Surface Modification by Friction Based Processes

Osteogenic Surface Modification Based on Functionalized Poly-P-Xylylene Coating

The biotechnology to immobilize biomolecules on material surfaces has been developed vigorously due to its high potentials in medical applications. In this study, a simple and effective method was designed to immobilize biomolecules via amine-N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester conjugation reaction using functionalized poly-p-xylylene coating on material surfaces. The NHS ester functionalized coat...

Friction force microscopy investigations of potassium halide surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum: structure, friction and surface modification

Friction force microscopy measurements on the vacuum-cleaved (001) surfaces of KF, KCl and KBr have been carried out. All surfaces exhibit atomically flat terraces with monatomic steps aligned preferentially along low-index lattice directions. Stick-slip lateral forces with the lattice periodicity are observed on all surfaces. Tip-sample contact creates higher friction domains on the terraces o...

Surface Modification of Polystyrene Beads by Ultraviolet/Ozone Treatment and its Effect on Gelatin Coating

Problem statement: Polystyrene failed to provide any reactive functionality of surface hydrophilicity that is capable of binding proteins. It is known that polystyrene must be chemically modified to make its surface amenable to covalent crosslinking with protein. Approach: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of UV/ozone treatment on gelatin coating. The surfaces of microsize po...

Tendon surface modification by chemically modified HA coating after flexor digitorum profundus tendon repair.

Carbodiimide derivatized HA (cd-HA) is less soluble in water than normal HA, and therefore has an increased tissue residence time. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of cd-HA gel on gliding and repair integrity during simulated repetitive motion of a repaired tendon in vitro. A total of 36 flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendons from six adult mongrel dogs were used and divided ...
