This might be useful for examining directed cell interactions, or to enhance the biocompatibility of inorganic materials used as substrates in tissue engineering or devices that are to be implanted into the body.
There is a need to explore new low temperature physical synthesis methods since transparent oxide substrates and emerging polymer-based flexible electronics require processing temperatures less than 500°C to prevent substrate or existing device layer damage.
Future work will investigate how to extend the FAPH method to work directly in enclosed, fully assembled microchannels without the need for precoating of substrates or the need for device disassembly.
Due to the absence of free standing GaN substrates, these devices are fabricated on foreign substrates such as SiC, Sapphire, LiGaO2 or LiGaO3.
SiAlO2N films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering onto sapphire substrates, quartz SAW devices, and langatate SAW devices.
These methods will enable the microscale analysis of the reactions of polymeric systems with various substrates and devices.
Control and reversibility of biomolecular interactions at engineered interfaces presents opportunities to develop highly efficient substrates and devices for a wide range of biomedical applications.
Non-invasive characterization of arrhythmogenic foci or substrates, prior to invasive electrophysiological or device implant procedures, may help to increase therapeutic outcome.
In this display showing optical imaging and spectroscopy of an individual nanotube on substrates and in devices, (a c) are schematics of a nanotube on a fused-silica substrate, in a field-effect transistor device with two gold electrodes, and under an alumina dielectric layer; (d f) are SEM images and (g-i) are direct optical images of these individual nanotubes.
