Proteome analysis of human serum proteins adsorbed onto different titanium surfaces used in dental implants
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Titanium dental implants are commonly used due to their biocompatibility and biochemical properties; blasted acid-etched Ti is used more frequently than smooth Ti surfaces. In this study, physico-chemical characterisation ...
Co-design of jump estimators and transmission policies for wireless multi-hop networks with fading channels
(Elsevier, 2017)
We study transmission power budget minimization of battery-powered nodes in a remote state estimation problem over multi-hop wireless networks. Communication links between nodes are subject to fading, thereby generating ...
A multilevel modular dc-dc converter topology
(Elsevier, 2017)
A multilevel modular DC-DC power conversion topology based on cascaded H-Bridge
converters in a double П configuration is presented. The topology is intended to interconnect
large power DC networks. A two level control ...
Observer-based controllers with data dropout rate adaptation
(Wiley, 2017-02)
In this work, we address the observer-based control problem for networked control systems with an unknown time-varying packet arrival rate (PAR) and under root mean square-norm bounded disturbances. We assume packetized ...
Measurement of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity using a thermoelectric module
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017)
A proof of concept of using a thermoelectric module to measure both thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of bulk
disc samples at room temperature is demonstrated. The method involves the calculation of the integral ...
Assessing the thermoformability of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3- hydroxyvalerate)/poly(acid lactic) blends compatibilized with diisocyanates
(Elsevier, 2017)
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a renewable alternative to conventional barrier
packaging polymers due to its thermoplastic properties, biodegradability and gas barrier performance
but its potential ...
On the Use of the Electrospinning Coating Technique to Produce Antimicrobial Polyhydroxyalkanoate Materials Containing In Situ-Stabilized Silver Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2017)
Electro-hydrodynamic processing, comprising electrospraying and electrospinning
techniques, has emerged as a versatile technology to produce nanostructured fiber-based and
particle-based materials. In this work, an ...
Post-processing optimization of electrospun submicron poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) fibers to obtain continuous films of interest in food packaging applications
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-08-08)
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are one of the most researched family of biodegradable polymers based on renewable materials due to their thermoplastic nature and moisture resistance. The present study was targeted to investigate ...
Antimicrobial nanocomposites and electrospun coatings based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) and copper oxide nanoparticles for active packaging and coating applications
(Wiley, 2017-08)
Active biodegradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) melt mixed nanocomposites and bilayer structures containing copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were developed and characterized. The bilayer structures ...
Osteointegración de implantes de titanio con superficies activas. Un estudio proteómico
(Ediciones Peldaño, 2017-12)
Titanium is a biomaterial largely used on dental implant
manufacturing. However, as a consequence of its
intrinsically low bioactivity, the development of distinct
superficial treatments in order to enhance its ...
