“…Most of the surface modification work in the literature has been focusing on the modification of device surfaces or thin films [117][118][119][120]. Our group recently developed a few techniques to effectively modify the internal pore surfaces of 3D porous polymer scaffolds.…”

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is an exciting research area that aims at regenerative alternatives to harvested tissues for transplantation. Biomaterials play a pivotal role as scaffolds to provide three-dimensional templates and synthetic extracellular-matrix environments for tissue regeneration. It is often beneficial for the scaffolds to mimic certain advantageous characteristics of the natural extracellular matrix, or developmental or would healing programs. This article reviews current biomimetic materials approaches in tissue engineering. These include synthesis to achieve certain compositions or properties similar to those of the extracellular matrix, novel processing technologies to achieve structural features mimicking the extracellular matrix on various levels, approaches to emulate cell-extracellular matrix interactions, and biologic delivery strategies to recapitulate a signaling cascade or developmental/would-healing program. The article also provides examples of enhanced cellular/tissue functions and regenerative outcomes, demonstrating the excitement and significance of the biomimetic materials for tissue engineering and regeneration.

“…by preventing the aggregation of nanoparticles which can occur due to their high interfacial reactivity and high surface tension energy, and by improving the compatibility between nanoparticles and polymer, which is usually accomplished after the adequate surface modification of nanoparticles. The most common way to modify the surface of nanoparticles, control nanoparticles aggregation and stabilize the colloidal nanoparticles is to attach suitable organic groups to the surface atoms of nanoparticles [15][16][17]. After the appropriate surface modification, nanoparticles become hydrophobic, which can decrease their surface tension and lead to better miscibility and compatibility of nanoparticles with the polymer matrix [18].…”

TiO 2 nanoparticles, obtained by acid catalyzed hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide, were surface modified by three gallic acid esters with different hydrophobic part length: octyl, decyl and lauryl gallate, and then used to prepare TiO 2 /epoxy nanocomposites. The characterization of the surface modified TiO 2 nanoparticles was performed by FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The influence of different gallic acid esters and content of modified TiO 2 nanoparticles on the glass transition temperature (Tg), rheological, barrier and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites was investigated by DSC, DMA, water vapor permeability test and König pendulum. The presence of the surface modified TiO 2 nanoparticles in epoxy resin caused the increase of Tg and decrease of the water vapor permeability. However, the length of the nonpolar gallate part showed no effect on Tg of the synthesized nanocomposites, while the increase of the nanofiller content resulted in the increase of Tg. With increasing the hydrophobic part chain length of gallate ligand, the water vapor transmission rate decreased, while the hardness of the nanocomposites did not change.

“…An aperture could then be created through the centre of the channel by SACE. To 2 Lipid bilayers are typically formed by self-assembly of an initially thick lipid-solvent film, which will have a monolayer of amphipathic lipid molecules at each of its aqueous interfaces [23]. As previously noted, thinning of the lipid-solvent film arises primarily from the wetting of the hydrophobic support by the organic solvent.…”

“…This is due to the bilayer formation process relying upon surface-tensioninduced drainage of the non-polar solvent (decane in this case) to thin the initially thick lipid-solvent layer down to that of a lipid bilayer. Silane coupling agents are widely used for modifying the surface chemistry of glass substrates [23], as the silane anchor group (which couples to surface hydroxyl groups via siloxy linkages) can be attached to a wide variety of functional groups. In PF-TCS, the silane group is linked to a hydrophobic, fluorinated carbon chain.…”

The use of spark assisted chemical engraving (SACE) to produce glass apertures that are suitable for the formation of artificial bilayer lipid membranes is described. Prior to use, the glass apertures were rendered hydrophobic by a silanization process and were then incorporated into a simple microfluidic device. Successful bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) formation and the subsequent acquisition of single-channel recordings are demonstrated. Due to the simplicity and rapidity of the SACE process, these glass apertures could be easily integrated into an all-glass microfluidic system for BLM formation.
