Because the grass courts on the Riviera wore out quickly and were hard to maintain, the Renshaws looked around for an alternative surface.
In the absence of alternative surface characterisation technologies42, we were motivated to develop SMLM-compatible surfaces on which ligand spacing could be varied and directly measured after cells were seeded onto the surface.
Pattern formation processes on single-crystal catalytic surfaces involve transitions between alternative surface phases coupled with oscillatory reaction dynamics.
In this work, commercially available coatings have been applied by plasma spray and high velocity oxyfuel (HVOF), employing alternative surface preparation methods.
The use of relatively thick single crystal silicon for the in plane bridges result in structures with good mechanical properties as compared to alternative surface micromachining processes and reduces problems with buckling and sticking.
In this study, an alternative surface hardening method called as "CRTD-Bor" (Cathodic Reduction and Thermal Diffusion based Boriding) was introduced for the heavy-duty applications of medium carbon, chromium-silicon martensitic steel, also known commercially Silchrome 1.
Since traditional polyethylene glycol (PEG) surface layer interferes with the cell-NP interaction in tumors, we used a water-soluble and blood-compatible chitosan derivative called zwitterionic chitosan (ZWC) as an alternative surface coating for poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) NPs.
For this reason, a study of an alternative surface treatment with substantially lower levels concerning environmental impact is presented in this work, which is based on a photocatalytic reaction that is initiated on the copolymer surface by TiO2 nanoparticles (30 nm), as a suspension, under UV exposure.
