Journal ArticleDOI
Solvent-free fabrication of micro-porous polyurethane amide and polyurethane-urea scaffolds for repair and replacement of the knee-joint meniscus.
TL;DR: New porous polyurethane urea and polyurethalane amide scaffolds for meniscal reconstruction have been developed in a solvent-free process by adjusting the reaction conditions, and materials in which macropores are interconnected by micropores can be obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
High molecular weight polyurethanes and a polyurethane urea based on 1,4-butanediisocyanate
TL;DR: By chain extending with a longer urethane diol block, a processible polymer was obtained with mechanical properties comparable to the polyurethane urea and has been made porous and can be used as a meniscal prosthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new biomedical polyurethane with a high modulus based on 1,4-butanediisocyanate and epsilon-caprolactone.
TL;DR: Porous materials have been obtained in which macropores ranging in size from 150–300 μm are highly interconnected by micropores and appears to be suitable for biomedical applications such as meniscal prostheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the role of aminolysis and transesterification in the synthesis of epsilon-caprolactone and L-lactide based polyurethanes
TL;DR: In this paper, a polyurethane based on a 50/50 copoly(L-lactide/epsilon-caprolactone) prepolymer and butanediisocyanate was made.

Hydrogels and methods for their production
TL;DR: In this article, new hydrogels with improved mechanical properties and methods of their preparation are described. But the present invention relates to new hydrogrammers with improved structural properties and their methods of preparation.
