It is disclosed a biocomposite of hydroxyapatite on graphene oxide sheets and its use for bone tissue engineering applications, such as bone repair, bone augmentation, as well as coating of biomedical implants. Processes for preparing said biocomposites are also described.

Biocomposite of biomineralized graphene oxide and its use for bone tissue engineering

The invention relates to a method for the preparation of a polymer hydrogel, comprising cross-linking a precursor comprising a hydrophilic polymer optionally in combination with a second hydrophilic polymer, using a polycarboxylic acid as the cross-linking agent. The invention further concerns the polymer hydrogel obtainable by the method of the invention and the use thereof in a number of different applications.

Polymer hydrogels and methods of preparation thereof

Herein described is a biocompatible material comprising a polymer matrix based on hyaluronic acid derivatives and poly-&#x3b5;Caprolactone, the process for preparing this material, a prosthetic device constituted by this biocompatible material and a reinforcing material, the process for preparing the prosthetic device, and its use for the partial or total replacement of meniscus, and regeneration of the meniscal fibrocartilage.

Biocompatible material and prosthetic device made thereof for the replacement, repair and regeneration of meniscus

The invention relates to a new injectable composite material suitable for use as a bone substitute. The composite material according to the invention comprises a reactive ceramic phase based on tricalcium phosphate and an organic phase comprising a polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel. By varying the concentration of the two phases it is possible to modulate the mechanical and injectability properties of the material.
