Production and characterisation of bioresorbable polymers and polymer-glass composites for application in cardiac stents
Bioresorbable polymeric cardiac stents are a promising technology for treating cardiovascular diseases, but current poly-L-lactide (PLLA) stents have been limited by poor mechanical properties and slow degradation. Materials with increased strength and stiffness are needed, to reduce the required …

Controlling the alignment and degradation of 3D printed poly-L-lactic acid for redesigned coronary stents
Cardiac stents are used for treating heart disease, widening the blocked artery to restore normal blood flow. However, most stents are permanent. This posits several problems, including the long-term risk of restenosis and thrombosis. Consequently, significant research is focused on creating …
