3D Bioprinting of Anatomically Accurate Implants for Meniscus Tissue Engineering
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Surgery, 2020)Menisci are soft tissues essential for load bearing and stress distribution in the knee joint. Meniscal injuries are common in all age groups and can lead to degeneration of the joint. While currently available surgical ... -
3D printed microchannel networks to direct vascularisation during endochondral bone repair
(2018)Bone tissue engineering strategies that recapitulate the developmental process of endochondral ossification offer a promising route to bone repair. Clinical translation of such endochondral tissue engineering strategies ... -
3D Printed Sugar-Sensing Hydrogels
(2020)The ability of boronic acids to reversibly bind diols, such as sugars, has been widely studied in recent years. In solution, through the incorporation of additional fluorophores, this boronic acid-sugar interaction can be ... -
Additive Manufacturing of Ti3C2-MXene-Functionalized Conductive Polymer Hydrogels for Electromagnetic-Interference Shielding
(2021)The ongoing miniaturization of devices and development of wireless and implantable technologies demand electromagnetic interference (EMI)shielding materials with customizability. Additive manufacturing of conductive ... -
Analysing the effects of 3D printing defects and surface roughness on the properties of acoustic materials
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2023)The principal aim of the research reported in this thesis was to investigate the influence of additive manufacturing on the acoustic performance of 3D printed periodic materials. First, a benchmark material design was ... -
Aspects of Dose Optimisation and Diagnostic Efficacy Relating to Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
The increasing acceptance of CBCT as a standard form of dental diagnostic imaging is based upon its ability to produce multiplanar cross-sectional (3D) images at a level of resolution that, while not as high as conventional ... -
Biofabrication of multiscale bone extracellular matrix scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
(2019)Interconnected porosity is critical to the design of regenerative scaffolds, as it permits cell migration, vascularisation and diffusion of nutrients and regulatory molecules inside the scaffold. 3D printing is a promising ... -
Design of a Kelvin cell acoustic metamaterial
(2020)Advancements in 3D print technology now allow the printing of structured acoustic absorptive materials at appropriate microscopic scales and sample sizes. Optimisation of parameter sets associated with a Kelvin Cell structure ... -
Fluid Gels: a New Feedstock for High Viscosity Jetting
(2018)Suspensions of gel particles which are pourable or spoonable at room temperature can be created by shearing a gelling biopolymer through its gelation (thermal or ion mediated) rather than allowing quiescent cooling – thus ... -
The influence of additive manufacturing processes on the performance of a periodic acoustic metamaterial
(2019)Advancements in 3D print technology now allow the printing of structured acoustic absorbent materials at the appropriate microscopic scale and sample sizes. The repeatability of the fundamental cell unit of these metamaterials ... -
Integrating finite element modelling and 3D printing to engineer biomimetic polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering
(2019)The suitability of a scaffold for tissue engineering is determined by a number of interrelated factors. The biomaterial should be biocompatible and cell instructive, with a porosity and pore interconnectivity that facilitates ... -
Integrating non-viral gene therapy and 3D bioprinting for bone, cartilage and osteochondral tissue engineering
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2018)The repair of osteochondral defects, affecting both the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone, is key for the effective recovery of joint homeostasis and the prevention of further cartilage degeneration ... -
Optimisation and 3D Printing of Paediatric Stents
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2023)Aortic coarctation is a congenital heart defect that occurs 3 per 10,000 live births with a life expectancy of 35 years if left untreated. Stenting is a common treatment method, but devices are not specifically designed ... -
Stamping of Flexible, Coplanar Micro-Supercapacitors Using MXene Inks
(2018)The fast growth of portable smart electronics and internet of things have greatly stimulated the demand for miniaturized energy storage devices. Micro‐supercapacitors (MSCs), which can provide high power density and a long ... -
Ultra-broadband sound absorption in a compact multi-chamber micro-perforated panel absorber with varying depths
(2024)This study presents an enhanced multi-chamber micro-perforated panel absorber (MC-MPPA) with varying sub-chamber depths, offering ultra-broadband low-frequency sound absorption. Traditional micro-perforated panel absorbers ...
