Moglia, Robert Scott (2014-03-28)Each year, millions of patients undergo reconstructive surgery to treat injuries caused by trauma, deformities, or tumor resection. Repair of these defects often requires the use of tissue grafts to promote healing. Current ...
-
Hahn, Edward (2010-07-14)Shape memory polymer foams may be used to treat vascular aneurysms through thermal actuation of the foam from a compacted to an expanded configuration within the aneurysm structure, thereby alleviating blood pressure on ...
-
Dempsey, David Kandell (2013-12-05)Current synthetic alternatives to autologous grafts have often failed in small diameter applications (<6 mm) due to their thrombogenicity and compliance mismatch of native vasculature. No known synthetic material is capable ...
-
Robinson, Jennifer Lindsey (2014-08-25)Injectable bone grafts are space-filling materials that integrate with native bone to repair large defects from congenital deformities, trauma, and tumor resection. However, current injectable bone grafts limit healing due ...
-
Harmon, Garrett James (2015-09-25)A biocompatible shape memory polyurethane foam device has been developed as a treatment for neurovascular aneurysm occlusion. Polyurethanes are extensively utilized in biomaterials due to their biocompatibility and easily ...
-
Sears, Nicholas Allen (2017-06-06)Tissue grafts are often crucial in restoring function and promoting healing after traumatic injury. Many synthetic materials have been developed, but these often suffer from inadequate tissue integration, limited ...
-
Diguette, Katelin (2015-10-02)The objectives for the current in vitro experiments are to perform verification tests that demonstrate the safety and feasibility of a proposed vascular occlusion plugs (VOPs) and the validity of the device design criteria. ...

Zhang, Dawei (2013-04-16)The ultimate goal of this research was to develop a “self-fitting” shape memory polymer (SMP) scaffold for the repair of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bone defects. CMF defects may be caused by trauma, tumor removal or congenital ...
-
Javed, Mahjabeen (2023-08-02)Liquid crystal elastomers are a class of soft, mechanically active materials, capable of large, reversible, and non-linear deformations in response to environmental triggers that induce reversible changes in order. As such, ...

Lacroix, Daniel Edward (2012-07-16)Blood is a complex mixture of formed cellular elements, proteins, and ions dissolved in a solution. It is a difficult fluid to model because it is a shear-thinning, viscoelastic fluid that stress- relaxes. In this study, ...
