Silk granular hydrogels self-reinforced with regenerated silk fibroin fibers

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Peyman Karami, Adrien Julien Demongeot, Céline Samira Wyss

Granular hydrogels with high stability, strength, and toughness are laborious to develop. Post-curing is often employed to bind microgels chemically and enhance mechanical properties. Here a unique strategy was investigated to maintain microgels together w ...

Structures with adaptive stiffness and damping integrating shear thickening fluids

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, John Christopher Plummer, Christian Fischer, Sébastien Lavanchy, Razvan Cristian Neagu

The invention relates in particular to a method to process composite structures with tailored stiffness and damping performance incorporating a smart material, namely a shear thickening fluid (STF), preferably at the interface between two elements belongin ...

Polylactic Acid–Phosphate Glass Composite Foams as Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Phosphate glass (PG) of the composition 0.46(CaO)–0.04(Na2O)–0.5(P2O5) was used as filler in poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) foams developed as degradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The effect of PG on PLA was assessed both in bulk and porous composit ...

Synthesis and photopolymerization of Tween 20 Methacrylate/N-vinyl-2-Pyrrolidone blend

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, John Christopher Plummer, Ana Borges de Couraça

Poly(oxyethylene 20 sorbitan) monolaurate (Tween® 20) methacrylates were synthesized by coupling methacryloyl chloride (MeOCl) to Tween 20 in the presence of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino) pyridine, using THF as a solvent, in order to investigate their suitability ...

Solidification Behaviour Of PLLA/nHA Nanocomposites

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, John Christopher Plummer, Claire Diane Delabarde

PLLA crystallization rates increase with nHA content owing to increased nucleation, which compensates a decrease in spherulite growth rate, G, at 100 to 130 °C, and to suppression of the twin peak in G(T) seen in pure PLLA, linked to a transition from the ...

A composite biofoam, from research to in vivo validation

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Bone tissue engineering aims at developing scaffolds, or porous structures, as supports for cell migration, proliferation and differentiation, in order to favor bone healing. L-poly lactic acid (PLA) foams, which were reinforced or not with β-tricalcium ph ...

How plate positioning impacts the biomechanics of the open wedge tibial osteotomy; a finite element analysis

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Luc Blecha

A numerical model of the medial open wedge tibial osteotomy based on the finite element method was developed. Two plate positions were tested numerically. In a configuration, (a), the plate was fixed in a medial position and (b) in an anteromedial position ...

Biodegradable polylactide/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite foam scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, John Christopher Plummer, Claire Diane Delabarde

Supercritical carbon dioxide processing of poly--lactide (PLLA)/hydroxyapatite (nHA) nanocomposites was investigated as a means to prepare foams suitable as scaffolds in bone tissue engineering applications. For given foaming parameters, addition of nHA to ...

The potential of wood fibers as reinforcement in cellular biopolymers

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Matthieu Cuénoud, Razvan Cristian Neagu

Wood fiber-reinforced polylactic acid composite foams have been successfully produced using supercritical carbon dioxide. The addition of fibers had a strong effect on microstructure of the foams. An increase in wood fiber content implied smaller average c ...
