Abstract: Methods for the engineering and preparation of intervertebral disc repair scaffolds and articulating joint repair scaffolds are disclosed. The methodology utilizes either magnetic resonance images or combined magnetic resonance and computed tomography images as a template for creating either the intervertebral scaffold or the joint repair scaffold (e.g., osteochondral scaffold) with fixation to the underlying bone. The disc scaffold design may include an outer annulus that may contain desired structures and a central nucleus pulposus region that could either contain a designed microstructure or a contained hydrogel. The osteochondral scaffold may include a bone compartment interface with a cartilage compartment. The bone compartment may interface with a cutout portion of the bone through fixation components. Different microstructure designs may be created for the bone and cartilage compartment to represent desired mechanical and mass transport properties. The scaffolds are designed with a microstructure that controls elastic and permeability property distribution within the scaffold.

Title: Environmentally-friendly wet process type hard fiberboard
Inventor: NISHIO TSUTOMU
IPC: D21J1/00
Filed: 2009-11-13
Abstract: A wet process type hard fiberboard is provided that is environmentally- friendly by finding a reinforcing agent that does not result in environmental contamination as the agent takes the place of phenol resin having a significant effect on environmental contamination. This environmentally-friendly wet process type hard fiberboard uses acrylic resin and epoxy resin not containing bisphenol A as reinforcing agents in place of conventional phenol resin. Both reinforcing agents are thermosetting resins, hardly reacting at all at temperatures of 100°C or lower, and reacting rapidly at temperatures above 140°C which results in curing, while in terms of environmental protection, these reinforcing agents are optimally suited for use in wet process type hard fiber boards in which water is used by recycling numerous times, with any of the water used being hardly discharged to the outside.
