Microfluidic Production of Capsules-in-Capsules for Programed Release of Multiple Ingredients

Capsules with thin shells have a high‐loading capacity and are thus well‐suited containers for reagents that must be stored in confined volumes. Capsules contained in larger capsules, so‐called double capsules, allow the encapsulation of distinct reagents ...

Microfluidics: A Tool to Control the Size and Composition of Particles

Esther Amstad

Particles and capsules are used as containers for active ingredients to delay their degradation and control the location and kinetics of their release. Key to a successful application of these containers is a good control over their size, composition, and ...

A solid-state NMR method to determine domain sizes in multi-component polymer formulations

David Lyndon Emsley, Judith Schlagnitweit

Polymer domain sizes are related to many of the physical properties of polymers. Here we present a solid-state NMR experiment that is capable of measuring domain sizes in multi-component mixtures. The method combines selective excitation of carbon magnetiz ...

Assessment of solvent capsule-based healing for woven fibre-reinforced epoxies

Erica Manfredi

Structural fibre-reinforced composites based on brittle matrices such as epoxy resins may be subject to short-term subcritical matrix damage that develops with time to the point where it may compromise the integrity of the structure. Currently, components ...

Proliferation, Morphology, and Pluripotency of Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Three Different Types of Alginate Beads for Mass Production

Yoji Tabata

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are expected to be an ideal cell source for biomedical applications, but such applications usually require a large number of cells. Suspension culture of iPSC aggregates can offer high cell yields but sometimes result ...

Fluid-mediated parallel self-assembly of polymeric micro-capsules for liquid encapsulation and release

Jürgen Brugger, Alcherio Martinoli, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Massimo Mastrangeli, Cristina Martin Olmos, Victor Javier Cadarso Busto, Rosario Maurizio Gullo, Loïc Jacot-Descombes, Grégory Mermoud

Fluid-mediated self-assembly is one of the most promising routes for assembling and packaging smart microsystems in a scalable and cost-efficient way. In this work the pairwise fluidic self-assembly of 100 μm-sized SU-8 cylinders is studied with respect to ...

Immunoisolated cell implants for intracerebral delivery of anti-Aß single chain Fv antibodies in the APP23 Alzheimer's mouse model

Osiris Marroquin Belaunzaran

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the elderly population. AD currently affects approximately 27 million people worldwide. A pathological hallmark of AD is the accumulation and deposition of the amyloid beta (Aβ) pe ...

Phase-contrast and fluorescence X-ray imaging of soft and bio matter

Vincent Gajdosik

The high brightness and coherence of X-ray synchrotron sources and steady development in X-ray optics are critical ingredients in novel imaging techniques for a variety of domains. We employed several different approaches and a wide energy spectrum of radi ...

Photo-crosslinked copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, poly(ethylene glycol) tetra-acrylate and ethylene dimethacrylate for improving biocompatibility of biosensors

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

A copolymer containing 88% 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 9% poly(ethylene glycol) (MW 18.5 kDa) tetra-acrylate and 3% ethylene dimethacrylate was prepared and evaluated for use as a biocompatible interface between glucose biosensors and tissue in the ...

Mordanting of filter dyes in photographic materials

Jutta Christine Wandrey

Almost all conventional acid filter dyes can be rendered nondiffusing in emulsion or thin auxiliary layers, without lowering their phys.-mech. properties or interference with their bleachability or washing-out during processing by a small amt. of a mordant ...
