Structural, mechanical and swelling characteristics of 3D scaffolds from chitosan-agarose blends (2018)
Journal Article

This study aimed to explore the correlation between mechanical and structural properties of chitosan-agarose blend (Ch-Agrs) scaffolds. Porosity of Ch-Agrs scaffolds was constant at 93%, whilst pore sizes varied between 150 and 550 μm. Pore sizes of...

Two step porosification of biomimetic thin-film hydroxyapatite/alpha-tri calcium phosphate coatings by pulsed electron beam irradation (2018)
Journal Article

Here we show a new and effective methodology for rapid/controllable porosification of thin-film ceramics, which may be applied, in medical devices/electronics and membrane nano-filtration. Dense hydroxyapatite applied to Ti6Al4V by plasma-assisted PV...

Performance of multiphase scaffolds for bone repair based on two-photon polymerized poly(d,l-lactide-co-?-caprolactone), recombinamers hydrogel and nano-HA (2018)
Journal Article

Multiphase hybrids were fabricated from poly(d,l-lactide-co-ɛ-caprolactone) (PLCL) copolymer scaffolds impregnated with silk-elastin-like recombinamers (SELRs) hydrogel containing 2 wt% hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA). The PLCL scaffolds, triply-p...

Dielectric breakdown of alumina thin films produced by pulsed direct current magnetron sputtering (2018)
Journal Article

Alumina films (~2 μm thick) were deposited with a mixed Cu/Al interlayer onto copper. Direct current (DC)/Pulsed DC (PDC) magnetron sputtering techniques were independently compared for reactive alumina sputtering. In DC sputtered films, elemental al...

Laser sintering of nano-hydroxyapatite coated polyamide 12 powders (2018)
Journal Article

As part of a larger study on the laser sintering (LS) of nano-composite structures for biomedical applications, a wet mixing method was used to coat Polyamide 12 (PA12) particles with nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA). The addition of nHA significantly affec... Read More about Laser sintering of nano-hydroxyapatite coated polyamide 12 powders.

Flexible and transparent films produced from cellulose nanowhisker reinforced agarose (2018)
Journal Article

Transparent and flexible nanocomposite films with a range of Agarose to Cellulose Nano-Whisker (CNW) ratios were produced using never-dried CNWs. The incorporation of never-dried CNWs within Agarose played an important role in the surface roughness (...

Live quantitative monitoring of mineral deposition in stem cells using tetracycline hydrochloride (2018)
Journal Article

The final stage of in vitro osteogenic differentiation is characterized by the production of mineral deposits containing calcium cations and inorganic phosphates, which populate the extracellular matrix surrounding the cell monolayer. Conventional hi... Read More about Live quantitative monitoring of mineral deposition in stem cells using tetracycline hydrochloride.

Single solvent based film casting method for the production of porous polymer films (2018)
Journal Article

A single solvent based film casting process for fabricating porous polymer films was developed in this study. The porous film was produced by mixing concentrated polylactic acid/ chloroform solution (20 wt%) and fresh chloroform solvent followed by f...
