Technology Seminar on custom-made specialty polymers
maart 26, 2024
Hans van der Aa, COO of PolyVation, gave a technology seminar in which he presented the capabilities of PolyVation and the various applications of their custom-made polymers. Depending on the need of the customer, the properties of the polymers can be tweaked to control for instance the physical and biological properties of the materials. Application areas of these polymers include medical devices, tissue engineering and drug delivery.
Within LymphChip, the PolyVation polymers are used for the biofabrication of biomimetic 3D microscaffolds for advanced skin‑ and gut-on-chip models with integrated lymphatics and immune cells.
