  2. 1. In vivo and in vitro studies of polyetheretherketone: bone formation, inflammatory response and biofilm formation

    Author : Sargon Barkarmo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PEEK; polyetheretherketone; hydroxyapatite; nanotopography; osseointegration; cytokines; biofilms; biomaterials; dental materials; titanium; nanocoated;

    Abstract : In prosthetic dentistry, restorative materials are used to replace missing teeth and tissues, so as to maintain oral functionalities and comfort for the patient. Depending on the clinical problem, metals, ceramics or polymers, are used both in dentistry and orthopedics. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the Immune Regulation of Bone Response to Biomaterials

    Author : Ricardo Trindade; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomaterial; Immune System; Osseointegration; Foreign body reaction; Immune modulation; Titanium; Copper; Polyether ether ketone; PEEK;

    Abstract : Osseointegration is the biological basis for bone anchorage of oral implants, and revolu-tionized the replacement of lost teeth. It is also applied in bone anchored hearing aids and limb replacement in amputees. READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dental Implants; Dentala implantat;

    Abstract : People are living longer today than ever before, and the number of older adults will increase exponentially over the next coming years. However, that does not necessarily mean that they are living healthier. READ MORE

  6. 4. Dynamic Performance and Design Aspects of Compliant Fluid Film Bearings

    Author : Matthew Cha; Sergei Glavatskih; Kyung-Woong Kim; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Compliant bearing; dynamic performance; design aspects; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Due to government regulations together with health and safety reasons, there are increasing demands on reducing hazardous polluting chemicals from fossil fuel power plants. Therefore, more efforts are imposed on using renewable resources such as water, wind, solar and tide to produce clean/green electricity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Thiol-Ene/Yne Adhesives for Tissue Fixation

    Author : Viktor Granskog; Michael Malkoch; Philip Messersmith; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : The utilization of adhesives in surgery has not reached its full potential and research in the field is encouraged by the surgeons’ desire for improved alternatives to today’s tissue fixation strategies. Here, adhesive resins based on thiol-ene coupling (TEC) chemistry or thiol-yne coupling (TYC) chemistry are exploited to develop tissue adhesives that cure fast and on-demand via photoinitiation.
