  • Publication number: 20170137577
    Abstract: A method of preparing tunable inorganic patterned nanofeatures by infiltration of a block copolymer scaffold having a plurality of self-assembled periodic polymer microdomains. The method may be used sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS), related to atomic layer deposition (ALD). The method includes selecting a metal precursor that is configured to selectively react with the copolymer unit defining the microdomain but is substantially non-reactive with another polymer unit of the copolymer. A tunable inorganic features is selectively formed on the microdomain to form a hybrid organic/inorganic composite material of the metal precursor and a co-reactant. The organic component may be optionally removed to obtain an inorganic feature s with patterned nanostructures defined by the configuration of the microdomain.

  • Publication number: 20170137578
    Abstract: The process includes pretreating the biomass with a first basic solution such as sodium hydroxide and mechanically altering the fibers to provide a fluidized biomass. The fluidized biomass is then subjected to high frequency pulses and shear forces without denaturing the individual components of the biomass. The biomass is then subjected to compressive force to separate a first liquid fraction from a first fractionated biomass. The first fractionated biomass may again then be subjected to the same high frequency pulses and shear forces as previously, particularly if there are hemicellulose and/or sugars still present in the first fractionated biomass. Compressive forces are used to separate a second liquid fraction from a second fractionated biomass. The second fractionated biomass is subjected to oxidation such as with hydrogen peroxide at a pH of 8 to 12.

  • Publication number: 20170137588
    Abstract: Many different substrates are used in tissue engineering as platforms to enhance cell attachment, proliferation and activity, either in-vitro, to multiply specific cell lines, or in-vivo, to induce shorter healing time of injured or missing tissue. However, their hydrophobicity and lack of specific functionalities make them non-ideal for cell adhesion and growth. Treating the surfaces by exposing them to a series of steps including, but not limited to, a diazonium based wet chemistry allows one or more functional groups to be applied to the surface improving cell adhesion and growth. Embodiments of the invention exploiting PDLLA, PMMA and roughed PEEK are demonstrated including both a one-stage and a two-stage process, and at times a vacuum treatment, allowing modification of inner and outer surfaces.
