Silicon Nitride Coatings for Improved Implant Function (LifeLongJoints)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,
Articulating joint replacements represent a medical market exceeding €14 billion p.a. that is expected to rise as demographics reflect an ageing population. However, faster growth has been seen in the revision market, where prosthetic joints are replaced, than in primary interventions. The major cause of these revisions is that all joint replacements are prone to wear leading to loss of implant fu ...

POLYmer microACTuators for biomedicine (POLYACT)
Date du début: 1 mai 2014, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,
Within the areas of cell biology, biomedicine and minimal invasive surgery, there is a need for soft, flexible and dextrous biocompatible manipulators for handling biological objects, such as single cells and tissues. Present day technologies are based on simple suction using micropipettes for grasping objects. The micropipettes lack the possibility of accurate force control, nor are they soft and ...

Towards Long-lived and Efficient Organic Light-emitting Electrochemical Cells (LEOLEC)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 12 janv. 2015,
"Conventional incandescent lamps are being phased out in Europe due to their low energy efficiency. Organic light-emitting electrochemical cells (OLECs) are potentially a promising alternative to them. This proposal aims to tackle two major challenges currently limiting practical applications of OLECs, i.e. their relatively short lifetime and low efficiency. The short lifetime of OLECs is due to t ...
