Biomaterials: Protein–Surface Interactions
The study of protein–surface interactions represents one of the most important topics in the field of biomaterials, and as such, it has been a focus of intensive study for several decades. The reason for the great interest in this topic is the realization that protein– surface interactions are fundamentally responsible for the biocompatibility of medical devices, or the lack thereof. When a sol...
متن کاملPlasma-surface modification of biomaterials
Plasma-surface modification (PSM) is an effective and economical surface treatment technique for many materials and of growing interests in biomedical engineering. This article reviews the various common plasma techniques and experimental methods as applied to biomedical materials research, such as plasma sputtering and etching, plasma implantation, plasma deposition, plasma polymerization, las...
متن کاملLinear artificial molecular muscles.
Two switchable, palindromically constituted bistable [3]rotaxanes have been designed and synthesized with a pair of mechanically mobile rings encircling a single dumbbell. These designs are reminiscent of a "molecular muscle" for the purposes of amplifying and harnessing molecular mechanical motions. The location of the two cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT(4+)) rings can be controlled to b...
متن کاملFuel-powered artificial muscles.
Artificial muscles and electric motors found in autonomous robots and prosthetic limbs are typically battery-powered, which severely restricts the duration of their performance and can necessitate long inactivity during battery recharge. To help solve these problems, we demonstrated two types of artificial muscles that convert the chemical energy of high-energy-density fuels to mechanical energ...
متن کاملPneumatic Artificial Muscles
This paper reports mechanical tasting and modeling results for the McKibben artificial muscle pneumatic actuator. This device, first developed in the 1950’s, contains an expanding tube surrounded by braided cords. We report static and dynamic length-tension testing results and derive a linearized model of these properties for three different models. The results are brieffy compared with human m...
