Drug-Free Antibacterial Hybrid Biopolymers for Medical Applications (HyMedPoly)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

There is a general consensus that biomedical polymers of natural and synthetic origin should and will play a very important role in the development of new therapeutic strategies to treat diseases. Due to resistance of bacteria to drugs, infection has become one of the toughest problems in the medical world as there are hardly any effective antibiotics left in the fight against many pathogens. This ...

Bioactive materials for enhanced preventative and restorative dental solutions (BIODENSOL)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

...PhD studies will represent a big challenge to the students selected, since knowledge of both materials chemistry and biology will be required. It is proposed that the students will spend 18 months at LUCIDEON developing novel powder materials in three generic areas:bioglass, sol-gel, and ceramics. In all cases, compositions will be based on calcium and phosphate, since it is release of these eleme ...

Reinforced Bioresorbable Biomaterials for Therapeutic Drug Eluting Stents (REBIOSTENT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Active therapeutic biodegradable and biocompatible materials are highly in demand. These are required for the production of medicinal products in a variety of areas including implant technology, tissue engineering, drug delivery and wound healing. Within implant technology such biomaterials can be used for dental, bone and cardiovascular implants. Tailored mechanical properties, biocompatibility a ...

BIOCERAMICS FOR BONE REPAIR (BIOBONE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

"There is a general consensus that ceramic based materials should play a very important role in the development of new therapies to treat and substitute damaged or diseased bone. Due to their resistance to wear and corrosion, bioinert technical ceramics are the ideal candidates to replace metallic alloys in a new generation of small, durable and safe orthopaedic implants. On the other hand, osteoc ...

Review and improvement of testing Standards for Refractory products (RESTAR)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Refractories are materials essential for all highly industrialised processes which are performed at elevated temperatures e. g. iron- and steelmaking, cement production, glass, ceramics, nonferrous metals, power production and waste incineration Refractories have high economical importance and serve a key function for the industry in Europe. In Europe, most of refractory manufactur are SMEs.The te ...

Intelligent Manufacture from Powder by Advanced Laser Assimilation (IMPALA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

IMPALA will develop flexible and efficient Rapid Manufacturing processes of custom parts or small batches. SME end users will be at the forefront of this project, helping them increase their annual turnover by 20-50%, by producing a diversified range of high value components. Currently, manufacturing custom products such as artificial teeth can take several days or weeks and is very expensive. Thi ...

Development of a Non-destructive Sensor to Determine Density Gradient of Ceramic Tiles During Pressing (Novapress)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

The occurence of density gradients in ceramic tiles during pressing is believed to be the main cause of defects during processing. Problems such as differential shrinkage and warpage typically arise leading to losses or down-grading of final products. Density gradients are caused by poor die design, bad practice and/or unsuitable particulate materials, with the resultant poor flow ability impactin ...
