Development of a solution-based process for hydroxyapatite and functionalised hydroxyapatite
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2024)Hydroxyapatite coatings have long been established as a means of improving the osteointegration of metallic orthopaedic implants. Nonetheless there are both technical and commercial drawbacks associated with industrial ... -
Development of Stimuli-responsive Materials for Direct Laser Writing for the Realisation of Microactuators
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2024)Two-photon polymerisation (2PP) is a laser-based fabrication technology which can be used to fabricate complex 3D microstructures with feature sizes ~100 nm. This thesis assesses the state of the art in 2PP and presents ... -
