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 ...
Probing diffusion barrier integrity on porous silica low-k thin films using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy
(The American Institute of Physics, 2001-05-01)
The technique of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) has been used to investigate the continuity and thermal stability of thin barrier layers designed to prevent Cu atom diffusion into porous silica, ...
Broadband dielectric spectroscopy of the inter- and intramolecular dynamics of a series of random polyester copolymers
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2001-11)
Broadband dielectric spectroscopy (1–10 6 Hz, 183–423 K) and differential scanning calorimetry are employed to analyze the inter- and intramolecular dynamics of a series of random copolymers based on poly(ethylene ...
Ink-Jet Printing of Wax-Based Alumina Suspensions
(American Ceramics SocietyBlackwell Publishing Ltd, 2001-11)
Controlling molecular mobility and ductile–brittle transitions of polycarbonate copolymers
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-08-01)
To control molecular mobility and study its effects on mechanical properties, we synthesized two series of poly(ester carbonate) and polycarbonate copolymers with different linkages: (B x t) n ( x = 3, 5, 7, 9) and ...
Surface modification of neural recording electrodes with conducting polymer/biomolecule blends
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-08)
The interface between micromachined neural microelectrodes and neural tissue plays an important role in chronic in vivo recording. Electrochemical polymerization was used to optimize the surface of the metal electrode ...
Microtubular architecture of biodegradable polymer scaffolds
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-09-15)
It is a relatively new approach to generate tissues with mammalian cells and scaffolds (temporary synthetic extracellular matrices). Many tissues, such as nerve, muscle, tendon, ligament, blood vessel, bone, and teeth, ...
Quantitative measurement of adhesion between polypropylene blends and paints by tensile mechanical testing
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2001-03)
A tensile mechanical test suiable to measure the adhesion between brittle coatings and ductile substrates was applied to measure the adhesion of painted layers on polypropylene blends. The test involves the tensile deformation ...
In-plane compression of constrained preforms
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2001-06)
Preforms constructed from a plain-weave, glass fabric were compressed in-plane within a fixture that mimicked the constraints of a closed mold. Typically, a gap was left between the bottom of the preform and the floor of ...
Biodegradable Polymer Scaffolds with Well-Defined Interconnected Spherical Pore Network
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers, 2001-02-01)
Scaffolding plays pivotal role in tissue engineering. In this work, a novel processing technique has been developed to create three-dimensional biodegradable polymer scaffolds with well-controlled interconnected spherical ...
