Bone regeneration by tuning the drug release from the calcium phosphate scaffolds
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-11-10)
Doctoral thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: Universität des SaarlandesBone is among the most transplanted tissues for regeneration of bone defects, caused by trauma, age-related bone loss or bone infections. Due to their similar characteristics to the mineral phase of bone, calcium phosphates ... -
Investigation of pattern transfer from Direct Laser Interference Patterned steel surfaces to Poly-L-Lactic Acid films
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2023-10-31)
Master thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: Universität des SaarlandesPeriodic surfaces have been shown to promote stent cell migration and proliferation and avoid platelet adhesion. Surfaces patterned with direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) have been investigated for many metallic ... -

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-21)
Doctoral thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: Universität des SaarlandesThe present dissertation is an in-depth investigation from the macro to atomic scale of industrial wear-resistant CVD hard coatings deposited on cemented carbides for cutting tool applications. Micro-compression tests at ... -
Novel functionalized and patterned surfaces for cardiovascular applications
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-11-10)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessNowadays, cardiovascular diseases are mainly treated by implantation of a metallic or polymeric mesh, called stent, which maintains the artery widely open. This technique shows very good clinical results, however, it exists ...
