3D printing is a rapid prototyping, basically a manufacturing technique that includes objects formation by depositing or fusing materials such as liquids, plastic, powders, metal, ceramics, or even living cells in layers to produce a 3D object. 3D printing consists of transferring a special ...
Company Profile (3D Labor TU-Berlin) For ten years the 3D laboratory at the Technical University of Berlin has been developing applications in the fields of 3D scan, 3D print and 3D immersive (interactive) projection. The applications originate in many application fields like; mathematics and natu...
For these reasons, metal oxide nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest in the field of biomedical therapeutics, bio-imaging and biosensing. This chapter discusses properties and biomedical applications of selected nanometer size metal oxides. These materials have become important components in ...
The use of 3D printing in surgery, pharmaceutical industry, disease modelling, development of customized implants and prostheses, organ printing, vet medicine and tissue engineering applications have been explained and this new method compared with traditional methods that used in the biomedical field. ...
Recently, atomic layer deposition (ALD) of ultrathin metal oxide coatings has been investigated for such applications. ALD is a surface reaction limited method of depositing conformal, pinhole-free, uniform thickness ultrathin films onto planar or three-dimensional structures. The development of ultra...
The strong optical absorption and scattering of noble metal nanoparticles is due to an effect called localized surface plasmon resonance, which enables the development of novel biomedical applications. The resonant extinction, which can be tuned to the near-infrared, allows the nanoparticles to act as...
The synthesis and functionalization of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for biomedical applications in the delivery of cargos (drugs, nucleic acids, proteins, and dyes) for cancer therapy, bioimaging, antimicrobial, biosensing, and biocatalysis are overviewed, and the development prospects and challenges...
The interventional treatment of limb-threatening ischemia calls for a medical stent. Herein, a long and biodegradable stent appropriate for below-the-knee artery is developed based on a metal-polymer composite material, where a magnetic levitation is employed to achieve a homogeneous coating. Wanqian...
The chapter surveys the work on a whole new generation of biocompatible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), also called bioMOFs, for which the building blocks (organic ligands) are chosen according to their intrinsic biological properties and therapeutic action. The chapter provides exhaustive information...
Metal-Organic Frameworks for Biomedical Applications is a comprehensive, authoritative reference that offers a substantial and complete treatment of published results that have yet to be critically reviewed. It offers a summary of current research and provides in-depth understanding of the role of metal...
