Development and Evaluation of Polyvinyl Alcohol-Hydrogels as an Artificial Atrticular Cartilage for Orthopedic Implants
Due to its excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties, various different applications of polyvinyl alcohol-hydrogels (PVA-H) has been attempted in many fields. In the field of orthopedic surgery, we have been engaged for long time in research on the clinical applications of PVA-H as a artificial cartilage, and have performed many basic experiments on the mechanical properties, synthes...
متن کاملDevelopment and Characterization of Novel Freeze-thawed Polyvinyl Alcohol/ Halloysite Hydrogels
The influence of aluminosilicates on the structure and drug release profiles of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) – halloysite (HNT) hydrogels containing acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as a model drug was monitored. The hydrogels were synthesized using a three cycle freeze – thawing procedure and were characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM. The swelling degree and cytotoxicity were also determined. All hydrogels...
متن کاملPolyvinyl alcohol particle superficial morphology.
We appreciated the research by Derdeyn et al (1) from the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology concerning the size and suspension characteristics of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles. We do agree that both size and suspension characteristics of PVA represent relevant parameters affecting the aggregation of particles during injection. In addition to these two variables, we considered further para...

Widespread studies on the biodegradation of plastics have been carried out in order to overcome the environmental problems associated with synthetic plastic waste. Recent work has included studies of the distribution of synthetic polymerdegrading microorganisms in the environment, the isolation of new microorganisms for biodegradation, the discovery of new degradation enzymes, and the cloning o...
متن کاملThe Polyvinyl Alcohol Sponge Model Implantation
Wound healing is a complicated, multistep process involving many cell types, growth factors and compounds(1-3). Because of this complexity, wound healing studies are most comprehensive when carried out in vivo. There are many in vivo models available to study acute wound healing, including incisional, excisional, dead space, and burns. Dead space models are artificial, porous implants which are...
