Nanostructured Polymer Composites for Orthopaedic Applications
Monday, 11/23/2009 12:00 PM-1:00 PM
Gateway Park
Jie Song, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Orthopedics and Cell Biology

Regenerative medicine aspires to reduce reliance on or overcome limitations associated with donor tissue-mediated repair. A major roadblock in translating scaffold-based regenerative medicine into clinical practice is the lack of materials combining tissue-like mechanical and biochemical properties with desirable surgical handling characteristics to enable their safe delivery and integration with target tissue. Nanostructured material design platform provides a unique opportunity to integrate physical, biochemical, and mechanical signals for complex regenerative medicine applications. In this talk, I will 1) discuss the design and application of an elastomeric osteoconductive nanocomposite for the repair of volumetric bone loss, and 2) highlight a nanoparticle-mediated strategy towards high-performance shape memory polymer implants.
