Abstract:
Biological and mechanical functions are sometimes two conflicting characteristics of bone tissue scaffolds, thus a trade-off between these two properties is critical. An ideal scaffold not only should be strong but also must possess adequate permeability to allow efficient transport of oxygen and nutrients. Mechanical stimulation is another important parameter known to control bone tissue formation in the scaffolds. Therefore, effective tools capable of reliably characterising and optimising different material properties of bone scaffolds are necessary in order to enhance bone regeneration out

Abstract:
Tissue restoration by tissue scaffolding is an emerging technique with many potential applications. While it is well-known that the structural properties of tissue scaffolds play a critical role in cell regrowth, it is usually unclear how optimal tissue regeneration can be achieved. This thesis hereby presents a computational investigation of tissue scaffold design and optimisation. This study proposes an isosurface-based characterisation and optimisation technique for the design of microscopic architecture, and a porosity-based approach for the design of macroscopic structure.

Design of Controlled Environment for Tissue Engineering Malcolm Lapera Tissue engineering aims at relieving the need for donor tissue and organs by developing a process of creating viable tissues in the laboratory setting.

Abstract:
Most of the conventional organic-inorganic composite materials developed for bone tissue engineering do not possess intimate interactions between their constituents. As a consequence, they generally degrade in a non-homogeneous manner and lose easily their integrity under mechanical load. On the other hand, their bioactive phase (i.e. inorganic) is often masked by the polymeric one, resulting in a non optimal bioactivity. To overcome these problems, hybrid materials can be produced. Hybrids are composites that exhibit an improved synergy between their compounds at the nanoscale. Using the sol-
