Wettability influences cell behavior on superhydrophobic surfaces with different topographies.
Surface wettability and topography are recognized as critical factors influencing cell behavior on biomaterials. So far only few works have reported cell responses on surfaces exhibiting extreme wettability in combination with surface topography. The goal of this work is to study whether cell behavior on superhydrophobic surfaces is influenced by surface topography and polymer type. Biomimetic ...
متن کاملWettability Switching Techniques on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
The wetting properties of superhydrophobic surfaces have generated worldwide research interest. A water drop on these surfaces forms a nearly perfect spherical pearl. Superhydrophobic materials hold considerable promise for potential applications ranging from self cleaning surfaces, completely water impermeable textiles to low cost energy displacement of liquids in lab-on-chip devices. However,...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser induced hierarchical ZnO superhydrophobic surfaces with switchable wettability.
A simple and one-step method to form a rough ZnO layer consisting of micro/nanoscale hierarchical structures via direct femtosecond laser ablation of the Zn surface is reported for the first time. The resultant surfaces show switchable wettability between superhydrophobicity and quasi-superhydrophilicity via alternate UV irradiation and dark storage.
متن کاملCell Adhesion On Surfaces Of Varying Topographies
Micro-topography of a surface in?uences cell adhesion and proliferation. To improve adhesion, polyelectrolyte multilay ers (PEMs) are built on patterned support layers to increase surface Wettability, thereby improving attachment and spreading of the cells. Physical parameters, such as pattern siZe and pitch, in part, regulate cell adhesion and prolifera tion. Varying the surface topography pro...
