Crystallization Behavior and Mechanical Properties of Poly(ε-caprolactone) Reinforced with Barium Sulfate Submicron Particles
(MDPI, 2021-05-02)
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was mixed with submicron particles of barium sulfate to obtain biodegradable radiopaque composites. X-ray images comparing with aluminum samples show that 15 wt.% barium sulfate (BaSO4) is ...
Propiedades mecánicas de nanocomposites de matriz Polilactida-e-caprolactona reforzados con nanotubos de carbono funcionalizados con polivinilpirrolidona y polidopamina
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2018)
En este estudio se muestra el efecto de diferentes funcionalizaciones a nanotubos de carbono de pared múltiple (CNT) en las propiedades mecánicas de base Poli-lactida-e- caprolactona (PLCL) para su utilización en aplicaciones ...
Polímeros biodegradables con moléculas biológicamente activas para la prevención de infecciones en dispositivos biomédicos
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2018)
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 ...
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) ...
Novel Hydrogels of Chitosan and Poly(vinyl alcohol) Reinforced with Inorganic Particles of Bioactive Glass
(MDPI, 2021-02-25)
Chitosan (CS) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels, a polymeric system that shows a broad potential in biomedical applications, were developed. Despite the advantages they present, their mechanical properties are ...
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 ...
Miscibility, interactions and antimicrobial activity of poly(ε-caprolactone)/ chloramphenicol blends
(Elsevier, 2018-03-13)
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) has been blended with Chloramphenicol (CAM), a well-known bacteriostatic antibiotic, in order to obtain new biomaterials with antibacterial properties. The resulting samples have been thoroughly ...
The conformation of chloramphenicol in the ordered and disordered phases
(Elsevier, 2019-03-15)
The conformational behavior of chloramphenicol (CHL) in the solid, liquid and
vapor phases is revisited here by means of FTIR spectroscopy and QM methods. In the
crystalline phase, both the IR analysis and QM computations ...
Evaluating Efficacy of Antimicrobial and Antifouling Materials for Urinary Tract Medical Devices: Challenges and Recommendations
(WILEY-VCH, 2019-05)
In Europe, the mean incidence of urinary tract infections in intensive care units is 1.1 per 1000 patient-days. Of these cases, catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) account for 98%. In total, CAUTI in ...
