The Influence of Copolymer Composition on PLGA/nHA Scaffolds’ Cytotoxicity and In Vitro Degradation
(MDPI, 2017-07-06)
The influence of copolymer composition on Poly(Lactide-co-Glycolide)/nanohydroxyapatite (PLGA/nHA) composite scaffolds is studied in the context of bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The composite scaffolds ...
BAMS: A Tool for Supervised Burned Area Mapping Using Landsat Data
(MDPI, 2014-12)
A new supervised burned area mapping software named BAMS (Burned Area Mapping Software) is presented in this paper. The tool was built from standard ArcGIS (TM) libraries. It computes several of the spectral indexes most ...
Nanofluids based on molten nitrates for thermal energy storage and heat transfer in concentrated solar power.
(2017-11-20)
El suministro de energía es un tema de vital importancia que afecta especialmente a la sociedad debido a la emisión de Gases de Efecto Invernadero (GEI) y la necesidad de reducir el uso de combustibles fósiles. Es bien ...
Radiopaque Material for 3D Printing Scaffolds
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2018)
The so called “Additive manufacturing” is a new manufacturing process which consists in translating virtual solid model data into physical models in a quick and easy process. The most known example is 3D printing. In the ...
Biodegradable Polyester / Crystalline Nanocellulose Nanocomposites for Biomedical Applications: Preparation and Characterization
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2018)
The use of biodegradable polymers in biomedicine is rising and polymer matrices loaded with reinforcements can be good candidates for temporary implants and tissue engineering scaffolds. In this work poly (ethylene brassylate) ...
Catechol End-Functionalized Polylactide by Organocatalyzed Ring-Opening Polymerization
(MDPI, 2018-02-06)
There is a great interest in incorporating catechol moieties into polymers in a controlled manner due to their interesting properties, such as the promotion of adhesion, redox activity or bioactivity. One possibility is ...
Development of poly (3- caprolactone) based biodegradable polymeric blends with biologically active compounds for making drug eluting medical devices
(2018-03-28)
Casi la mitad de las infecciones nosocomiales (aquellas contraídas durante la hospitalización) están asociadas a la utilización de dispositivos biomédicos. Son infecciones difíciles de tratar y muchas de ellas, implican ...
Novel biodegradable and non-fouling systems for controlled-release based on poly(ε-caprolactone)/Quercetin blends and biomimetic bacterial S-layer coatings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-08-05)
Quercetin is a strong antioxidant with low bioavailability due to its high crystallinity. A further drawback is that Quercetin has potentially toxic effects at high concentrations. To improve this low water solubility, as ...
Bond between steel reinforcement bars and electric arc furnace slag concrete
(Springer, 2017-04-21)
This paper deals with the bond between steel reinforcement and recycled aggregate concrete, including Electric arc furnace (EAF) slag as full replacement of natural coarse aggregates. Pull-out tests were carried out according ...
Comparison between experimental values and standards on natural stone masonry mechanical properties
(Elsevier, 2012-03-01)
[EN] The research presented in this paper investigates the mechanical properties under compressive loads of a natural stone masonry. Selected materials and arrangement are typical from the Romanesque period, the main ...
