Corrosive Wear of Ti-6AI-4V Coupled With Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene.
… are not only limited to machinery but also to synthetic devices in the human body, e.g., orthopedic implant devices contained in human synovial joints. One factor connected with these problems is a lack of knowledge and understanding of the effects of wear on corrosion. The objective of the …

Flexible fibers for optoelectronic probing of spinal cord circuits
… modulus mismatch between spinal cord tissue and synthetic devices by designing flexible multifunctional neural probes capable of conforming to the spinal cord geometry and mechanical properties, while providing functions for optical stimulation and neural recording. In this thesis, fiber drawing …

Functional "backpacks" for cellular engineering
… a method to fabricate such heterostructured devices for single-cell functionalization. These devices may be attached to the surface of living immune system cells, conferring new functions without impairing native cellular behaviors. The first part of this thesis focuses on the techniques to …

Gene expression patterns of encapsulated microbial cells
To design hybrid cellular/synthetic devices such as sensors and vaccines, understanding of how the metabolic state of living cells changes upon physical confinement within three-dimensional matrices is vital. We analyze the gene expression patterns of stationary phase Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. …
