Abstract:

La resposta del nostre cos als biomaterials suposa una gran obstacle per la efectivitat de múltiples teràpies basades en biomaterials. Accionats per la absorció inespecífica de biomolècules a la superfície del material, barreres com el sistema immune o les superfícies mucoses eliminen els materials del cos, evitant que arribin al seu destí i realitzin la seva funció. Els materials zwitteriònics han emergit en els últims anys com a materials antiadherents prometedors per a superar les mencionades barreres. Tot i que molts sistemes han utilitzat els materials zwitteriònics com a recobriments, le

Abstract:

The inherent design freedom of protein engineering and recombinant protein production enables specific tailoring of protein structure, function, and properties. Two areas of research where protein engineering has allowed for many advances in biomedical materials include the design of novel protein scaffolds for molecular recognition, as well as the use of recombinant proteins for production of next generation biomaterials. The main focus of my dissertation was to develop new biomedical materials using protein engineering. Chapters three and four discuss the engineering of repeat proteins as

Laser processing methods have become very appealing for the fabrication of micro/nano structures. To fabricate 3D structures with high resolution and arbitrary complexity, several material deposition processes are in use. By using appropriate moulding techniques, these structures can be fabricated out of a variety of materials such as polymers, ceramics and composites. In this work different lasers have been investigated regarding their suitability for additive and subtractive patterning of small features for biomedical applications.

The elasto-plastic response and recoil analysis of two-dimensional honeycomb is presented.

Advancements in the biomedical field are driven by the design of novel materials with controlled physical and bio-interactive properties. To develop such materials, researchers rely on the use of highly efficient reactions for the assembly of advanced polymeric scaffolds that meet the demands of a functional biomaterial. In this thesis two main strategies for such materials have been explored; these include the use of off-stoichiometric thiol-ene networks and dendritic polymer scaffolds. In the first case, the highly efficient UV-induced thiol-ene coupling (TEC) reaction was used to create cro

Magnesium has been identified as a promising biodegradable implant material because it does not cause systemic toxicity and can reduce stress shielding. However, it corrodes too quickly in the body.

Thus, alloying magnesium with titanium is expected to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium.
