Plasma Surface Modification of Chitosan Membranes: Characterization and Preliminary Cell Response Studies.
Surface modification of biomaterials is a way to tailor cell responses whilst retaining the bulk properties. In this work, chitosan membranes were prepared by solvent casting and treated with nitrogen or argon plasma at 20 W for 10-40 min. AFM indicated […]
Chemical Conjugation of Linear and Cyclic RGD Moieties to a Recombinant Elastin-Mimetic Polypeptide - A Versatile Approach towards Bioactive Protein Hydrogels.
An elastin-mimetic polypeptide, (EMM)(7), with the amino-acid sequence GRDPSS [VPGVG VPGKG VPGVG VPGVG VPGEG VPGIG](7) was used for chemical conjugation of various integrin ligands (RGD peptides) to prepare bioactive hydrogels. The chemical […]

Mesoporous Carbon Materials: Synthesis and Modification.
Porous carbon materials are of interest in many applications because of their high surface area and physicochemical properties. Conventional syntheses can only produce randomly porous materials, with little control over the pore-size distributions, let alone mesostructures. Recent breakthroughs in the preparation of other porous materials have resulted […]
