Methylcellulose Based Thermally Reversible Hydrogel System for Tissue Engineering Applications
The thermoresponsive behavior of a Methylcellulose (MC) polymer was systematically investigated to determine its usability in constructing MC based hydrogel systems in cell sheet engineering applications. Solution-gel analyses were made to study the effects of polymer concentration, molecular weight and dissolved salts on the gelation of three commercially available MCs using differential scann...
متن کاملElectrical Resistivity-Based Study of Self-Sensing Properties for Shape Memory Alloy-Actuated Artificial Muscle
Shape memory alloy (SMA) has great potential to develop light and compact artificial muscle (AM) due to its muscle-like high power-to-weight ratio, flexibility and silent operation properties. In this paper, SMA self-sensing properties are explored and modeled in depth to imitate the integrated muscle-like functions of actuating and self-sensing for SMA-AM based on the investigation of SMA elec...
متن کاملHydrogel Nanoparticles with Thermally Controlled Drug Release
Improving the therapeutic efficacy and reducing systemic side effects of drugs is an important aspect in chemotherapy. The strategy presented here is the use of cisplatin loaded, temperature-sensitive, hydrogel nanoparticles (CisPt-NPs) and their ability to deliver and release chemodrugs selectively, based on thermal stimuli. The specially synthesized CisPt-NPs show a temperature-dependent incr...
متن کاملThermally actuated probe array for parallel dip-pen nanolithography
Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) uses scanning probes to directly deposit chemical and biological materials on a solid substrate. It offers the advantages of nanometer resolution and flexibility in pattern generation. Conventional DPN uses a single probe and its throughput is limited due to the serial nature of the process. This article reports the development of a linear silicon probe array that ...
متن کاملThermally actuated tapping mode atomic force microscopy with polymer microcantilevers.
This paper demonstrates a thermally actuated tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a polymer cantilever. The cantilever (350x250x3 microm(3)) is made from polyimide and includes an embedded resistive heater for thermal actuation. The oscillation of the cantilever is due to the stress gradient caused by alternating heating and cooling from the periodic ac excitation of the heater. The ...
