Unique aspects of a shape memory polymer as the substrate for surface wrinkling.
Typical bilayer wrinkle systems employ soft elastomers as the substrates. In contrast, shape memory polymers have recently emerged as attractive alternatives. Besides the shape fixing capability, shape memory polymers distinguish from elastomers in that they are rigid at room temperature, but experience significant modulus drop upon heating. We hereby report unique aspects of shape memory polym...
متن کاملAntigen presentation by human microvascular endothelial cells triggers ICAM-1-dependent transendothelial protrusion by, and fractalkine-dependent transendothelial migration of, effector memory CD4+ T cells.
TCR engagement on adherent human effector memory CD4(+) T cells by TNF-treated HUVECs under flow induces formation of a transendothelial protrusion (TEP) by the T cell but fails to induce transendothelial migration (TEM). In contrast, TCR engagement of the same T cell populations by TNF-treated human dermal microvascular cells (HDMEC) not only induces TEP formation, but triggers TEM at or near ...
متن کاملAnisotropic wrinkle formation on shape memory polymer substrates
In this paper, we demonstrate an assisted self-assembly fabrication method for unidirectional patterns using pre-programmed shape memory polymer (SMP) as the substrate in an organic/ inorganic bi-layer structure. By heating the hybrid structure above the SMP’s shape recovery temperature, the substrate expands because of positive coefficients of thermal expansion in one direction, while in the p...
متن کاملEffect of Mouse Liver Extract on in Vitro Differentiation of Amniotic Membrane Stem Cells into Hepatocyte-Like Cells
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Multipotent placental amniotic membrane mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of differentiating into specialized tissues under different conditions. The aim of this study was to induce differentiation of placental amniotic membrane MSCs from NMRI mouse into hepatocytes using liver extract. &nb...
متن کاملReversibly texturing active surfaces with spatial and temporal control
Textured surfaces, formed through wrinkling and folding, are observed abundantly in nature. We are especially motivated by the unique capabilities of some species of cuttlefish that camouflage themselves by rapidly switching from smooth to textured skin by expressing protuberances called papillae. Inspired by this, we developed a shape memory alloy– elastomer composite as a platform for reversi...
