In Vivo Ultrasonic Detection of Polyurea Crosslinked Silica Aerogel Implants
BACKGROUND Polyurea crosslinked silica aerogels are highly porous, lightweight, and mechanically strong materials with great potential for in vivo applications. Recent in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated the biocompatibility of this type of aerogel. The highly porous nature of aerogels allows for exceptional thermal, electric, and acoustic insulating capabilities that can be taken ad...
متن کاملHistological Evaluation of the Biocompatibility of Polyurea Crosslinked Silica Aerogel Implants in a Rat Model: A Pilot Study
BACKGROUND Aerogels are a versatile group of nanostructured/nanoporous materials with physical and chemical properties that can be adjusted to suit the application of interest. In terms of biomedical applications, aerogels are particularly suitable for implants such as membranes, tissue growth scaffolds, and nerve regeneration and guidance inserts. The mesoporous nature of aerogels can also be ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Polyurea-Crosslinked Silica Aerogels as a Neuronal Scaffold: A Pilot Study
BACKGROUND Polymer crosslinked aerogels are an attractive class of materials for future implant applications particularly as a biomaterial for the support of nerve growth. The low density and nano-porous structure of this material combined with large surface area, high mechanical strength, and tunable surface properties, make aerogels materials with a high potential in aiding repair of injuries...
متن کاملDynamic mechanical and ultrasonic properties of polyurea
Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and ultrasonic measurements were carried out to study the temperature and frequency dependences of viscoelastic properties of polyurea. Master curves of Young’s storage and loss moduli were developed from the DMA data. Relaxation spectra were subsequently calculated by means of two approximate models, and the apparent activation energy of molecular rearrangemen...
متن کاملStudy on diffusion coefficient of benzene and ethyl benzene vapours in nanoporous silica aerogel and silica aerogel-activated carbon composites
In this study, nanoporous silica aerogel and silica aerogel-activated carbon composites have been synthesized using a water glass precursor by cost effective ambient pressure drying method. Equilibrium and kinetics of benzene and ethyl benzene adsorption on silica aerogel and its composites have been measured in a batch mode at tree weights of adsorbent. For the first time, the experimental dat...
