Abstract:

Advances in the design of adaptive matter capable of programmable, environmentally-responsive changes in shape would enable myriad applications including smart textiles, scaffolds for tissue engineering, and smart machines. 4D printing is an emerging approach in which 3D objects are produced whose shape changes over time. Initial demonstrations have relied on commercial 3D printers and proprietary materials, which limits both the tunability and mechanisms that can be incorporated into the printed architectures. My Ph.D. thesis focuses on a new 4D printing method, which is inspired by the move

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the use of biomolecular assemblies for creating materials with novel properties. Several aspects of biomimetic materials have been investigated, from fundamental studies on membrane shaping molecules to the integration of biomolecules with inorganic materials. Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) are mathematically defined surfaces that partition space and present a large surface area in a confined space. These surfaces have analogues in many physical systems. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can form intricate structures and it acts as a replica for the wing scales of

The quest for novel biomaterials to promote cell structural and functional maturation for cardiac tissue regeneration has emphasized a need to create microenvironments with physiological features. Substrate stiffness constitutes a structural property of crucial importance in the field of tissue engineering and many studies have shown how cardiac cells sense the rigidity of the substrate on which they grow. In this work, we focused on the relevance of substrates mimicking cardiac extracellular matrix (cECM) rigidity for the understanding of the complex interplay between the extracellular and in

Abstract:

The clinical success of a bone-anchored implant is controlled by many factors such as implant shape, chemical composition, mechanical and surface properties. The surface properties (e.g. charge, wettability and roughness) are considered to be important parameters for the biological acceptance of the biomaterial, whereas the bulk properties control the biomechanical behaviour. For implants designed to be used in load-bearing applications in the skeletal system, the biomaterial should preferably integrate into bone tissue for a long lasting function.

Abstract:

Passive plant actuators have fascinated many researchers in the field of botany and structural biology since at least one century. Up to date, the most investigated tissue types in plant and artificial passive actuators are fibre-reinforced composites (and multilayered assemblies thereof) where stiff, almost inextensible cellulose microfibrils direct the otherwise isotropic swelling of a matrix. In addition, Nature provides examples of actuating systems based on lignified, low-swelling, cellular solids enclosing a high-swelling cellulosic phase.

Abstract:

A new approach for design and fabrication of new photoresponsive and biomimetic materials is described using theoretical predictions and experimental characterisations. Novel discrete hydrogen-bonded aggregates are formed from photoresponsive azodibenzoic acid building blocks, which can undergo a reversible cis-trans photoisomerisation. In trans-p-azodibenzoic acid, the two carboxylic groups are aligned parallel to each other while, in the cis isomer, they are almost perpendicular. This structural difference between the two isomers leads to different hydrogen-bonded geometries: the tran

Tissue engineering offers a paradigm shift in the treatment of back pain.

These behaviours include time-dependent deformation---facilitating shock absorption and nutrient transfer---and strong material anisotropy and tensile-compressive nonlinearities---providing flexibility in controlled directions.
