Photoinitiated Chemical Vapor Deposition of Hydrogels for Use as Cell Culture Substrates

Introduction In 2007, oral drug delivery was a $35 billion industry, and was expected to grow almost 10% per year. The major portal for the uptake of medicines delivered orally is the small intestine. One of the greatest features of the small intestine is its large surface area, created by an intricate structure of finger-like projections called villi and well-like invaginations called crypts. ...

Morphology transition during low-pressure chemical vapor deposition.

Assuming a reemission model, we have studied, in detail, the effect of sticking coefficient on the morphology evolution in low-pressure chemical vapor deposition processes. We have shown that the surface morphology changes from a self-affine fractal to a columnarlike morphology with increasing sticking coefficient, which agrees qualitatively with experimental observations.

Chemical Kinetics of Photoinduced Chemical Vapor Deposition: Silica Coating of Gas-Phase Nanoparticles

Experimental studies of gas-phase nanoparticle coating by photoinduced chemical vapor deposition (photoCVD) have shown that silica coatings can be produced with controllable thicknesses on different nanoparticle cores for a variety of applications. This study presents a chemical reaction sequence for the photo-CVD process to describe the production of silica coatings from the decomposition of t...
