    • 3D-printed polymeric bioresorbable stents for cardiovascular applications 

      Chausse Calbet, Victor (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2023-05-26)
      Doctoral thesis
      Open Access
      (English) Bioresorbable stents (BRS) have been envisioned as a revolution in the treatment of coronary heart disease. Ideally, stents would initially retain sufficient radial strength after implantation to prevent vessel ...
    • Chemical vs thermal accelerated hydrolytic degradation of 3D-printed PLLA/PLCL bioresorbable stents: characterization and influence of sterilization 

      Chausse Calbet, Victor; Iglesias, Clàudia; Bou Petit, Elisabeth; Ginebra Molins, Maria Pau; Pegueroles Neyra, Marta (Elsevier, 2023-01-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Bioresorbable stents (BRS) are designed to provide initial sufficient mechanical support to prevent vessel recoil while being degraded until their complete resorption. Therefore, degradation rate of BRS plays a crucial ...
    • Dual peptide functionalization of Zn alloys to enhance endothelialization for cardiovascular applications 

      García Mintegui, Claudia; Chausse Calbet, Victor; Labay, Cédric Pierre; Mas Moruno, Carlos; Ginebra Molins, Maria Pau; Cortina Pallás, José Luis; Pegueroles Neyra, Marta (Elsevier, 2024-02-01)

      Open Access
      Covenantee:   Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya
      A new generation of fully bioresorbable metallic Zn-based alloys could be used for stenting applications; however, the initial surface degradation delays stent re-endothelialization. Thus, this work proposes a dual strategy ...
    • Functionalization of 3D printed polymeric bioresorbable stents with a dual cell-adhesive peptidic platform combining RGDS and YIGSR sequences 

      Chausse Calbet, Victor; Mas Moruno, Carlos; Martín Gómez, Helena; Pino Curto, Marc; Díaz Ricart, Maribel; Escolar Albaladejo, Ginés; Ginebra Molins, Maria Pau; Pegueroles Neyra, Marta (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2023-05-08)

      Open Access
      Covenantee:   Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu / Hospital Clínic i Provincial de Barcelona / Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya
      Biomimetic surface modification with cell-adhesive peptides is a promising approach to improve endothelialization of current bioresorbable stents (BRS). Among them, RGDS and YIGSR sequences have been reported to mediate ...
    • Hydrogen photochemical production in a microreactor with Au/TiO2 nanoparticles 

      Chausse Calbet, Victor (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-06-30)
      Bachelor thesis
      Open Access
      The major aim of this bachelor’s thesis is the production of hydrogen (H2) from mixtures containing water (H2O) & ethanol (EtOH) by means of a photocatalytic process using Au/TiO2 nanoparticles. The reaction was carried ...

    • Numerical continuation in classical mechanics and thermodynamics 

      Gimenez, Aleix; Chausse Calbet, Victor; Meseguer Serrano, Álvaro (2015-01-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      In this paper, modern numerical continuation methodologies are presented as a way of understanding and computing multiplicity of solutions in undergraduate physics problems. Mechanical and thermodynamical problems are used ...
    • Photoproduction of hydrogen in microreactors: catalytic coating or slurry configuration? 

      Chausse Calbet, Victor; Llorca Piqué, Jordi (2020-01-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      A quartz microreactor containing 28 microchannels of 500 µm width and 105 mm length has been used to photoproduce hydrogen from liquid water-ethanol using an Au/TiO2 photocatalyst and UV light. The photomicroreactor has ...

      Open Access
      Covenantee:   Université Laval / Universiteit Gent / Università del Piemonte Orientale / Universität Würzburg
      A previously developed cellularized collagen-based vascular wall model showed promising results in mimicking the biological properties of a native vessel but lacked appropriate mechanical properties. In this work, we aim ...
    • Solvent-cast direct-writing and electrospinning as a dual fabrication strategy for drug-eluting polymeric bioresorbable stents 

      Chausse Calbet, Victor; Casanova Batlle, Enric; Canal Barnils, Cristina; Ginebra Molins, Maria Pau; Ciurana Gay, Joaquim; Pegueroles Neyra, Marta (Elsevier, 2023-06-05)
