Calcium phosphate thin films enhance the response of human mesenchymal stem cells to nanostructured titanium surfaces
The development of biomaterial surfaces possessing the topographical cues that can promote mesenchymal stem cell recruitment and, in particular, those capable of subsequently directing osteogenic differentiation is of increasing importance for the advancement of tissue engineering. While it is accepted that it is the interaction with specific nanoscale topography that induces mesenchymal stem c...
متن کاملNonreciprocal switching of VO(2) thin films on microstructured surfaces.
We demonstrate that the combination of near-field focusing and a switchable oxide layer permits construction of a modulator with different optical switching thresholds in two opposing directions. For that purpose VO(2) layers are deposited onto spherical micrometer-sized particles. The phase transition in VO(2) is induced by a nanosecond-pulsed Nd:YAG laser from two different directions. The me...
متن کاملEnhanced osteoblast adhesion to drug-coated anodized nanotubular titanium surfaces
Current orthopedic implants have functional lifetimes of only 10-15 years due to a variety of reasons including infection, extensive inflammation, and overall poor osseointegration (or a lack of prolonged bonding of the implant to juxtaposed bone). To improve properties of titanium for orthopedic applications, this study anodized and subsequently coated titanium with drugs known to reduce infec...
متن کاملInvestigation of resistive switching in anodized titanium dioxide thin films
In this work, TiO2 nanostructures were grown on titanium thin films by electrochemical anodizing method. The bipolar resistive switching effect has been observed in Pt/TiO2/Ti device. Resistive switching characteristics indicated the TiO2 nanotubes are one of the potential materials for nonvolatile memory applications. Increasing anodizing duration will increase nanotube lengths which itself c...
متن کاملElectronic properties of conjugated polyelectrolyte thin films.
The electronic properties of conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) with poly(fluorene-co-phenylene) backbones and different counterions and charges have been investigated using absorption and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). The optical energy band gap of CPEs depends mainly on their conjugated backbone and are nearly insensitive to the charges or counterions. UPS measurements reveal ...
