Intra-ply hybridization of two different braided yarns can enhance flexural and shear strength compared to conventional yarn properties. Hybrid braids offer the potential to reduce costs and boost industrial productivity. An impregnated textile with resin coating exhibits more cohesive behavior, ensuring stress distribution throughout the yarns and preventing a reduction in the composite’s ultimate tensile capa...
Parametric design operates as an indispensable mechanism for the fabrication of elaborate geometries. In recent years, there has been an increase in the incidence of injuries to the spine and spinal cord. The most common causes of spinal cord injuries are traffic accidents, falls, high-impact sports, and acts of violence. The objective of this work was to graphically develop braided textile structures suitable ...
[Excerpt] Introduction Tendon and ligament injuries have a major impact on joint mobility and musculoskeletal performance. Current treatments frequently fall short of expectations, necessitating the development of artificial fibrous scaffolds that closely resemble native tissue. Wet polymeric nanofibers, particularly those based on poly(-caprolactone) (PCL), have shown promise in terms of biocompatibility, biod...
Nos últimos 10 anos, as lesões na coluna vertebral e medula têm se tornado cada vez mais frequentes; estima-se que entre 250.000 e 500.000 pessoas sejam afetadas anualmente por Lesão na Medula Espinhal (LME) (World Health Organization, 2013). A lesão medular pode ocorrer em virtude de acidentes ou do envelhecimento e resulta em fratura, luxação ou ferimento que afeta o referido tecido. Dentre as estratégias par...
The contemporaneity is marked by intense transformations that began in the IndustrialRevolution of England in the 18th century and continues until the present moment, identifiedas the Fourth Phase of the Industrial Revolution that is responsible for affecting several characteristicsof the production process. These changes will be responsible for changing theeconomic, commercial, social, environmental, technolog...
