Ignacio García-Casas, Antonio Montes, Diego Valor, Clara Pereyra and Enrique J. Martínez de  la Ossa Foamed polycaprolactone impregnated with quercetin was carried out with batch foaming technique using supercritical CO2. Experimental design was developed to study the influence of pressure (15-30 MPa), temperature (308-333 K) and depressurization rate (0.1-20) on the foam structure, melting temperature […]

Diego Valor, Antonio Montes , Marilia Monteiro , Ignacio García-Casas, Clara Pereyra  and Enrique Martínez de la Ossa Poly(D,L,-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) foam samples impregnated with rutin were successfully produced by supercritical foaming processes. A number of parameters such as pressure (80–200 bar), temperature (35–55 C), depressurization rate (5–100 bar/min), ratio lactide:glycolide of the poly(D,L,-lactide-co-glycolide) (50:50 and […]

Antonio Montes , Diego Valor , Laura Delgado, Clara Pereyra and Enrique Martínez de la Ossa Conjugated polymers are biomaterials with high conductivity characteristics because of their molecular composition. However, they are too rigid and brittle for medical applications and therefore need to be combined with non-conductive polymers to overcome or lessen these drawbacks. This […]

Diego Valor , Antonio Montes , Antonio Cózar, Clara Pereyra and Enrique Martínez de la Ossa Scaffolds are advanced devices employed in tissue engineering, as they are intended to mimic the characteristics of extracellular matrices. In this respect, conjugated materials are gaining relevance in the manufacturing of the foams used for therapeutic scaffolds, since they […]
