Brushite foams - the effect of Tween® 80 and Pluronic® F-127 on foam porosity and mechanical properties
(2015-01-23)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Uppsala universitetResorbable calcium phosphate based bone void fillers should work as temporary templates for new bone formation. The incorporation of macropores with sizes of 100 -300 µm has been shown to increase the resorption rate of ... -
Compressive, diametral tensile and biaxial flexural strength of cutting-edge calcium phosphate cements
(Elsevier, 2016-07-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Uppsala universitet© 2016 The Authors. Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are widely used in bone repair. Currently there are two main types of CPCs, brushite and apatite. The aim of this project was to evaluate the mechanical properties of ... -
Porosity prediction of calcium phosphate cements based on chemical composition
(2015-07-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Uppsala universitetThe porosity of calcium phosphate cements has an impact on several important parameters, such as strength, resorbability and bioactivity. A model to predict the porosity for biomedical cements would hence be a useful tool. ... -
Reactive combinatorial synthesis and characterization of a gradient Ag-Ti oxide thin film with antibacterial properties
(2015-01-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Uppsala universitetThe growing demand for orthopedic and dental implants has spurred researchers to develop multifunctional coatings, combining tissue integration with antibacterial features. A possible strategy to endow titanium (Ti) with ... -
The effect of unsaturated fatty acid and triglyceride oil addition on the mechanical and antibacterial properties of acrylic bone cements
(2015-09-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Uppsala universitetAcrylic bone cements have an elastic modulus several times higher than the surrounding trabecular bone. This has been hypothesized to contribute to certain clinical complications. There are indications that the addition ...
