Grafting secondary materials onto carbon fibers is often limited by the low reactivity of graphitic carbon and there is strong demand to create novel grafting methods with versatile functional groups.
A popular image of Lincoln was created by grafting his head to the ramrod-straight body of John C. Calhoun, a 19th-century vice president.
This was also a problem in the fruit-tree business, where clones can be created by grafting, and in the first decades of the twentieth century nurserymen began to agitate for protection from copiers.
Further, the CNT attachments on CF led to increased electrochemical capacitance properties by rapid ion diffusion through active CNT sites and defects created during grafting.
Figure 3 shows the phylogeny of the 13 genera of Ehrhartoideae, created by grafting the phylogeny of Ehrharta from Verboom et al. (2003) to that of Oryzeae (Ge et al. 2002; Guo and Ge 2005).

In tendon tissue engineering, mainly stem or progenitor cells of mesenchymal origin are being implemented to create tendon grafts and support graft incorporation (Andres and Murrell 2008).
By the fall, Ms. Doyle had teamed with two partners, John Bagnasco, the owner of Garden Life, a radio show that sells plants online, and Tim Wada, the owner of Plug Connection, a California production house, to create SuperNaturals Grafted Vegetables, which sells a line of grafted tomatoes, known as Mighty 'Mato, and Mighty Veggies Grafted Peppers and Eggplants to wholesale growers.
Epibone — Epibone is working to create bone grafts from a patient's own stem cells.
Tissue-engineering techniques can be used to create vascular grafts with the potential for repair, remodeling, and growth.
