For comparison, the turn-on field previously reported for uncoated BCNTs is around 3 V/μm [11] and that of Si tips is around 5 V/μm [18].
Our values were lower (53.7 emu/g) than those previously reported for uncoated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (92 emu/g) [27], however, presumably due to surface order/disorder interactions in the magnetic spin moment and an increase in nanocomposite weight and volume due to the presence of the PNIPAAm polymer layer.
The purification steps for the core/shell nanoparticles were as previously described for the uncoated CdSe nanocrystals.
This reduction in EOF from a previously reported value for uncoated fused silica of 5.1 ± 0.1 × 10 4 cm V 1 s–1 indicates a successful PVA coating.
Finally, the protoplasts were resuspended in 70 100 μL of the fixing solution (1 μL per apex), and aliquots (∼8 μL) of this suspension were dropped from a height of ∼1 cm with a 20 μL micropipette onto the centre of uncoated microscope slides previously washed with 96%% ethanol.
Previously we demonstrated that chondrocyte ECM synthesis and mitotic activity was dependent on scaffold composition when cultured on uncoated PCL scaffolds (pPCL) or PCL composites containing hyaluronan (PCL/HA), chitosan (PCL/CS), fibrin (PCL/F), or collagen type I (PCL/COL1).
Our results for both coated and uncoated BMGs, as well as previously reported results for uncoated metallic glasses, with thicknesses ranging from ribbons to thin plates to bulk, are well described by a simple power law relationship between plastic strain to failure and shear band spacing.
Cell migration was assessed using modified Boyden chambers with uncoated inserts (8-μm pores), as previously described.
The complete list of primers used in this study is found in Table 4.> Low-temperature scanning electron microscopy of uncoated samples was performed as described previously (Schubert et al., 2007; Jennessen et al., 2008).
The adherence of A. naeslundii to An-SGP-coated BEC is sensitive to the same inhibitors previously shown to block adherence of A. naeslundii to uncoated BEC, namely lactose- and galactosyl-binding lectins.
