Development of innovative zirconia implants from novel materials, surface modification to biological responses KU Leuven
Zirconia ceramics are rapidly becoming the material of choice for metal-free dental implants, because of their superior mechanical characteristics, excellent biocompatibility with low bacterial plaque affinity and natural aesthetics. The long-term clinical success of dental implants largely depends on their osseointegration potential, which is highly influenced by surface chemistry and topography. The osseointegration potential of zirconia, ...

Surface modification of plant protein based nanoparticles: a tool to improve their functional properties KU Leuven
Interest in replacing animal by plant proteins in food systems is increasing. For various reasons, such replacement is unfortunately not straightforward. A main hurdle in this regard is the often limited solubility of plant proteins in aqueous media, which notably reduces their applicability in many foods. A possible solution is to produce protein nanoparticles (NPs) that are colloidally stable in aqueous systems. The solubility profile of ...
