Elastomeric degradable biomaterials by photopolymerization-based CAD-CAM for vascular tissue engineering

Abstract: A predominant portion of mortalities in industrial countries can be attributed to diseases of the cardiovascular system. In the last decades great efforts have been undertaken to develop materials for artificial vascular constructs. However, bio-inert materials like ePTFE or PET fail as material for narrow blood vessel replacements (coronary bypasses). Therefore, we aim to design new biocompatible materials to overcome this. In this paper we investigate the use of photoelastomers for artificial vascular constr… Show more

“…The most common photopolymerization monomers are cyclic or linear epoxides (cationic) and acrylate-based monomers (radical) [1]. Acrylate-based photopolymers are important materials for cardiovascular applications [7], for in vivo drug delivery [8], and for minimally invasive procedures. Dimethacrylate-based resins have many applications in restorative dentistry, being used as adhesives and pit-and-fissure sealants, can be combined with silanecoated glass fillers to render the most widely used esthetic direct restorative material, and can be used as cementation agents and veneering materials [9][10][11][12].…”

“…For example, lightweight balsa has a stiffness-toweight ratio comparable to that of steel along the axial loading direction (5). Inspired by these naturally occurring cellular structures, manmade lightweight cellular materials fabricated from a wide array of solid constituents are desirable for a broad range of applications including structural components (6, 7), energy absorption (8, 9), heat exchange (10, 11), catalyst supports (12), filtration (13,14), and biomaterials (15,16). However, the degradation in mechanical properties can be drastic as density decreases (17,18).…”
