Bioactive Nanoimprint Lithography: A Study of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Behavior and Fate
Biomaterials aim to mimic in vivo extracellular matrices where cell interactions occur on the nanoscale. Thus, incorporation of nanosized components is interesting in the preparation of bioactive surfaces. We ...

Mechanical properties of nanotubes of polyelectrolyte multilayers
The elastic properties of nanotubes fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of polyelectrolytes in the nanopores of polycarbonate track-etched membranes have been investigated by resonant contact Atomic Fo...

Extent of plasma damage to porous organosilicate films characterized with nanoindentation, x-ray reflectivity, and surface acoustic waves
It is known that porous organosilicate glass (OSG) dielectrics tend to lose functional groups and become denser upon the chemical and physical action of the plasmas, but an accurate analysis and estimation of ...

Spinodal-like dewetting of thermodynamically-stable thin polymer films
Energetic considerations indicate that long-range Van der Waals forces stabilize thin polystyrene (PS) films against height fluctuations on silicon substrates. Nevertheless, we report here on the amplification...

Time-resolved SAXS studies of morphological changes in cold crystallized poly(ethylene terephthalate) during annealing and heating
Structural changes occurring during crystallization of quenched amorphous poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and subsequent cooling/heating cycles have been studied by real-time small-angle x-ray scattering (S...
