Yang, J., Motlagh, D., Allen, J., Webb, A., Kibbe, M., Aalami, O., . . . Ameer, G. (2006). Modulating expanded polytetrafluoroethylene vascular graft host response via citric acid-based biodegradable elastomers. Advanced Materials, 18(12), 1493-1498. doi:10.1002/adma.200600230
Abstract: A biodegradable polyester elastomer, poly (1, 8‐octanediol citrate)(POC), is used to modify the lumen of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts via a spin‐shearing method followed by interfacial in situ polycondensation. We demonstrate successful surface modification of ePTFE grafts without affecting graft... Read More

Henderson, H. B., Ramaswamy, V., Wilson-Heid, A. E., Kesler, M. S., Allen, J. B., & Manuel, M. V. (2018). Mechanical and degradation property improvement in a biocompatible Mg-Ca-Sr alloy by thermomechanical processing. Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 80, 285-292. doi:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmbbm.2018.02.001
Abstract: Magnesium-based alloys have attracted interest as a potential material to comprise biomedical implants that are simultaneously high-strength and temporary, able to provide stabilization before degrading safely and able to be excreted by the human body. Many alloy systems have been... Read More
