摘要:
The present invention relates generally to biocompatible medical devices, such as cranial implants, and a method and means of attaching to hone. More specifically, the present invention relates to multilayered porous material with controlled porosity and drug load designed to control the release of drugs from a medical device. Additionally the present invention provides methods for controlling release of drugs by integrating the multilayer structure in medical devices with successive layers of polymer coatings of different porosities and drug contents. The multilayer material is inserted in between two plates such as meshes that provide strength to the implant. The present invention relates to biocompatible medical devices that has osseointegration and antibacterial properties. The present invention also relates to a method and means of attaching the medical device to defect in a bone structure and comprises of tree mounting parts configured to secure the medical in place.

Nanostructures and photovoltaic structures are disclosed. A nanostructure according to one embodiment includes an array of nanocables extending from a substrate, the nanocables in the array being characterized as having a spacing and surface texture defined by inner surfaces of voids of a template; an electrically insulating layer extending along the substrate; and at least one layer overlaying the nanocables. A nanostructure according to another embodiment includes a substrate; a portion of a template extending along the substrate, the template being electrically insulative; an array of nanocables extending from the template, portions of the nanocables protruding from the template being characterized as having a spacing, shape and surface texture defined by previously-present inner surfaces of voids of the template; and at least one layer overlaying the nanocables.

A method for forming a nanostructure according to one embodiment includes creating a hole in an insulating layer positioned over an electrically conductive layer; and forming a nanocable in the hole such that the nanocable extends through the hole in the insulating layer and protrudes therefrom, the nanocable being in communication with the electrically conductive layer. Additional systems and methods are also presented.
摘要:
Radially layered nanocables are fabricated by first forming nanotubes within tubular passages of nano-sized diameter, then depositing a material dissimilar to that of the nanotubes over the surface(s) of the nanotubes by underpotential electrochemical deposition. Both hollow cables and cables with solid cores can be manufactured in this manner. The tubular passages reside in membranes or wafers that can be removed from the nanocables either before or after the second material is deposited, or in some applications, the nanocables are useful when still embedded in the membranes or wafers.
