Effects of Surface Characteristics of Hydroxyapatite and Substituted Hydroxyapatites on Protein Attachment and Angiogenesis
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) aims to improve the healing of bone fractures using scaffolds that mimic the native extracellular matrix. For successful bone regeneration, scaffolds should promote simultaneous bone tissue ... -
Compositional Optimisation of a Ni-based Superalloy for Additive Repair Applications
The use of additive manufacturing (AM) for the fabrication of Ni-based alloys has seen a massive uptake in commercial institutions. Among their many merits, AM techniques offer a unique route for the repair of a wide range ... -
Electrospun polymer fibers for triboelectric energy harvesting applications in smart textiles
Wearable biosensors embedded into smart textiles have the potential to revolutionise healthcare by enabling the measurement of vital signs in real-time. However, the deployment of these devices is hindered by their power ... -
Ultrasound-assisted Ice Nucleation, Fibroblast Migration and Oxygen Delivery in Collagen Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
Three-dimensional, porous collagen tissue engineering scaffolds can be produced using freeze-drying. However, the stochastic nature of ice nucleation may lead to architectural variability between structures created using ...
