  • Polymer film-producing methods and devices produced therefrom
    Patent number: 9236160
    Abstract: Described herein are improved methods of forming polymer films, the polymer films formed thereby, and electronic devices formed form the polymer films. The methods generally include contacting a polymer with a solvent to at least partially solvate the polymer in the solvent, exposing the at least partially solvated polymer and solvent to ultrasonic energy for a duration effective to form a plurality of ordered assemblies of the polymer in the solvent, and forming a solid film of the polymer, wherein the solid film comprises the plurality of ordered assemblies of the polymer.

  • Biomolecular coating for implants
    Patent number: 8445006
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for improving tissue growth and device integration in vivo. Substrates and devices coated with an ?2?1 or ?5?1 integrin-specific ligand are provided. The substrates and devices coated with an ?2?1 or ?5?1 integrin-specific ligand are shown to have greater tissue formation on the surface relative to controls, in particular greater bone formation.
