Micro-patterned plasma and ultra-violet ozone modification of polymer surfaces.
… the surface chemical modification of Iwaki TM tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) and Nunclon TM polystyrene (PS) dishes by; (i) plasma deposition/modification of n-Hexane, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and acetone, and (ii) an Ultra-Violet/Ozone (UV/Ozone) oxidation treatment have been investigated as …

Polysaccharide-based nanostructures for growth factor delivery and mesenchymal stem cell activation
… stem cells (MSCs) are very promising in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine because of their ability to differentiate into different type of cells including bone and cartilage. MSCs differentiation can be modulated using both chemical (i.e. proteins) and physical cues (ie. …

Modification of polymer surfaces to aid the attachment of cells derived from bone.
Polymeric materials such as polystyrene (PS) and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (PE) have bulk properties which are attractive for biomaterials applications such as orthopaedic implants. However, both PS and PE have low surface energy, and it is well established that high-energy surfaces …
