Determination of the viscoelastic properties of hydrogels based on polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-DA) and human articular cartilage
In this work, a systematic study of the viscoelastic properties of hydrogels based on polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-DA) is presented. In addition to artificial PEG-DA-based hydrogels, natural hydrogels in the form of human articular cartilage were examined. Specimens were (unconfined) compression tested under static and dynamic load. Besides this, instrumented indentation tests with diffe...
متن کاملA Rheological Study of Biodegradable Injectable PEGMC/HA Composite Scaffolds.
Injectable biodegradable hydrogels, which can be delivered in a minimally invasive manner and formed in situ, have found a number of applications in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, such as drug delivery and tissue engineering. We have recently developed an in situ crosslinkable citric acid-based biodegradable poly (ethylene glycol) maleate citrate (PEGMC)/hydroxyapatite (HA) composi...
متن کاملMechanical, Rheological, and Bioactivity Properties of Ultra High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Bioactive Composites Containing Polyethylene Glycol and Hydroxyapatite
Ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene/high-density polyethylene (UHMWPE/HDPE) blends prepared using polyethylene glycol PEG as the processing aid and hydroxyapatite (HA) as the reinforcing filler were found to be highly processable using conventional melt blending technique. It was demonstrated that PEG reduced the melt viscosity of UHMWPE/HDPE blend significantly, thus improving the extrudab...
متن کاملStructural, mechanical and osmotic properties of injectable hyaluronan-based composite hydrogels.
The osmotic and scattering properties of hyaluronan-based composite hydrogels composed of stiff biopolymer chains (carboxymethylated thiolated hyaluronan (CMHA-S)) crosslinked by a flexible polymer (polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA)) are investigated and analyzed in terms of the scaling theory. The total pre-gel polymer weight concentration is varied between 0.5 wt.% and 3.2 wt.%, while th...
متن کاملMechanical and rheological properties of carbon nanotube-reinforced polyethylene composites
This paper investigates some mechanical and rheological properties of low density polyethylene (LDPE) composites reinforced by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). It was found that the Young’s modulus and tensile strength of the composites can increase by 89% and 56%, respectively, when the nanotube loading reaches 10 wt%. The curving and coiling of MWNTs play an important role in the enhanc...
