    PLGA film/Titanium nanotubues as a sustained growth factor releasing system for dental implants

    Ti-based implants sometimes fail to integrate with surrounding bone tissue due to insufficiency of new bone formation and surface bonding. To overcome this problem, this research focused on establishing a sust...

    Separation of water from a microliter oil/water mixed drop using Lamb waves on an inclined glass plate

    In this work, we have developed a simple fast approach to separate water from a microliter-scaled oil/water mixture by using a Lamb wave device. We demonstrate and explain its separation as an asymmetric Lamb ...
