Evaluation of the simultaneous use of Cp 2 VMe 2 and CpTiCl 2 N(SiMe 3 ) 2 as precursors to ceramic thin films containing titanium and vanadium: Towards titanium–vanadium carbonitride
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-03)
Ceramic thin films containing titanium, vanadium, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen were obtained on steel substrates at 873 K, under nitrogen and helium gases and at low pressure, by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from two ...
Prevention of calcification of glutaraldehyde-crosslinked porcine aortic cusps by ethanol preincubation: Mechanistic studies of protein structure and water–biomaterial relationships
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-06-15)
Clinical usage of bioprosthetic heart valves (BPHVs) fabricated from glutaraldehyde-pretreated porcine aortic valves is restricted due to calcification-related failure. We previously reported a highly efficacious ethanol ...
Linear and hyperbranched polycarbosilanes with Si-CH 2 -Si bridging groups: A synthetic platform for the construction of novel functional polymeric materials
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-10)
Work carried in the authors laboratory on Si–CH 2 –Si bridged polycarbosilanes is reviewed. In pursuit of high-yield polymeric precursors to silicon carbide, convenient synthetic routes to both linear and hyperbranched ...
Poly- L -lysine amplification of protamine immobilization and heparin adsorption
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-11)
We previously reported the development of a cellulose fiber based blood filter device containing immobilized protamine (termed protamine filter) that could be used to control both heparin- and protamine-induced complications ...
Preparation and properties of silicon-containing polymer hybrids from 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-10)
The preparation of organic–inorganic polymer hybrids consisting of carbon–carbon and siloxane chains was investigated by radical polymerization of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MAS) followed by acid-catalyzed ...
Engineering smooth muscle tissue with a predefined structure
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-08)
Nonwoven meshes of polyglycolic acid (PGA) fibers are attractive synthetic extracellular matrices (ECMs) for tissue engineering and have been used to engineer many types of tissues. However, these synthetic ECMs lack ...
