Development of a Novel Porogen Insertion System Used in Solid Freeform Fabrication of Porous Biodegradable Scaffolds with Heterogeneous Internal Architectures
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-22)This thesis is concerned with the design of a novel system for inserting porogen particles within internal structure of the bone scaffold. The proposed system would be integrated with a 3D printing machine to create ... -
Enhancing Mechanical Strength of Electrospun Nanofibers by Thermal Crosslinking and Coaxial Electrospinning
(University of Waterloo, 2023-06-14)Electrospinning of nonwoven nanofibrous mats has received significant attention in recent years due to the high versatility and porosity of electrospun mats. Specifically, considerable interest has developed in using ... -
Powder Spray Laser Additive Manufacturing of Zirconium
(University of Waterloo, 2016-11-29)Zirconium is commonly used in nuclear, chemical processing and biomedical applications due to its low thermal neutron cross-section, relatively high corrosion resistance and great biocompatibility. Although it is an ideal ... -
Solid Freeform Fabrication of Porous Calcium Polyphosphate Structures for Use in Orthopaedics
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-02)The focus of this dissertation is on the development of a solid freeform fabrication (SFF) process for the design and manufacture of porous biodegradable orthopaedic implants from calcium polyphosphate (CPP). Porous CPP ...
