In vascular surgery, most synthetic vascular grafts currently used for large vessels replacements are made of Dacron (polyethylene terephthalate; PET). In this study, the dynamic response of these synthetic arterial substitutes to physiological pulsatile conditions is investigated in depth. Experiments were performed on a mock circulatory loop deve...

The adipose-derived stem cell has been used in various regenerative medicine research due to its multiple differentiation capabilities. Developing a stable and quick approach for the differentiation of stem cells is a critical issue in tissue regenerative field. In this investigation, rat adipose-derived stem cells (rADSCs) were seeded onto the typ...

Considering the inferior mechanical properties of the current bioresorbable polymers, a novel bioresorbable magnesium-reinforced polylactide (PLA) membrane was designed for the application in critical defect sites in guided bone/tissue regeneration. The PLA-FAZ91 membrane was fabricated by combining two PLA membranes with a fluoride-coated AZ91 (9 ...

The imitation of biological tissue in a synthetic physical model can benefit many medical applications, e.g. pre surgical planning or education. For a quantitative validation of the model's mechanical behavior, standardized testing on both, the biological original and the artificial material, is necessary. In four parts, this study focuses on the b...

In order to create accurate anatomical models for medical training and research, mechanical properties of biological tissues need to be studied. However, non-linear and viscoelastic behaviour of most soft biological tissues complicates the evaluation of their mechanical properties. In the current study, a method for measuring hyperelasticity and vi...

The mechanical properties of plants are important for understanding plant biomechanics and for breeding new plants that can survive in challenging environments. Thus, accurate and reliable methods are required for the determination of mechanical properties such as stiffness and Young's modulus of elasticity. Much attention has been paid to the appl...

Clear dental aligners are commonly manufactured using thermoplastic materials such as Duran and Durasoft. Using conventional thermoforming methods there are inherent disadvantages including time consumption and poor geometrical accuracies that often occur. The use of digital technologies and 3D printing techniques for producing dental aligners is o...

Collagen constitutes one-third of human-body proteins, providing mechanical strength and structural stability. Films of collagen are widely used in tissue engineering as scaffolds for wound healing and corneal implants, among other applications, presupposing the investigation of their mechanical properties and performance under various loading and ...

From previous investigations it has been shown that there exists healthy-appearing articular cartilage that contains collagen fibril network destructuring. It is hypothesised that such sub-micron scale destructuring not only presents an increased vulnerability to tissue scale damage following impact loading, but an increase in cell death as well. C...

The biocompatible high-performance material PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is an attractive implant material, however, its hydrophobicity and high friction coefficients severely hinder its biomedical applications. Thus, it is inferred from the recent advances in surface modification technology, achieving the biomimetic natural joint lubrication system...
