Lactide-Valerolactone Copolymers for Packaging Applications
(MDPI, 2021-12-23)
Lactide-valerolactone copolymers have potential application in the packaging sector. Different copolymers were synthesized, and the kinetics of the copolymerization reactions and the microstructure of the copolymers were ...
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 ...
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 ...
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) ...
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 ...
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 ...
Benefits of Polydopamine as Particle/Matrix Interface in Polylactide/PD-BaSO4 Scaffolds
(MDPI, 2020-07-31)
This work reports the versatility of polydopamine (PD) when applied as a particle coating in a composite of polylactide (PLA). Polydopamine was observed to increase the particle–matrix interface strength and facilitate the ...
Thermoplastic elastomers based on lactide and caprolactone: The influence of chain microstructure on surface topography and subsequent interaction with cells
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
Surface biophysical properties of biomaterials, including surface topography and roughness, determine the interaction of a biomaterial with the surrounding cells, tissues and organs once implanted in the human body. Herein, ...
