Matériaux polymères avec hydrophilie contrôlée. Applications en ingénierie tissulaire du cartilage articulaire

Les maladies ostéoarticulaires représentent environ 10% de l ensemble des pathologies identifiées en France chaque année. Ces maladies inflammatoires et dégénératives des articulations sont pour la plupart consécutives au vieillissement ou à un traumatisme et évoluent vers l usure des cartilages, d où un handicap sévère. Comme aucun traitement ne permet la réparation totale du tissu cartilagineux, la recherche médicale développe des techniques d ingénierie tissulaire. Ces techniques utilisent des substrats polymériques et des cellules souches qui sont contraints de se développer pour former du tissu cartilagineux. Cependant, ces techniques ne peuvent pas encore être utilisées à l échelle d une articulation complète car il n est pas possible de reproduire ex vivo à grande échelle la structure et les propriétés mécaniques et physicochimiques du cartilage articulaire. Dans ce contexte, les travaux de cette thèse ont permis de développer des matériaux polymères capables d être implantés à l échelle macroscopique dans les articulations pathologiques afin de combler l usure des cartilages. Pour se faire, de nouveaux biomatériaux - hydrogels p(HEMA) - ont été obtenus en contrôlant le caractère hydrophile des hydrogels p(HEMA) au cours de leur synthèse chimique en présence de différents co-monomères (acide acrylique, acrylamide, acrylate d'éthylène et acrylate de butyle). Partant de là, les propriétés physicochimiques, mécaniques et tribologiques de ces nouveaux hydrogels ont été optimisées afin d obtenir des propriétés similaires à celles du cartilage articulaire sain. Ensuite, la libération contrôlée de médicaments par ces hydrogels a été étudiée afin de minimiser les risques inflammatoires lors de leur utilisation en ingénierie tissulaire du cartilage articulaire.Osteoarticular diseases re present approximately 10% of all diseases identified in France each year. These inflammatory and degenerative joint disease are mostly consecutive with age or injuries and the wear progress of cartilage, resulting in severe disability. Because no treatment will total repair the cartilage tissue, medical research is developing techniques based on tissue engineering. These techniques use polymer substrates and stem cells that are "forced" to develop into cartilage tissue. However, these techniques cannot be used across a run articulation because Il is not possible-to replicate ex vivo a large-scale structure and the physicochemical and mechanical properties of articular cartilage. In this context, the purpose of this thesis is to develop polymer materials that can be implanted at the macroscopic level in the joints disease that will fill the wear of the cartilage. To do so, new biomaterials - hydrogels p (HEMA)- were obtained by controlling the hydrophilic nature of hydrogels p (HEMA) during their chemical synthesis in the presence of various co-monomers (acrylic acid, acrylamide, acrylate ethylene and butyl acrylate). From there, physicochemical, mechanical and tribological properties of these novel hydrogels have been optimized to obtain similar properties to those of healthy articular cartilage. Then, the controlled release of drugs from these hydrogels was studied to minimize inflammatory when used in tissue engineering of articular cartilage.VILLEURBANNE-DOC'INSA LYON (692662301) / SudocVILLEURBANNE-DOC'INSA-Bib. elec.

The DUNE Far Detector Vertical Drift Technology, Technical Design Report

International audienceDUNE is an international experiment dedicated to addressing some of the questions at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics, including the mystifying preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe. The dual-site experiment will employ an intense neutrino beam focused on a near and a far detector as it aims to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and to make high-precision measurements of the PMNS matrix parameters, including the CP-violating phase. It will also stand ready to observe supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector implements liquid argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) technology, and combines the many tens-of-kiloton fiducial mass necessary for rare event searches with the sub-centimeter spatial resolution required to image those events with high precision. The addition of a photon detection system enhances physics capabilities for all DUNE physics drivers and opens prospects for further physics explorations. Given its size, the far detector will be implemented as a set of modules, with LArTPC designs that differ from one another as newer technologies arise. In the vertical drift LArTPC design, a horizontal cathode bisects the detector, creating two stacked drift volumes in which ionization charges drift towards anodes at either the top or bottom. The anodes are composed of perforated PCB layers with conductive strips, enabling reconstruction in 3D. Light-trap-style photon detection modules are placed both on the cryostat's side walls and on the central cathode where they are optically powered. This Technical Design Report describes in detail the technical implementations of each subsystem of this LArTPC that, together with the other far detector modules and the near detector, will enable DUNE to achieve its physics goals
