Freeze-Casting of Porous Biomaterials: Structure, Properties and Opportunities
The freeze-casting of porous materials has received a great deal of attention during the past few years. This simple process, where a material suspension is simply frozen and then sublimated, provides materials with unique porous architectures, where the porosity is almost a direct replica of the frozen solvent crystals. This review focuses on the recent results on the process and the derived p...
متن کاملFabrication of Chitosan Silk-based Tracheal Scaffold Using Freeze-Casting Method
Background: Since the treatments of long tracheal lesions are associated with some limitations, tissue engineered trachea is considered as an alternative option. This study aimed at preparing a composite scaffold, based on natural and synthetic materials for tracheal tissue engineering. Methods: Nine chitosan silk-based scaffolds were fabricated using three freezing rates (0.5, 1, and 2°C/m...
متن کاملStents for malignant ureteral obstruction
Malignant ureteral obstruction can result in renal dysfunction or urosepsis and can limit the physician's ability to treat the underlying cancer. There are multiple methods to deal with ureteral obstruction including regular polymeric double J stents (DJS), tandem DJS, nephrostomy tubes, and then more specialized products such as solid metal stents (e.g., Resonance Stent, Cook Medical) and poly...
متن کاملBiomaterials by freeze casting.
The functional requirements for synthetic tissue substitutes appear deceptively simple: they should provide a porous matrix with interconnecting porosity and surface properties that promote rapid tissue ingrowth; at the same time, they should possess sufficient stiffness, strength and toughness to prevent crushing under physiological loads until full integration and healing are reached. Despite...
متن کاملPreparation of aliened porous Ni-GDC nano composite by freeze-casting process
This current study reports preparation of Nickel-Gadolinium doped Ceria (Ni-GDC) composite via controlled unidirectional freeze casting of aqueous-based GDC slurry completed with nickel infiltrated into the porous GDC samples. Gadolinium doped ceria powder prepared by gel-combustion synthesis method. The oxide powder was confirmed to be the fluorite-structured of Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 solid solution b...
