Abstract: An organic-based magnet is formed by molecular layer deposition (MLD) of a first compound and MLD of a second compound. The first or second compound containing a metal-containing compound. The first and second compounds being reactive with each other to form a first layer organic-based magnet. A laminate composite includes a first monolayer including a metal bonded to a magnet forming organic compound. A second monolayer may be in direct contact with the first monolayer. One of the first monolayer and the second monolayer having an induced magnetization when exposed to a magnetic field. A device includes the laminate composite and a nonmagnetic film thereon. A method of making an organic magnet on a substrate in a vacuum chamber includes depositing a first layer of metal-containing compound on the substrate by MLD.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a method for regulating cellular and tissue physiology, a device for practicing the method, and a process for fabricating the device. In general the process comprises the steps of providing at least one patterned electrode, providing a least one cell, placing the at least one electrode in electrical communication with the at least one cell, and applying a voltage to the electrode thereby delivering an effective amount of a patterned electric field or current thus regulating the physiology and/or growth of the at least one cell.

Abstract: A system for continuous in vivo biosensing of specific analyte molecule concentrations based on the dynamic optical properties of electronic polymers is disclosed. The biosensor system includes at least one implant member subcutaneously exposed to the interstitial fluid of the subject, and a reader member at least temporarily positioned over the implant member to probe it with light of specific wavelengths through the skin. The system has many potential applications, including the real-time monitoring of blood glucose levels in diabetics as a method to supplement or replace conventional capillary blood testing.

Abstract: Novel, simple methods are presented directed to the synthesis of aligned nanofibers of polyaniline and substituted derivatives on a substrate. The production of these fibers is achieved via various methods by controlling the concentration of aniline monomer or substituted aniline derivatives or an oxidant in the reaction medium and maintaining said concentration at a level much lower than conventional polyaniline synthesis methods. Methods are disclosed relating to the use of a permeable membrane to control the release of a monomer and/or oxidant as well as a bulk polymerization method.
