Collagen Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering: The Relationship between Microstructure, Fluid Dynamics, Mechanics and Scaffold Deformation
(2018-07-20)Collagen scaffolds are porous structures which are used in bioreactors and in a wide range of tissue engineering applications. In these contexts, the scaffolds may be subjected to conditions in which fluid is forced through ... -
Electron Microscopy Studies of Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells
(2018-07-20)Over the last five years hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites have attracted strong interest in the solar cell community as a result of their high power conversion efficiency and the solid opportunity to realise ... -
Investigation on the Properties of Nanowire Structures and Hillocks of Group-III Nitride Materials
(2018-07-21)Group-III nitride materials are increasingly important, because of their semiconducting properties and bandgaps tuneable across a wide range from the infrared to ultraviolet. They are of particular interest for optoelectronic ... -
The Degradation and Drug Release Mechanisms of Poly(ethylene glycol)-functionalised Poly(L-lactide) Polymers
(2018-07-21)Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) is a well-recognised bioresorbable polymer known to degrade after 1.5 to 5 years by hydrolysis. For certain medical device or drug delivery applications, it would be desirable to reduce this degradation ...
