Development and characterization of collagen type I and hyaluronic acid (HA) based interlaced scaffolds for tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVS) by Nazir, R

“…This thesis, therefore, is the first attempt to develop interlaced scaffolds from collagen type I and hyaluronic acid (HA), polymers found in the natural valve, via a modified carbodiimide based crosslinking technique. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) and images of Alcian blue – Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) stained samples suggested that our crosslinking technique yielded an ECM mimicking microstructure with interlaced bands of collagen and HA in the hybrid scaffolds. …”

Rapid eye movement sleep deprivation induces vascular endothelial dysfunction in rats: roles of oxidative stress-mediated nitric oxide signalling and vitamin c supplementation by Nawi, Afifah

SPP/LSP coupled hybrid mode directed multi-functional surface-enhanced Raman system by Du, Luping

“…Our method takes advantage of SERS from a single nanosphere-film junction where the enhancement factor is determined by the longitudinal component of coupled SPPs between the nanosphere and metal film. By scanning the nanosphere immobilized on the film over the propagation region of SPPs, We can map out the near-field SPP longitudinal field with super-resolution. …”

Study of lithium-ion battery anodes based on silicon nanostructures by Fan, Yu

“…With the spherical Ni particle support, the Si coating is able to expand/contract along radial direction of Ni cores to release its internal stress through out-of-plane directions, instead of accumulating a large in-plane stress. Scanning electron microscopy images show that the cone array still adheres to the substrate after cycling and some cracks have developed along boundaries of the cones to help release internal stress, while the Si cones show no crack or pulverization. …”
