Antibacterial titanium nano-patterned arrays inspired by dragonfly wings
Titanium and its alloys remain the most popular choice as a medical implant material because of its desirable properties. The successful osseointegration of titanium implants is, however, adversely affected by the presence of bacterial biofilms that can form on the surface, and hence methods for preventing the formation of surface biofilms have been the subject of intensive research over the pa...
متن کاملPatterned arrays of magnetic nano-engineered capsules on solid supports
The aim of the present work is to develop a method for the patterning of the nanocapsule arrays immobilized on solid surfaces applying electron beam treatment to the formed layers of nanoparticles with magnetic materials in the cavity or in the shell. The successful patterning was demonstrated by optical microscopy, while morphology and structure of the formed system were analyzed by atomic for...
متن کاملAerodynamic characteristics of the wings and body of a dragonfly
The aerodynamic characteristics of the wings and body of a dragonfly and of artificial wing models were studied by conducting two types of wind-tunnel tests and a number of free-flight tests of gliders made using dragonfly wings. The results were consistent between these different tests. The effects of camber, thickness, sharpness of the leading edge and surface roughness on the aerodynamic cha...
متن کاملNano rough micron patterned titanium for directing osteoblast morphology and adhesion
Previous studies have demonstrated greater functions ofosteoblasts (bone-forming cells) on nanophase compared with conventional metals. Nanophase metals possess a biologically inspired nanostructured surface that mimics the dimensions of constituent components in bone, including collagen and hydroxyapatite. Not only do these components possess dimensions on the nanoscale, they are aligned in a ...
متن کاملPhasing of dragonfly wings can improve aerodynamic efficiency by removing swirl
Dragonflies are dramatic, successful aerial predators, notable for their flight agility and endurance. Further, they are highly capable of low-speed, hovering and even backwards flight. While insects have repeatedly modified or reduced one pair of wings, or mechanically coupled their fore and hind wings, dragonflies and damselflies have maintained their distinctive, independently controllable, ...
