Abstract: Abstract We demonstrate that Nature-inspired lotus-like non-wetting phenomena can also be used in the field of controlled drug delivery. Hydrophobically modified, and cellulose microparticle roughened polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) biopolymer based thin films were synthetised and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3233/bme-171687
Abstract: The physical properties of biocompatible titanium surfaces were modified using different techniques of surface treatment. Particularly the measurements of roughness and wetting ability were controlled using six different techniques: polishing, sandblasting, acid attack, laser ablation,… read more here.
