Development of Parametric Voronoi-Based Scaffolds for Trabecular Bone Tissue Replacement Using Additive Manufacturing

Received: 07 February 2025;  Published: 28 May 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpm.2502010

Abstract

Tissue engineering is a technique for regenerating living tissue using portions of the patient's tissue, which are dissociated into cells and cultured on biological or synthetic supports before being transferred to the patient. In this context, the present study seeks to develop implant models (scaffolds) for replacing trabecular bone tissue, with requirements such as porosity and interconnected pores. All design development was aimed at the manufacturing of scaffolds using the material extrusion additive manufactu [...]

Quantitative Evaluations on Harmonic and Anharmonic Lattice Thermal Capacity of Polymers

Received: 28 December 2024;  Published: 22 May 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpm.2502008

Abstract

So-called ‘Generalized Skettrup Model(s)’ (GSMs) of different (1D, 2D, 3D) spatial dimensionalities are used at simulations on temperature-dependent harmonic and anharmonic fractions of lattice thermal capacity of polyethylene and polypropylene with crystalline and/or amorphous atomic structures of limited spatial extents. Basic equations of the GSM slot in explicitly quantization effects of the single-particle and many-particle energy levels of spatially confined phonons. The harmonic lattice thermal capacity of 1 [...]

Graphene Quantum Dots from Synthesis to Innovation for Advanced Optics and Bio-Optics Trends

Received: 24 November 2024;  Published: 18 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpm.2501007

Abstract

The generation of non-classical light with improved performances within tiny sizes, intervals of lengths, and diameters is still a challenge. The generation of variable wavelengths associated with different frequencies of energy modes produced from new sources of emitters within confined scales from the Quantum to Nano-and Micro-scales are of high impact. It is noted here that the concept of the generation of non-classical light related to electronics and photonics interactions with different topological matter con [...]

Valorization of Agroindustrial Waste as Biosorbent of Lead (II) in Solution and its Reuse in the Manufacture of Building Bricks

Received: 24 October 2024;  Published: 10 January 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpm.2501002

Abstract

Lead is a non-biodegradable toxic heavy metal. Biosorption process is an attractive technique to remediate lead-contaminated environments because it is simple, effective and low-cost. In addition, rice husk constitutes a highly available residual biomass that could be used as bioadsorbent. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the biosorption of lead on natural and chemically treated rice husk and evaluate the incorporation of the residue (biomass-contaminant) into ceramic matrices to immobilize the removed le [...]
