Effect of Surface Chemistry and Young's Modulus on the Surface Motility of the Bacterium Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
This study demonstrates that the surface motility of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is dependent on the surface chemistry of the underlying substrate. In particular, cells on hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) have a speed that is on average 38% greater than on hydrophilic PDMS. These …

Microstructural analysis of thermal spray coatings by electron microscopy
… being projected at high velocity towards a substrate. Upon impact they flatten, forming splats, whose accumulation results in the formation of a coating. Such processes are used to achieve surface modification of substrates. This thesis has investigated NiCr splats thermally sprayed onto …

The Effect of Substrate Parameters on the Morphology of Thermally Sprayed PEEK Splats
… This thesis reports on the effect that substrate surface chemistry, morphology and temperature has on the morphology of PEEK single splats on aluminium substrates. PEEK single splats were deposited by HVAF and plasma spraying on aluminium substrates with 6 different pretreatments. …

Physical and chemical manipulation of carbon nanotubes and graphene for nanoelectronics
… scale diameters on a wafer by engineering the substrate surface chemistry, liquid surface tension and liquid film thickness. The substrate surface is manipulated by chemisorption of monolayers of hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules in form of alternating rectangular strips. The cylindrical …

Development of Strategies for Improving the Isolation Efficiency and Protein Quantification of Extracellular Vesicles
… blocking reagents on a variety of commonly used substrates for protein measurement in complex biofluids were systematically optimized. It was determined that the choice of blocking strategies highly depends on the substrate. These studies offer strategies for improving EV isolation efficiency and …
