The Polymer Chemistry and Biomaterials group (PBM group, Ghent, Belgium) has been developing novel, photocrosslinkable poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), so-called Acrylate-endcapped Urethane-based PCL (AUP-PCL). AUP-PCLs are a class of biocompatible polymers that degrade thereby forming caproic acid, which can be readily resorbed. Via alteration of the crosslink...
The group of Mechanics of Materials and Structures of Ghent University is involved in WP1 and WP4 of the 3DMED project. Our main responsibility is to develop FE models for trunk orthotics, in particular for scoliosis braces. Scoliosis brace are orthotic devices used to stabilize...
