Influence of Different Sterilization Methods on the Surface Chemistry and Electrochemical Behavior of Biomedical Alloys

Stefano Mischler, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz

Sterilization is a prerequisite for biomedical devices before contacting the human body. It guarantees the lack of infection by eliminating microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, spores and fungi). It constitutes the last fabrication process of a biomedical devic ...

Caspofungin on ARGET-ATRP grafted PHEMA polymers: Enhancement and selectivity of prevention of attachment of Candida albicans

Harm-Anton Klok, Piotr Mocny

There is a need for coatings for biomedical devices and implants that can prevent the attachment of fungal pathogens while allowing human cells and tissue to appose without cytotoxicity. Here, the authors study whether a poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (P ...

Small, fast, and tough: Shrinking down integrated elastomer transducers

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset

We review recent progress in miniaturized dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), sensors, and energy harvesters. We focus primarily on configurations where the large strain, high compliance, stretchability, and high level of integration offered by dielectr ...

A microfluidic-based frequency-multiplexing impedance sensor (FMIS)

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Robert Meissner, Pierre Joris, Bilge Eker

We present a novel technology for the simultaneous and simple impedimetric screening of multiple microfluidic channels with only one electrode pair. We have exploited the frequency dimension to distinguish between up to three channels. Each ‘sub-sensor’ po ...

Analytical ultracentrifugation to support the development of biomaterials and biomedical devices

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Jutta Christine Wandrey, Conlin O'Neil, Urara Hasegawa

Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) primarily serves to investigate hydrodynamic and thermodynamic properties of natural and synthetic macromolecules and colloids in solution, dispersion or suspension. Beside such more conventional use, AUC can support ma ...

Electrophoretic deposition of multi-scale structured TiO2 surfaces

The long term fixation of biomedical implants constitutes an issue in the clinical praxis. Implant fixation can be improved by functionalizing its surface. In fact, the tissue response around an implant is conditioned by its surface morphological and chemi ...
