Beeswax-enriched tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite/sodium alginate/ thymol 3D...
Francisco, Martinho Jorge; Cabral, Cátia Solange Duarte; Calvinho, Paula Cristina Nunes Ferreira; Correia, Ilídio Joaquim SobreiraTissue engineering, particularly bone tissue engineering (BTE), continues to pose significant challenges to modern medicine. In this work, a rapid prototyping technique was explored to create 3D scaffolds using a Fab@Home 3D-Plotter extruder. For that purpose, a novel composite mixture containing tricalcium phosphate (TCP), hydroxyapatite (HAp), sodium alginate (SA), beeswax (BW), and thymol (TM) was formulated...
UV-crosslinked biomaterials: Functionalized polyethylene glycol for tissue adhe...
Cernadas, Maria Teresa; Ferreira, Mariana; Melo, Bruna Daniela Lopes; de Melo-Diogo, Duarte; Correia, Ilídio Joaquim SobreiraSurgeons around the world face the challenge of effectively and securely treat acute wounds. The most used techniques used to reestablish proper tissue continuity and promote healing comprise surgical tape strips and wound suturing or stapling. However, these have different limitations associated, like additional tissue trauma and patient discomfort. Tissue adhesives have emerged as a promising alternative to t...
Renewable Photo-Cross-Linkable Polyester-Based Biomaterials: Synthesis, Charact...
Cernadas, Maria Teresa; Pereira, João; Melo, Bruna Daniela Lopes; de Melo-Diogo, Duarte; Correia, Ilídio Joaquim Sobreira; Alves, PatríciaTThe present work consist of the synthesis of photo-crosslinkable materials, based on unsaturated polyesters (UPs), synthesized from biobased monomers from renewable sources such as itaconic acid and 1,4- butanediol. The UPs were characterized to assess the influence of polycondensation reaction temperature and cross-linking time on their final properties. For this purpose, different UV irradiation exposure per...
