical imaging. Herein, we combine ...
Polymeric Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Biomedical Engineering Society ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-03)
Bone tissue engineering is a rapidly developing area. Engineering bone typically uses an artificial extracellular matrix (scaffold), osteoblasts or cells that can become osteoblasts, and regulating factors that promote ...
Porous poly( L -lactic acid)/apatite composites created by biomimetic process
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-06-15)
Highly porous poly( L -lactic acid)/apatite composites were prepared through in situ formation of carbonated apatite onto poly( L -lactic acid) foams in a simulated body fluid. The highly porous polymer foams (up to 95% ...
