Hydrogels for bone tissue engineering
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2013-06-18)Hydrogels are polymeric networks with three-dimensional configurations capable of imbibing large amounts of water or biological fluids. Hydrogels can be tailored by varying porosity, pore size, surface to volume ratio, ... -
An investigation into the potential use of a hydrogel / thermoplastic elastomer system for knee surgery applications
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)With over 1.7 million meniscal injuries in the western world treated each year the treatment of irreparable meniscal tears remains a major challenge for the orthopaedic community, thus a $2bn global market has emerged. ... -
Photopolymerisable scaffolds for osteomyelitis bone defects
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)Tissue engineering is the method of replicating tissue by using principles of engineering, medicine and physical sciences [1]. Recently, this area of research has received extensive investigation in the literature for ... -
Polymeric scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)Most bone graft procedures are implemented to repair bone defects stemming from injury or disease. Despite the benefits of current treatment options, limitations such as immune rejection, complicated surgical procedures ...
