Hybrid hydrogels for load-bearing implants

Load-bearing tissues such as articular cartilage or meniscus are not infallible. They might fail due to trauma, over-solicitations, or diseases, which could subsequently alter the mobility of the patient. Repairing these damaged tissues in a minimally inva ...

An Intrinsically-Adhesive Family of Injectable and Photo-Curable Hydrogels with Functional Physicochemical Performance for Regenerative Medicine

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Christophe Moser, Céline Samira Wyss, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Peyman Karami

Attaching hydrogels to soft internal tissues is crucial for the development of various biomedical devices. Tough sticky hydrogel patches present high adhesion, yet with lack of injectability and the need for treatment of contacting surface. On the contrary ...

Silk granular hydrogels self-reinforced with regenerated silk fibroin fibers

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Céline Samira Wyss, Peyman Karami, Adrien Julien Demongeot

Granular hydrogels with high stability, strength, and toughness are laborious to develop. Post-curing is often employed to bind microgels chemically and enhance mechanical properties. Here a unique strategy was investigated to maintain microgels together w ...

Hybrid granular hydrogels: combining composites and microgels for extended ranges of material properties

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Céline Samira Wyss, Peyman Karami

Developing hydrogels with optimal properties for specific applications is challenging as most of these properties, such as toughness, stiffness, swelling or deformability, are interrelated. The improvement of one property usually comes at the cost of anoth ...

Cross-linkable polymer, hydrogel, and method of preparation thereof

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Christophe Moser, Céline Samira Wyss, Peyman Karami

The invention relates to a cross-linkable polymer comprising a base polymer comprising functional groups at least some of which have been reacted with a first organic molecule comprising a cross-linkable unit and with a second organic molecule capable of b ...

Composite Double-Network Hydrogels To Improve Adhesion on Biological Surfaces

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi, Christophe Moser, Céline Samira Wyss, Martin Broome, Peyman Karami

Despite the development of hydrogels with high mechanical properties, insufficient adhesion between these materials and biological surfaces significantly limits their use in the biomedical field. By controlling toughening processes, we designed a composite ...

Tailoring swelling to control softening mechanisms during cyclic loading of PEG/cellulose hydrogel composites

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Azadeh Khoushabi, Céline Samira Wyss, Baris Çaglar

One of the novel approaches for discogenic lower back pain treatment is to permanently replace the core of the intervertebral disc, so-called Nucleus Pulposus, through minimally invasive surgery. Recently, we have proposed Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Dimethacryl ...

Cyclic loading of a cellulose/hydrogel composite increases its fracture strength

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Céline Samira Wyss, Peyman Karami

The fracture properties of hydrogels which present similar characteristics to the Mullins effect is expected to decrease under repeated cyclic loading. Therefore, we assessed how cyclic loading affects the fracture behavior, the distribution of strain fiel ...
