The roughness of material surfaces is of greatest relevance for applications. These include
wear, friction, fatigue, cytocompatibility, or corrosion resistance. Today's descriptors of the …

This work presents a numerical-experimental framework for assessment of stiffness of
nanofibres in a fibrous hydrogel–bacterial cellulose (BC) hydrogel–based on a combination …

The response of fibrous materials to complex mechanical, hygroscopic and thermal loadings
is a relevant research question in many engineering fields. In the literature, the behaviour of …

In this present study, we propose a method for exposing biological cells to mechanical
vibration. The motive for our research was to design a bioreactor prototype in which in-depth …

As thermoelectric devices begin to make their way into commercial applications, the
emphasis is put on decreasing the thermal conductivity. In this purely theoretical study, finite …

Motive Metallic fibre networks and their mechanical behaviour are only insufficiently
understood. In this particular field of research, the use of nano-CT scans offers advanced …

This study discusses the manufacture of hierarchical composite membranes via the
combination of electrospinning and vapour-induced phase separation (VIPS). The …

We investigate the power densities which are obtainable locally in a vibration bioreactor.
These reactor systems are of great relevance for research about oncological or antibacterial …

The development of treatment strategies for improving secondary stability at the bone-
implant interface is a challenge. Porous implants are one solution for improving long-term …

Fibre networks combined with a matrix material in their void phase make the design of novel
and smart composite materials possible. Their application is of great interest in the field of …
