One exemplary embodiment includes a thermo-reversible polymer adhesive including a dry adhesive layer and shape memory polymer layer, the shape memory polymer material capable of transitioning from a first shape to a second shape upon heating and imposition of a load to conform to the surface topography of a substrate to which the adhesive is applied.
摘要:
Graphene and graphene-like materials may be formed by preparing a solution of a suitable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) in a solvent that is immiscible with water (or other suitable underlying liquid). A suitably thin layer of the PAH solution is formed on the surface of a thin layer of water. The solvent is evaporated from the solution layer to form a film of PAH material organized in contiguous molecular discs. The organized PAH material may be further processed by careful removal or evaporation of the water layer to deposit the PAH residue on a desired surface. The PAH residue may then be heated to remove hydrogen atoms and form a carbon-enriched or wholly carbon, graphene structure.

Wiper blade materials and methods for forming the same. The wiper blade materials are graphene-polymer composites that have a low coefficient of friction. In forming the grapheme-polymer composites, a relatively small amount of graphene filler is well-dispersed within the polymer and the graphene filler and the polymer favorably interact with one another.

A method to enhance osteoblast functionality of a medical implant. The method may include obtaining the medical implant and treating a surface of the medical implant to modify the surface characteristics causing increase functionality of adjacent positioned osteoblasts. A method of increasing cellular activity of a medical implant is also disclosed. A medical device having enhanced cytocompatibility capabilities includes a metallic substrate with an outer surface. Attached to the outer surface is a composition of nanosized structures. A biosensor for use with a medical device, includes an electrode that is attached to an outer surface of the medical device. The biosensor measures electrochemical changes adjacent to the medical implant. Further, a method of manufacturing a medical implant with a biosensor for use in vivo and a method of integrating a biosensor with a medical implant for use in monitoring conductivity and electrochemical changes adjacent to the medical implant are disclosed.
