From an engineering point of view, prediction of fatigue crack nucleation in automotive rubber parts is an essential prerequisite for the design of new components. We have derived a new predictor for fatigue crack nucleation in rubber. It is…
-
Damage mechanisms of elastomeric matrix composites (EMCs), propose a complex interplay between material properties and service conditions. The occurrence of defects such as the cavitations in EMCs specimens in using conditions is an important…

Biodegradable poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)(pHEMA) hydrogels for engineered tissue constructs were developed by the use of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), a degradable cross-linker, and a macroinitiator. Hydrogels are appropriate…

Porous scaffold containing 30 wt% nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) and 70 wt% polyurethane (PU) from castor oil was prepared by a foaming method and investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared absorption (FTIR), scanning…

Streptomyces strain La 7 was isolated from the banquete of a city high way in Karlsruhe. According to partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing it was identical with Streptomyces albogriseolus and Streptomyces viridodiastaticus. DNA-DNA-similarity studies…

The response of adhesive joints to three fatigue regimes, namely; constant amplitude sinusoidal loading (standard fatigue, SF), cyclic in-plane impacts (impact-fatigue, IF) and a combination of the two (CSIF), has been investigated. The samples used…
-
Generation 2 polypropyleneimine octaamine dendrimers were used to generate highly crosslinked collagen with mechanical properties that would make it appropriate for use as a corneal tissue-engineering scaffold. Crosslinking of a highly concentrated…
-
Since the pioneering work dealing with the synthesis and physicochemical aspects of dendrimers, a predictable and tunable set of compositions for therapeutic, scaffolding and imaging systems has been reported. These are well documented, but many hot…

The application of nanotechnology in medicine and pharmaceuticals is a rapidly advancing field that is quickly gaining acceptance and recognition as an independent area of research called "nanomedicine". Urgent needs in this field, however, are…
-
Tissue engineered constructs must exhibit tissue-like functional properties, including mechanical behavior comparable to the native tissues they are intended to replace. Moreover, the ability to reversibly undergo large strains can help to promote…
-
Tissue engineering is a concept whereby cells are taken from a patient, their number expanded and seeded on a scaffold. The appropriate stimuli (chemical, biological, mechanical and electrical) are applied and over a relatively short time new tissue…

As the computer game industry grows, game capabilities and designs are being re-used for purposes other than entertainment. The study of 'Serious Games', i.e. games for education and policy making, is of growing interest in many sectors. This SIG…

Biodegradable glucose-sensitive in situ gelling system based on chitosan for pulsatile delivery of insulin was developed. The sols/gels were thoroughly characterized for swelling properties, rheology, texture analysis and water content. The…
-
Design of nanoparticles integrating biomaterials that govern the functional behavior of orally dosed insulin is focused on improving insulin stability and absorption by facilitating its uptake and translocation throughout the intestinal membrane,…
-
We developed novel acrylic-based polymers that can be used as mucoadhesive delivery systems. Poly(acrylic acid) hydrogels were modified by grafting adhesion promoter chains such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) onto their back-bone chains, thus…
-
ABSTRACT: Hydrogels containing tetraprotic acid moi- eties sensitive to pH changes of the swelling medium were prepared from the ternary systems acrylamide/ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid/water by irradiation with -rays at ambient temperature. Gel…
-
The ability to tailor the properties of semiconductor nanocrystals through creating core/shell heterostructures is the cornerstone for their diverse application in nanotechnology. The band-offsets between the heterostructure components are…

We address three problems that limit the use of the atomic force microscope when measuring elastic moduli of soft materials at microscopic scales. The first concerns the use of sharp cantilever tips, which typically induce local strains that far…
