This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surface of materials is routinely exposed to various environmental influences. Surface modification presents a technological challenge for material scientists, physicists, and engineers, particularly when those surfaces are subjected to function within human body environment. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the major issues and topics dealing with interaction of soft living matter with the surface of implants. Fundamental scientific concepts are embedded through experimental data and a broad range of case studies. First chapters cover the basics on biocompatibility of many different thin films of metals, alloys, ceramics, hydrogels, and polymers, following with case studies dealing with orthopedic and dental coatings. Next, a novel and low-cost coating deposition technique capable of production of several types of nanostructures is introduced through simple calculations and several illustrations. Moreover, chapter 6 and 7 present important topics on surface treatment of polymers, which is a subject that has seen many developments over the past decade. The last chapters target mainly the applications of coatings in biology such as in bio-sensing, neuroscience, and cancer detection. With several illustrations, micrographs, and case studies along with suitable references in each chapter, this book will be essential for graduate students and researchers in the multidisciplinary field of bio-coatings.

Download or read book Thin Films Preparation Characterization Applications written by Manuel P. Soriaga and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about thin films; what they are, how they are prepared, how they are characterized, and what they are used for. The contents of this book not only showcase the diversity of thin films, but also reveals the commonality among the work performed in a variety of areas. The chapters in this volume are based on invited papers presented by prominent researchers in the field at a Symposium on "Thin Films: Preparation, Characterization, Applications" at the 221st National Meeting of the American Chemical Society held in San Diego, California. The coverage of the symposium was extensive; topics ranged from highly-ordered metal adlayers on well-defined electrode surfaces to bio-organic films on non-metallic nanoparticles. An objective of this book is for the readers to be able to draw from the experience and results of others in order to improve and expand the understanding of the science and technology of their own thin films systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work presented in this thesis focuses on the development and characterization of functionalized thin films. The thesis comprises two main sections. The first section describes polymer-based coatings/films that can be easily handled and placed onto relevant biomedical surfaces to release antibacterial, antibiofilm, or anesthetic agents. The second section discusses films of monolayers of oligopeptides/ proteins that provide control of the recruitment of water from ambient air or that can be functional in the absence of bulk water. The first section demonstrates a facile method using micrometer-thick sacrificial polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films to transfer ultra-thin polyelectrolyte multilayer films (PEMs) onto soft biomedically-relevant surfaces (e.g. wound beds and biological dressings). Surfaces of wounds that were engineered to provide nanolocalized sustained delivery of an antibacterial agent (silver) was found to kill bacteria of Staphyloccocus aureus on mice wounds at sufficiently low doses that tissue toxicity was avoided. We showed that an antibiofilm agent (Ga3+) can be incorporated into PEMs (formed from polyallyl amine hydrochloride (PAH) and polyacrylic acid (PAA)). The relase of Ga3+ from the PEMs can be slowed down by cross-linking the PEMs (forming amide bonds between PAH and PAA). Using sacrificial PVA films, the cross-linked PEMs can be transferred onto biological dressings to release Ga3+ for up to 3 weeks. The Ga3+ released from the dressings is capable of inhibiting formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms for up to 4 days. The sacrificial PVA films can also be used to transfer (stack) multiple PEMs (Ag+- and Ga3+-loaded PEMs as representative PEMs) to wound dressings, thereby creating a stacked structure. Simultaneous release of agents was shown to lead to synergistic effects on bacteria biofilms (killing and dispersing biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa). We also developed microfilm constructs consisting of PEMs, PVA, and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) to co-deliver controlled doses of Ag+ (from PEM) and bupivacaine (an anesthetic agent, from PVA layer) that causes no toxicity to fibroblasts in vitro or in mice wounds but still provides antibacterial activity. These results represent a significant step toward the implementation of functional coatings on biomedically-relevant surfaces. The modular nature of the construction of the stacked PEMs and microfilm construct provides an opportunity to design multi-functional coatings that are not limited to antimicrobial purposes. The second section introduces design principles for films of oligopeptides and proteins (immobilized on surfaces). These films recruit water from ambient air or demonstrate functionality even in the absence of bulk water. Water recruitment from ambient air to oligopeptides-decorated surfaces was found to be influenced by both (i) the amino-acid composition (especially cationic residues) and (ii) the surface densities of the oligopeptides (decreasing the surface densities of oligopeptides increases the number of water molecules recruited per residue). However, a change in the site of immobilization of oligopeptides (N- versus C-terminus of MSI-78) was found not to influence water recruitment. Amino acid compositions and surface densities of immobilized proteins (nitro-reductase and 6-phospho-[beta]-galactosidase) were measured to influence water recruitment in a manner similar to the oligopeptides. In contrast to the oligopeptides, however, a change in the site of immobilization of 6-phospho-[beta]-galactosidase altered the number of water molecules recruited per residue. Overall, the results provide guidance to the design of surfaces that recruit water from the ambient air to peptide/protein-decorated surfaces. Also in the second section of the thesis, we describe a method that can protect the secondary structure of immobilized proteins, and hence allow the biomolecules to function in air (using haloalkane dehalogenase, HLD, as a model protein). Specifically, poly-sorbitol methacrylate (PSMA) (a water-mimicking molecule) was co-immobilized with HLD. The HLD that was co-immobilized with PSMA was found to perform catalytic function at a 6-times higher rate than the protein without PSMA. PSMA appears to enhance the protein activity not by simply trapping more water, but by replacing protein-water interactions, thereby preserving the protein structure in air. These results represent a significant step toward developing a general strategy to recruit water from ambient air to biomolecules-decorated surfaces and to protect the structure of immobilized biomolecules in air.
