  • Cellular response to surface with nanoscale heterogeneous rigidity
    Patent number: 10550365
    Abstract: An elastomeric substrate comprises a surface with regions of heterogeneous rigidity, wherein the regions are formed by exposing the elastomeric substrate to an energy source to form the regions such that the regions include a rigidity pattern comprising spots.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 10, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 4, 2020
    Assignee: The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York

  • STRUCTURES HAVING AN ADJUSTED MECHANICAL PROPERTY
    Publication number: 20110111178
    Abstract: In various embodiments, the properties of a cross-linkable polymer can be changed by modifying the degree of cross-linking. The degree of cross-linking can be modified on a localized basis using lithographic patterns in which the cross-linkable polymer can be selectively and controllably subjected to charged particles or electromagnetic radiation. The modification of the degree of cross-linking can be applied to substrates having surfaces with varying geometric forms.
