Tissue engineering (TE) requires a mechanically stable, biocompatible, and biodegradable scaffold that serves as a foundation for cell adhesion, and cell specific differentiation. Furthermore, the scaffold should be suitable to be in reconstructive surgery. Therefore, fabricated scaffold should mimic the biomechanical properties of the organ or tissue to be employed. To meet such requirements, development of an appropriate 3D scaffold for tissue reconstruction remains a great challenge in various TE fields. In this work, TE scaffolds were manufactured via an in-house built desktop robot based...

The health care system in Malaysia has undergone a fundamental transformation over the last two decades. This book examines this transformation and explores the pressing issues it faces today. It includes coverage of:

This book provides an integrated biblical, theological, and educational rationale to in- form theological educators of the place of hospitality in enhancing their quest to...

Admired for their extraordinary stimuli-sensitive behavior and shape-changing capabilities, shape-memory polymers (SMPs) and multifunctional composites are among the most important smart materials. They continue to be widely applied in many diverse fields to create things such as self-deployable spacecraft structures, morphing structures, SMP foams, smart textiles, and intelligent medical devices.

Written by renowned authors, Shape-Memory Polymers and Multifunctional Composites is a broad overview of the systematic progress associated with this emerging class of...
