    Author : Hector Martinez Avila; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nasoseptal Chondrocytes; Tissue Engineering; Auricular Cartilage; Auricular reconstruction; Bacterial Nanocellulose; Neocartilage; Nanofibrillated Cellulose; Mononuclear Cells; 3D Bioprinting;

    Abstract : In about 2:10,000 births the external part of the ear, the auricle, is severely malformed or absent. Furthermore, tumors and trauma can cause defects to the auricle. READ MORE

  4. 2. Templating and self-assembly of biomimetic materials

    Author : Christian Mille; Lennart Bergström; Mika Linden; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biomimetic; biotemplating; self-assembly; triply periodic minimal surfaces; the gyroid; photonic crystals; band gap; structural color; chirality; butterflies; membrane proteins; lipid bilayers; sol-gel; mesostructured; polyhedral nanofoams; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the use of biomolecular assemblies for creating materials with novel properties. Several aspects of biomimetic materials have been investigated, from fundamental studies on membrane shaping molecules to the integration of biomolecules with inorganic materials. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biomaterials as carriers for bone active molecules-An approach to create off-the-shelf bone substitutes

    Author : Deepak Raina; Lund Ortopedi; []

    Abstract : Bone tissue is commonly transplanted during orthopedic surgeries, primarily for the management of bone defects caused by trauma or various orthopedic conditions including, but not limited to, infections and tumours. Bone grafts are a surgeon’s choice, but their associated drawbacks are paving the way for biomaterial based bone graft substitutes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Shaping Macroporous Ceramics : templated synthesis, X-ray tomography and permeability

    Author : Linnéa Andersson; Lennart Bergström; Ludwig Gauckler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Alumina; ceramic; CO2 capture; colloidal processing; expandable microspheres; gel casting; layer-by-layer; macroporosity; near-net shape; non-destructive evaluation; permeability; porosity; sacrificial templating; X-ray computed tomography; Chemistry; Kemi; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : Macroporous ceramic materials have found widespread technological application ranging from particulate filters in diesel engines, tissue engineering scaffolds, and as support materials in carbon capture processes. This thesis demonstrates how the pore space of macroporous alumina can be manipulated, analysed in three-dimensions (3D) using visualisation techniques, and functionalised with a CO2-adsorbing material.
