Ion beam modification of metals: Compositional and microstructural changes
(Elsevier, 1989)
Ion implantation has become a highly developed tool for modifying the structure and properties of metals and alloys. In addition to direct implantation, a variety of other ion beam techniques such as ion beam mixing, ion ...
Microstructural studies of sputter-deposited TiN ceramic films
(Elsevier, 1989-05-02)
A transmission electron microscopy study was undertaken to characterize the microstructures of TiN thin films that were sputter-deposited onto Cu-Be, alumina and glass substrates. There were no substantial microstructural ...
Synthetic nano-fibrillar extracellular matrices with predesigned macroporous architectures
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-11)
Scaffolding plays a pivotal role in tissue engineering. To mimic the architecture of a natural extracellular matrix component—collagen, nona-fibrous matrices have been created with synthetic biodegradable polymers in our ...
Synthesis and Erosion Properties of PEG-Containing Polyanhydrides
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2007-05-10)
To tailor the erosion rate of polyanhydrides while retaining their surface erosion characteristics, new three-component polyanhydrides of sebacic acid, 1,3-bis( p -carboxyphenoxy)propane and poly(ethylene glycol) were ...
Engineering new bone tissue in vitro on highly porous poly(Α-hydroxyl acids)/hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-02)
Engineering new bone tissue with cells and a synthetic extracellular matrix (scaffolding) represents a new approach for the regeneration of mineralized tissues compared with the transplantation of bone (autografts or ...
Nano-fibrous scaffolding architecture selectively enhances protein adsorption contributing to cell attachment
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-11-01)
Tissue engineering aims at resolving problems such as donor shortage and immune rejection faced by transplantation. Scaffolds (artificial extracellular matrices) have critical roles in tissue engineering. Recently, we ...
Prediction of Physical Aging in Controlled-Release Coatings: The Application of the Relaxation Coupling Model to Glassy Cellulose Acetate
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-06)
The effect of physical aging on both the water transport properties and the mechanical properties of glassy cellulose acetate was investigated. Results indicate a reduction in the mechanical rate of relaxation as well as ...
Spatioselective Modification of Bicompartmental Polymer Particles and Fibers via Huisgen 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2008-10-22)
Precise nano- and microscale control of the architecture of biodegradable biomaterials is desirable for several biotechnological applications such as drug delivery, diagnostics, and medical imaging. Herein, we combine ...
