Vascular tissue engineering: investigation of endothelial cell function by Heng, Jolyn Xiuhui

“…In this study, defined polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers of different fiber diameters were treated with NaOH and adsorbed with gelatin to investigate cell attachment efficiency and growth rate. The findings revealed that gelatin adsorbed surfaces does not favour EC proliferation well and led to performing the next modification which is 1 M NaOH treatment for 4 h, 16 h, and 24 h for the PCL surfaces. 1 M NaOH treatment was first performed to improve the hydrophilicity of PCL. …”

Tailoring the angular and spectral reflectance characteristics of color-dynamic films by modifying their photonic texture and topcoat roughness by Blair, Andrew D.

“…The model is verified with data obtained by imaging the angular scattering distribution and spectroscopic analysis of four representative combinations of photonic texture and surface coat roughness. The findings presented in this thesis validate the hypothesis that controlling texture of the photonic film and roughness of its topcoat allows for tailoring the visual appearance of structurally colored materials. …”
