Dr. van Kooyk is a cancer immunologist, and her team was studying how dendritic cells interact with certain immune cells, T lymphocytes, through attachments known as adhesion molecules.
These include glycoproteins containing polysaccharide chains, which function, along with other carbohydrates, as adhesion sites and recognition sites for attachment and chemical interaction with other neurons.
Titanium is used as adhesion layer between silicon and platinum.
CM-chitosan inhibited planktonic growth as well as adhesion.
However, rock-fluid interactions such as adhesion, spreading and wettability affect the displacement in the reservoir.
Hence, surface forces such as adhesion and friction become significantly influential at such small scales.
Physical properties of the coatings, such as adhesion strength, porosity and microstructure, were measured for comparison.
Such a mineralized scaffold can improve specific biological functions such as adhesion, differentiation, and proliferation of osteoblastic cells.
Properties as adhesion, thickness, roughness and phase composition of films were evaluated.
Interactions between the particles and the wall such as adhesion forces and detachment were modeled.
Mechanical properties, such as adhesion, hardness and Young modulus, were tested.
