  • Surface Characterization of Engineered Biomaterials

    Creator:
    Faase, Ryan A.
    Abstract:
    The work presented in this dissertation highlights the various techniques available to characterize the increasingly complex surfaces of engineered biomaterials. The methods used range from the simple measurement of a contact angle with a smartphone to a complex synchrotron technique like near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy to...

  • Investigating the Hemocompatibility of Blood-Contacting Biomaterials

    Creator:
    Hummel, Madeleine H.
    Abstract:
    Surface-associated thrombosis is a critical concern in medical device development. Current extracorporeal circulation units require systemic anticoagulation to avoid thrombosis, which can cause adverse effects such as thrombocytopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperkalemia. To address this issue, we combine the technology of polydopamine (PDA) functionalization with slippery liquid infused porous surfaces (SLIPS)....

  • Reversible Covalent Immobilization of Desferrioxamine B (DFOB) on Aminated Polystyrene Beads for Citrate-Bound Fe(III) Chelation

    Creator:
    Touma, Jad G.
    Abstract:
    The immobilization of chelators to solid supports has recently gained renewed interest due to the increasing biomedical and environmental applications made possible by these molecules’ ability to bind Fe(III) and other metal ions. The uses of immobilized chelators have expanded to include the treatment of metal overload in serum, the...

  • Controlled Orientation of Engineered Carbonic Anhydrase on a Surface : A Model for Protein Immobilization for Biosensors and Biomaterials

    Creator:
    Brown, Wesley
    Abstract:
    Current protein immobilization techniques lack defined control over protein orientation. Protein orientation is important for making biosensors and biomaterials that are sensitive and efficient and can be crucial for designing some devices such as immunosensors or direct electron transferring biocells. A new method of protein immobilization is proposed that takes...

  • Bioactive glass filled resin composites : mechanical properties and resistance to secondary tooth decay

    Creator:
    Khvostenko, Dmytro
    Abstract:
    Dental resin composites are widely used in modern dentistry due to their aesthetic appearance. However, resin based restorations have inferior mechanical properties (fracture is the second reason for restorations replacement) in comparison to alloy based composites and their antimicrobial properties still remain poor, leading to secondary tooth decay development on...

  • Fibrinogen adsorption at heparinized silica interfaces : history dependence and adsorption time effects

    Creator:
    Lee, Hyo Jin
    Abstract:
    Heparin was modified with adipic diliydrazide and covalently linked to surface-activated silica. Contact angle measurements were made to determine changes in surface at various stages of the derivatization. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to analyze the elemental composition of the surface at each step of immobilizing heparin as well and...

    Baer, Adela S., 1931-
    Abstract:
    The Orang Asli are the first people of the Malayo-Thai Peninsula. The first edition of the Orang Asli biomedical bibliography was appended in a book; the second edition was part of a general bibliography on Orang Asli. This third edition includes more recent studies but is also timely because Orang...

  • Bulletin 7 (Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission)

    Creator:
    Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission
    Abstract:
    This issue of the PMFC bulletin focuses primarily on the English sole, including results of tagging off of various coasts and studies of various populations of English sole. It also gives a review of sablefish tagging in California and details the Oregon trawl fishery for mink food up to 1965.

  • Synthesis and function of bioactive, block copolymer surfactant constructs as relevant to the preparation of anticoagulant and antibacterial medical implant surfaces.

    Creator:
    Joshi, Pranav R.
    Abstract:
    Nisin, an antibacterial peptide proven to be an effective inhibitor of Gram-positive bacteria, was incorporated into novel block copolymer constructs and tested for retained antibacterial activity. Covalent coupling was achieved by chemical modification of the N-terminal isoleucine to introduce a thiol group. Thiolated nisin derivatives were then linked to poly[ethylene...

  • Quantification of total and plastic 3D strain fields within micro-damaged polyurethane foam

    Creator:
    Sutton, Matthew T.
    Abstract:
    Local material damage that occurs within cellular solids, such as polymer foams and trabecular bone, and precedes local fractures of the cell struts or walls is called micro-damage. The accumulation of micro-damage within cellular solids is often undesirable, although it is thought to be vital to the development and health...
