Novel Riboflavin-Inspired Conjugated Bio-Organic Semiconductors

Novel Bio-inspired Aquatic Flow Sensors

Inspired by the roles of hair cells in nature, this study aims to develop and characterize two new sets of novel flow sensors. One set of sensors developed and studied in this work are flow sensors fabricated using carbon nanomaterials. These sensors are made by embedding carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon nanohorns (CNH) into a polymeric substrate and then tested by flowing a conductive aqueous...

Organic Semiconductors

History With the invention of the transistor around the middle of the last century, inorganic semiconductors such as Si or Ge began to take over the role as the dominant material in electronics from the previously dominant metals. At the same time, the replacement of vacuum tube based electronics by solid state devices initiated a development which by the end of the 20th century has lead to the...

Bio-Conjugated Polycaprolactone Membranes: A Novel Wound Dressing

BACKGROUND The combination of polycaprolactone and hyaluronic acid creates an ideal environment for wound healing. Hyaluronic acid maintains a moist wound environment and accelerates the in-growth of granulation tissue. Polycaprolactone has excellent mechanical strength, limits inflammation and is biocompatible. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of bio-conjugated polycaprolactone mem...
