In the present work a new autocatalytic deposition methodology was developed and used to coat metal implants. The developed coating methodology uses a deposition route that is totally ``electroless'', i.e., does not require ...

Bioglass 45S5 is considering as the most biocompatible ceramic material in the bone regeneration field, due to of its bioactivity, osteoconductivity and even osteoinductivity. In the present thesis porous glass-ceramics ...

Tissue engineering constitutes an alternative for the treatment of degenerative bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis through the design of temporary implants based on biocompatible 3D scaffolds capable of ...

In recent years have sought new alternatives for energy production due to depletion of nonrenewable natural resources, some devices that have been found are fuel cells solid oxide (SOFC-solid oxide fuel cell) with electrolyte ...

Alginate is a natural polysaccharide of great interest due to its favorable biocompatibility and degradability conditions under normal physiological conditions of pH=7.4 and a temperature of 37°C. Due to this quality, it ...

This project aims to produce 45S5 bioactive glass foams, (45% SiO2 - 24.5% CaO - 24.5% Na2O - 6% P2O5) , varying the initial composition: foaming / binder / bioglass, through a novel process of powder technology and polymer ...

Due to the environmental problems caused by the irrational use of fossil fuels and the burning of coal, the employment of green energies has become a necessity. One example are the solid oxides fuel cells (SOFC), with ...

Bioactive glasses have generated great interest because of its excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity. 45S5 glass (composition 45SiO 2 2 O-24.5CaO -24.5Na-6P 2 O 5 wt%) is the material used in the system of bioactive ...

Cubic fluorite-type oxides such as ceria doped with heterovalents cations (such as the rare earth ions), have been considered as one of the most promising materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and optical materials. ...

The pirocloros have vacancies in their crystal lattice as a feature intrinsic structural and thus exhibit a wide range of ionic conductivities and electronic and therefore many interesting applications. Experimenting with ...
