Assessing biocompatibility of materials for implantable microelectrodes using cytotoxicity and protein adsorption studies

Removal of Cr 6+ ions from water by electrosorption on modified activated carbon fibre felt

“…Electrode material is a key factor in the electrosorption technique. The electrode for electrosorption is required to have high electrical conductivity, large specific surface area and stable electrochemical performance [ 15 ]. Johnson et al .…”

Applications of Nanotechnology to the Brain and Central Nervous System

“…In the fi eld of imaging, studies have used electron microscopy tools to explore nanoscale features of nerve growth and attachment and rates of bacterial growth on both diverse implant materials and diversely structured implant interfaces (Brors et al 2002 ;Selvakumaran et al 2002 ;Pawlowki et al 2005 ) . Other studies have explored the degradation of implant materials over time, examining rates of degradation and affect on signal transmission between nerve and implant (Mlynski et al 2007 ;Trabandt et al 2005 ) .…”

Analysis of laser fabricated microjoint performance in cerebrospinal fluid using a computational approach

“…titanium), non-metals (silicon, glass) and polymers (e.g. polyimide) (Cameron et al, 1998;Fulzele et al, 2003;Malmstrom et al, 1998;Prigent et al, 1998;Quester et al, 2003;Scribner et al, 2003;Selvakumaran et al, 2002). For encapsulating the implant devices, some of these materials must be hermetically joined in similar or dissimilar combinations.…”
