  2. 1. Bioactive Surgical Implant Coatings with Optional Antibacterial Function

    Author : Mirjam Lilja; Maria Strømme; Håkan Engqvist; Håvard Haugen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydroxyapatite; titanium dioxide; photocatalysis; antibacterial effect; antibiotic release; biomimetic coating; co-precipitation; tobramycin;

    Abstract : Device associated infections are a growing problem in the field of orthopaedics and dentistry. Bacteria adhering to implant surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation are challenging to treat with systemic administered antibiotics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Biomimetic Deposition of Hydroxyapatite on Titanium Implant Materials

    Author : Carl Lindahl; Håkan Engqvist; Martin Andersson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : The clinical success of a bone-anchored implant is controlled by many factors such as implant shape, chemical composition, mechanical and surface properties. The surface properties (e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Luminescent textiles using biobased products : A bioinspired approach

    Author : Sweta Iyer; Högskolan i Borås; []
