Neuronal activity in somatosensory cortex of monkeys using a precision grip. II. Responses To object texture and weights. (1/8297)

Three monkeys were trained to lift and hold a test object within a 12- to 25-mm position window for 1 s. The activity of single neurons was recorded during performance of the task in which both the weight and surface texture of the object were systematically varied. Whenever possible, each cell was tested with three weights (15, 65, and 115 g) and three textures (smooth metal, fine 200 grit sandpaper, and rough 60 grit sandpaper). Of 386 cells recorded in 3 monkeys, 45 cells had cutaneous receptive fields on the index or thumb or part of the thenar eminence and were held long enough to be tested in all 9 combinations of texture and weight. Recordings were made for the entire anterior-posterior extent of the thumb and index finger areas in somatosensory cortex including area 7b. However, the statistical analysis required a selection of only those cells for which nine complete recording conditions were available limiting the sample to cells in areas 2, 5, and 7b. Significant differences in the grip force accompanied 98% of the changes in texture and 78% of the changes in weight. Increasing the object weight also increased the force tangential to the skin surface as measured by the load or lifting force. The peak discharge during lifting was judged to be the most sensitive index of cell activity and was analyzed with a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). In addition, peak cell discharge was normalized to allow comparisons among different combinations of texture and weight as well as comparisons among different neurons. Overall, the peak firing frequency of 87% of the cells was significantly modulated by changes in object texture, but changes in object weight affected the peak activity of only 58% of the cells. Almost all (17/18, 94%) of the static cells were influenced by the object texture, and 81% of the dynamic cells that were active only briefly at grip and lift onset were modulated by texture. For some cells, surface texture had a significant effect on neuronal discharge that was independent of the object weight. In contrast, weight-related responses were never simple main effects of the weight alone and appeared instead as significant interactions between texture and weight. Four neurons either increased or decreased activity in a graded fashion with surface structure (roughness) regardless of the object weight (P < 0.05). Ten other neurons showed increases or decreases in response to one or two textures, which might represent either a graded response or a tuning preference for a specific texture. The firing frequency of the majority (31/45) of neurons reflected an interaction of both texture and weight. The cells with texture-related but weight-independent activities were thought to encode surface characteristics that are largely independent of the grip and lifting forces used to manipulate the object. Such constancies could be used to construct internal representations or mental models for planning and controlling object manipulation.  (+info)

The reaction of molecules confined to two dimensions is of interest in cell adhesion, specifically for the reaction between cell surface receptors and substrate-bound ligand. We have developed a model to describe the overall rate of reaction of species that are bound to surfaces under relative motion, such that the Peclet number is order one or greater. The encounter rate between reactive species is calculated from solution of the two-dimensional convection-diffusion equation. The probability that each encounter will lead to binding depends on the intrinsic rate of reaction and the encounter duration. The encounter duration is obtained from the theory of first passage times. We find that the binding rate increases with relative velocity between the two surfaces, then reaches a plateau. This plateau indicates that the increase in the encounter rate is counterbalanced by the decrease in the encounter duration as the relative velocity increases. The binding rate is fully described by two dimensionless parameters, the Peclet number and the Damkohler number. We use this model to explain data from the cell adhesion literature by incorporating these rate laws into "adhesive dynamics" simulations to model the binding of a cell to a surface under flow. Leukocytes are known to display a "shear threshold effect" when binding selectin-coated surfaces under shear flow, defined as an increase in bind rate with shear; this effect, as calculated here, is due to an increase in collisions between receptor and ligand with increasing shear. The model can be used to explain other published data on the effect of wall shear rate on the binding of cells to surfaces, specifically the mild decrease in binding within a fixed area with increasing shear rate.  (+info)

Kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of lipid translocation in biological membranes. (3/8297)

A theoretical analysis of the lipid translocation in cellular bilayer membranes is presented. We focus on an integrative model of active and passive transport processes determining the asymmetrical distribution of the major lipid components between the monolayers. The active translocation of the aminophospholipids phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine is mathematically described by kinetic equations resulting from a realistic ATP-dependent transport mechanism. Concerning the passive transport of the aminophospholipids as well as of phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and cholesterol, two different approaches are used. The first treatment makes use of thermodynamic flux-force relationships. Relevant forces are transversal concentration differences of the lipids as well as differences in the mechanical states of the monolayers due to lateral compressions. Both forces, originating primarily from the operation of an aminophospholipid translocase, are expressed as functions of the lipid compositions of the two monolayers. In the case of mechanical forces, lipid-specific parameters such as different molecular surface areas and compression force constants are taken into account. Using invariance principles, it is shown how the phenomenological coefficients depend on the total lipid amounts. In a second approach, passive transport is analyzed in terms of kinetic mechanisms of carrier-mediated translocation, where mechanical effects are incorporated into the translocation rate constants. The thermodynamic as well as the kinetic approach are applied to simulate the time-dependent redistribution of the lipid components in human red blood cells. In the thermodynamic model the steady-state asymmetrical lipid distribution of erythrocyte membranes is simulated well under certain parameter restrictions: 1) the time scales of uncoupled passive transbilayer movement must be different among the lipid species; 2) positive cross-couplings of the passive lipid fluxes are needed, which, however, may be chosen lipid-unspecifically. A comparison of the thermodynamic and the kinetic approaches reveals that antiport mechanisms for passive lipid movements may be excluded. Simulations with kinetic symport mechanisms are in qualitative agreement with experimental data but show discrepancies in the asymmetrical distribution for sphingomyelin.  (+info)

Surface-induced polymerization of actin. (4/8297)

Living cells contain a very large amount of membrane surface area, which potentially influences the direction, the kinetics, and the localization of biochemical reactions. This paper quantitatively evaluates the possibility that a lipid monolayer can adsorb actin from a nonpolymerizing solution, induce its polymerization, and form a 2D network of individual actin filaments, in conditions that forbid bulk polymerization. G- and F-actin solutions were studied beneath saturated Langmuir monolayers containing phosphatidylcholine (PC, neutral) and stearylamine (SA, a positively charged surfactant) at PC:SA = 3:1 molar ratio. Ellipsometry, tensiometry, shear elastic measurements, electron microscopy, and dark-field light microscopy were used to characterize the adsorption kinetics and the interfacial polymerization of actin. In all cases studied, actin follows a monoexponential reaction-limited adsorption with similar time constants (approximately 10(3) s). At a longer time scale the shear elasticity of the monomeric actin adsorbate increases only in the presence of lipids, to a 2D shear elastic modulus of mu approximately 30 mN/m, indicating the formation of a structure coupled to the monolayer. Electron microscopy shows the formation of a 2D network of actin filaments at the PC:SA surface, and several arguments strongly suggest that this network is indeed causing the observed elasticity. Adsorption of F-actin to PC:SA leads more quickly to a slightly more rigid interface with a modulus of mu approximately 50 mN/m.  (+info)

Adhesion energy of receptor-mediated interaction measured by elastic deformation. (5/8297)

We investigated the role of receptor binding affinity in surface adhesion. A sensitive technique was developed to measure the surface energy of receptor-mediated adhesion. The experimental system involved a functionalized elastic agarose bead resting on a functionalized glass coverslip. Attractive intersurface forces pulled the two surfaces together, deforming the bead to produce an enlarged contact area. The Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) model was used to relate the surface energy of the interaction to the elasticity of the bead and the area of contact. The surface energies for different combinations of modified surfaces in solution were obtained from reflection interference contrast microscopy (RICM) measurements of the contact area formed by the bead and the coverslip. Studies with surfaces functionalized with ligand-receptor pairs showed that the relationship between surface energy and the association constant of the ligand binding has two regimes. At low binding affinity, surface energy increased linearly with the association constant, while surface energy increased logarithmically with the association constant in the high affinity regime.  (+info)

Bacteriophage inactivation at the air-water-solid interface in dynamic batch systems. (6/8297)

Bacteriophages have been widely used as surrogates for human enteric viruses in many studies on virus transport and fate. In this investigation, the fates of three bacteriophages, MS2, R17, and phiX174, were studied in a series of dynamic batch experiments. Both MS2 and R17 readily underwent inactivation in batch experiments where solutions of each phage were percolated through tubes packed with varying ratios of glass and Teflon beads. MS2 and R17 inactivation was the result of exposure to destructive forces at the dynamic air-water-solid interface. phiX174, however, did not undergo inactivation in similar studies, suggesting that this phage does not accumulate at air-water interfaces or is not affected by interfacial forces in the same manner. Other batch experiments showed that MS2 and R17 were increasingly inactivated during mixing in polypropylene tubes as the ionic strength of the solution was raised (phiX174 was not affected). By the addition of Tween 80 to suspensions of MS2 and R17, phage inactivation was prevented. Our data suggest that viral inactivation in simple dynamic batch experiments is dependent upon (i) the presence of a dynamic air-water-solid interface (where the solid is a hydrophobic surface), (ii) the ionic strength of the solution, (iii) the concentration of surface active compounds in the solution, and (iv) the type of virus used.  (+info)

Native display of complete foreign protein domains on the surface of hepatitis B virus capsids. (7/8297)

The nucleocapsid of hepatitis B virus (HBV), or HBcAg, is a highly symmetric structure formed by multiple dimers of a single core protein that contains potent T helper epitopes in its 183-aa sequence. Both factors make HBcAg an unusually strong immunogen and an attractive candidate as a carrier for foreign epitopes. The immunodominant c/e1 epitope on the capsid has been suggested as a superior location to convey high immunogenicity to a heterologous sequence. Because of its central position, however, any c/e1 insert disrupts the core protein's primary sequence; hence, only peptides, or rather small protein fragments seemed to be compatible with particle formation. According to recent structural data, the epitope is located at the tips of prominent surface spikes formed by the very stable dimer interfaces. We therefore reasoned that much larger inserts might be tolerated, provided the individual parts of a corresponding fusion protein could fold independently. Using the green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a model insert, we show that the chimeric protein efficiently forms fluorescent particles; hence, all of its structurally important parts must be properly folded. We also demonstrate that the GFP domains are surface-exposed and that the chimeric particles elicit a potent humoral response against native GFP. Hence, proteins of at least up to 238 aa can be natively displayed on the surface of HBV core particles. Such chimeras may not only be useful as vaccines but may also open the way for high resolution structural analyses of nonassembling proteins by electron microscopy.  (+info)

Affinity modulation of small-molecule ligands by borrowing endogenous protein surfaces. (8/8297)

A general strategy is described for improving the binding properties of small-molecule ligands to protein targets. A bifunctional molecule is created by chemically linking a ligand of interest to another small molecule that binds tightly to a second protein. When the ligand of interest is presented to the target protein by the second protein, additional protein-protein interactions outside of the ligand-binding sites serve either to increase or decrease the affinity of the binding event. We have applied this approach to an intractable target, the SH2 domain, and demonstrate a 3-fold enhancement over the natural peptide. This approach provides a way to modulate the potency and specificity of biologically active compounds.  (+info)

Self-assembly and steric stabilization at heterogeneous, biological surfaces using adsorbing block copolymersSelf-assembly and steric stabilization at heterogeneous, biological surfaces using adsorbing block copolymers
BACKGROUND: We present the synthesis, characterization and initial structure-function analysis of a new class of bioactive agent that allows the application of techniques from colloid science to biological surfaces. Stable colloidal suspensions can be generated by immobilizing a dense brush of soluble polymer at the colloidal surface, creating a zone protected against the adhesion of approaching particles, a phenomenon termed polymeric steric stabilization. This is often accomplished for aqueous colloidal dispersions using adsorbing block copolymers. We demonstrate that water-soluble block copolymers can be designed to adsorb onto heterogeneous biological surfaces and block cell-cell and cell-surface adhesion, using polymer compositions and architectures that are quite different from surfactants used for stabilizing nonbiological colloidal dispersions. RESULTS: Comb copolymers were synthesized having polycationic backbones (poly-L-lysine, PLL), serving as the anchor for binding to the net ...

As an example, because of its high wear resistance, low moisture absorption and high chemical resistance, poly(ether ether ketone) is commonly used as a biomaterial in the healthcare and biomedical industries. However, poly(ether ether ketone) surface properties are not optimum for efficient or enhanced bio-functionality, leading it to have somewhat inferior wettability and adhesion characteristics.

382ai) Novel and Scalable Approach to Biphilic Patterned Surface for Water Condensation Heat Transfer | AIChE382ai) Novel and Scalable Approach to Biphilic Patterned Surface for Water Condensation Heat Transfer | AIChE
Superhydrophobic-superhydrophilic patterned surface is widely investigated due to its combination of fast water nucleation and efficient droplet departure, which are important factors to lower interfacial thermal resistance and then enhancing water harvesting efficiency. Preparation methods used nowadays are photolithography, inkjet printing, sol-gel and so on, which either involves complicated and non-scalable procedures or is not able to prepare well-defined patterns. This work demonstrates a facile surface engineering method to prepare superhydrophilic patterns on superhydrophobic substrate which is grown with closely packed TiO2 nanorods. The pattern size can be well controlled by using different masks under UV shinning. With different UV irradiation time, patterns with microscale and nanoscale sizes are able to prepare. The relationship between pattern size and its water harvesting efficiency is studied. Preliminary result shows that the water collection rate of biphilic patterned surface ...

Surface Finish in Metal Additive Manufacturing « FabbalooSurface Finish in Metal Additive Manufacturing « Fabbaloo
Wire-fed DED processes, based on established welding methods, can rapidly and cost-effectively produce large, complex, near net shape components. They key advantage of DED processes is the rapid deposition rate, although this also creates some issues. The speed of deposition means that heat dissipation becomes an issue, meaning post-process heat treatments are often required for stress relief and distortion may occur.. The large melt pool also results in weld-bead shaped deposits, meaning the entire surface of DED parts is normally machined. Less invasive surface finish improvement is therefore not relevant to these processes.. PBF processes give an as-deposited surface finish that can be acceptable for many applications. They can also produce fine features with intricate detail. This all means that fully machining the surfaces would not be appropriate. These processes use a laser or electron beam to fuse metallic powder in a powder bed.. The surface finish obtained is related to the powder ...

Ubiquinone and plastoquinone are two of the main electron and proton shuttle molecules in biological systems, and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is the most abundant lipid in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. Saturated MGDG, ubiquinone-10 (UQ) and MGDG:UQ mixed monolayers at the air/water interface have been studied using surface pressure-area isotherms and Brewster Angle Microscopy. Moreover, the transferred Langmuir-Blodgett films have been observed by Atomic Force Microscopy. The results show that MGDG:UQ mixtures present more fluid phase than pure MGDG, indicating a higher order degree for the later. It is also observed an important influence of UQ on the MGDG matrix before UQ collapse pressure and a low influence after this event, due to UQ expulsion from the MGDG matrix. This expulsion leads to a similar remaining UQ content for all the tested mixtures, indicating a limiting content of this molecule in the MGDG matrix at high surface pressures. The thermodynamic studies confirm ...

Flagellate grazing on bacteria with different surface properties.The present study demonstrated that three common species of freshwater nanoflagellates fed on bacteria having very different physicochemical surface properties at comparable rates. Differences in the electrostatic surface charges of the bacteria did not influence the flagellate feeding rates. Moreover, we found no evidence that less hydrophobic bacteria are less vunerable to ingestion by flagellates. The twofold variation in the feeding rates for each flagellate species was related neither to CSH values measured by the BATH assay nor to the HIC index. Bacterial cell size did not influence the outcome.. Zeta potentials revealed that all of the test bacteria had negative net charges, and the values were within the range of values found for other bacterial isolates (13, 52). Lower ingestion rates for highly negatively charged particles were not observed. To date, this phenomenon has been described only by Hammer et al. (23), who ...

Immobilization of Proteins on a Functionalized Surface for Natural Conformation and Optimal Activity - Skysong InnovationsImmobilization of Proteins on a Functionalized Surface for Natural Conformation and Optimal Activity - Skysong Innovations
Two-dimensional microarrays have proven useful for a wide range of applications, from ELISA microarrays to basic protein research. However, attaching an antibody, enzyme, or other protein to a functionalized surface is not without its problems. Antibodies are costly and time-consuming to produce and screen, and the process of attaching a protein often alters its conformation. Thus, there is a need for a simple, rapid and inexpensive method to produce a surface with a high density of binding sites, and which orients and binds the protein in its native form (or other desired conformation). Researchers at Arizona State University have developed a novel, automated method to identify short polypeptides which bind the protein of interest, and then quickly and inexpensively produce a surface functionalized with such polypeptides. This surface binds the molecule of interest non-covalently, additionally allowing control of the molecular orientation. This method does not require antibodies, biotin or his ...

Although the surface is dominated by the silica phase (up to 70 at %), the electrophoretic mobility response in aqueous KCl electrolytes is complex and exhibits three points of charge reversal over the pH range 3-11. These phenomena correspond to an apparent point of zero charge of the surface at about pH 5 (which varies with surface composition), a point of charge reversal (which is independent of surface composition) at pH 7 due to the adsorption of FeOH+ ions originating from the substrate, and an isoelectric point at pH 7.6 due to transformation of an essentially siliceous surface to ...

Hydrophobic interactions were dominant in the low Nc (number density of surface carboxyl groups) region, below 1 carboxyl group nm-2, and were relatively sensitive to pH, while hydrogen bonding was dominant in the high Nc region, above 2 carboxyl groups nm-2, irrespective of pH.

Surface Patterning of Nanoparticles with Polymer Patches | MRSECSurface Patterning of Nanoparticles with Polymer Patches | MRSEC
We demonstrate nanoparticle surface patterning, which utilizes thermodynamically driven segregation of polymer ligands from a uniform polymer brush into surface pinned micelles following a change in solvent quality. Patch formation is reversible but can be permanently preserved using a photocrosslinking step. The methodology offers the ability to control the dimensions of patches, their spatial distribution and the number of patches per nanoparticle, in agreement with a theoretical model. The versatility of the strategy is demonstrated by patterning nanoparticles with different dimensions, shapes and compositions, tethered with various types of polymers and subjected to different external stimuli. These patchy nanocolloids have potential applications in fundamental research, the self-assembly of nanomaterials, diagnostics, sensing and colloidal stabilization.. ...

Capillary driven separation on patterned surfaces | NanoLundCapillary driven separation on patterned surfaces | NanoLund
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a powerful bimodal separation scheme [1] based on fluid flow through regular obstacle arrays that in its basic embodiment sends suspended particles in two different directions as a function of size. We show that without the need to seal devices and without the need for fluidic connections or pumps, particle separation can be achieved by the passive flow of a sample over a patterned surface. Risk of clogging is minimized by the movement of large particles above the obstacle array. Suitable application areas include blood fractionation and analysis of drinking water. 0. ...

Biofilms] Re: Surface energy - meaning?Biofilms] Re: Surface energy - meaning?
Surface energy is a measure of disruption of chemical bonds that occurs when a surface is created. Most of the hydrophobic surfaces are known to show low surface energy values. It is also well known that hydrophobicity has a role in cell attachment to the surface and biofilm formation. As the biofilm progresses the adhesion is higher and chemical bonding is more hence lower the surface energy. Few studies were carried out on adhesion of biological systems such as proteins, microbes, algae and invertebrates. They all show minimal long-term adhesion associated with surfaces having low energy surfaces. However, all surfaces rapidly become modified on immersion in natural waters through the adsorption of conditioning films, which may influence subsequent adhesive events associated with the permanent attachment of organisms. The results show that surface energy can elicit different responses in different organisms. For most organisms, minimal adhesion is associated with low surface energy. According ...

Drug-eluting stents (DESs) have been used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases including stenosis. However, in-stent restenosis, thrombosis, and delayed re-endothelialization represent challenges for their clinical applications. Here, we demonstrate a novel work to overcome these limitations through surface modification technology. The cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) surface was modified with antioxidants such as gallic acid (GA) and rutin (Ru) and the corresponding persulfates derivatives (i.e., GAS, and RuS) through a simple conjugation procedure. Various analyses tools such as ATR-FTIR, XPS, water contact angle, SEM, and AFM characterized the functionalized surface. The surface characterization confirmed that the antioxidant and the additional persulfates were successfully bonded to the Co-Cr surface. The results of in vitro endothelial cells proved that the persulfates derivatives showed the highest tendency to get rapid re-endothelialization especially RuS. In addition, it showed inhibition ...

An overview of biofunctionalization of metals in Japan | Journal of The Royal Society InterfaceAn overview of biofunctionalization of metals in Japan | Journal of The Royal Society Interface
The technological evolution of ceramics and polymers during the last three decades makes it possible to apply these materials to medical devices; in fact, many metal devices have been replaced with those made of ceramics and polymers. In spite of this event, over 70 per cent of implant devices still consist of metals because of their high strength, toughness and durability. At present, it is difficult to replace the metals in medical devices with ceramics or polymers.. A disadvantage of using metals as biomaterials is that they are typically artificial materials and have no biofunction. To add biofunction to metals, surface modification is necessary because biofunction cannot be added during manufacturing processes such as melting, casting, forging and heat treatment. Surface modification is a process that changes a materials surface composition, structure and morphology, leaving the bulk mechanical properties intact. With surface modification, the tissue compatibility of the surface layer can ...

Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOFSIMS) provides elemental, chemical state and molecular information from surfaces of solid materials. TOF-SIMS is accomplished by exciting a samples surface with a finely focused ion beam which causes secondary ions and ion clusters to be emitted from the samples surface. A time-of-flight analyzer is used to measure the exact mass of the emitted ions and clusters. From the exact mass and intensity of the SIMS peak, the identity of an element or molecular fragments can be determined.. ToF-SIMS instruments typically include the following components: - An ultrahigh vacuum system, which is needed to increase the mean free path of ions liberated in the flight path; - A particle gun, that typically uses a Ga or Cs source; - The flight path, - The mass detector system.. The average depth of analysis for a TOF-SIMS measurement is approximately 1 nm. The ultimate spatial resolution can reach around 0.1 µm. Spatial distribution information is obtained by ...

Single cell imaging mass spectrometry opens up a complete new perspective for strategies in toxicological risk assessment and drug discovery. In particular, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) with its high spatial and depth resolution is becoming part of the imaging mass spectrometry toolbox used for single cell analysis. Recent instrumentation advancements in combination with newly developed cluster ion guns allow 3-dimensional reconstruction of single cells together with a spatially resolved compound location and quantification on nanoscale depth level. The exact location and quantification of a single compound or even of a set of compounds is no longer restricted to the two dimensional space within single cells, but is available for voxels, a cube-sized 3-dimensional space, rather than pixels. The information gathered from one voxel is further analysed using multivariate statistical methodology like maximum autocorrelation factors to co-locate the compounds of interest within

Surface composition age analysis of photo-oxidized polystyrene thin films by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
Polystyrene thin film surfaces are commonly used to study the interactions of macromolecules, such as proteins, with surfaces. Polystyrene films oxidized in UV light become more hydrophilic, however these surfaces have a limited shelf life because they are reduced over time. Experiments were performed to determine the effect of radiation duration and exposure time on the surface composition of photo-oxidized polystyrene thin films. Polystyrene (2 wt%) in toluene was spin-coated onto 1-cm² monocrystalline silicon squares, and annealed at 70 °C for 18 hours. Three sets of triplicate samples were irradiated in a UV-ozone cleaner for 0, 3, and 9 minutes. Film surface compositions were analyzed via X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy 6 hours after irradiation and after one week of air exposure. Overall oxidation level decreased after one week, and the oxidation structure varied with irradiation time. It is speculated that decreases in oxidation level were due to surface contamination and reduction ...

The use of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based nanocarriers presents several major challenges, including their synthetic hydrophobic surface, low transfection efficiency, short circulation half-life, and nonspecific tissue distribution. Numerous engineering strategies have been employed to overcome these problems, with lipid-based surface functionalization of PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) showing promising results in the development of PLGA-based clinical nanomedicines. Surface engineering with different lipids enhances the target specificity of the carrier and improves its physicochemical properties as well as NP-cell associations, such as cellular membrane permeability, immune responses, and long circulation half-life in vivo. This review focuses on recent advances in the lipid-based surface engineering of PLGA NPs for drug and gene delivery applications.

Static Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) | Materials Science | NRELStatic Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) | Materials Science | NREL
Static SIMS uses a pulsed primary ion beam to sputter-remove material from the top monolayer of a sample. Secondary ions are collected and focused into a reflectron time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. The combination of low primary-ion density (low surface damage) and high transmission of the TOF analyzer (high sensitivity) makes the technique extremely useful for studying the top monolayer of a surface. The large mass range of the TOF analyzer makes the instrument well suited for detecting trace levels of organic contaminants on surfaces. Depth profiling is also possible in combination with high-current, low-energy cesium and argon sputter sources. Information on chemical structure is especially useful when combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. ...

N2 - This study demonstrates that protein adsorption on end-grafted, zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine) (pSBMA) thin films depends on the grafting density, molecular weight, and ionic strength. Zwitterionic polymers exhibit ultralow nonspecific fouling (protein adsorption) and excellent biocompatibility. This picture contrasts with a recent report that soluble pSBMA chains bind proteins and alter the protein folding stability. To address this apparent contradiction, the dependence of protein adsorption on the chain grafting parameters is investigated: namely, the grafting density, molecular weight, and ionic strength. Studies compared the adsorption of phosphoglycerate kinase and positively charged lysozyme versus the scaled grafting parameter s/2RF, where s is the distance between grafting sites and RF ...

Radioactive hot particles that occur in the environment present specific challenges for health and environmental regulators as often their small size makes them difficult to detect, and they are easily dispersed and accidentally ingested or inhaled by members of the public. This study of nine hot particles recovered from the beach at Dalgety Bay, UK, uses a combination of gamma spectrometry, imaging microscopy and SEM-EDX in order to characterise their morphology and surface composition, thereby helping to identify their origin and source characteristics. The nine particles analysed showed great heterogeneity in their activities, physical form and elemental composition. The particle activities were dominated by (226)Ra and its daughters. Three distinct grouping of particles were identified based on their morphology (artefact, glassy and metal-rich), whilst four distinct groupings (artefact, glassy, angular and porphyric, rounded and highly porous) were identified based on morphology and ...

Relating Surface Viscosity to Monolayer Packing In Model Phospholipid Films Using Active Microrheology | AIChERelating Surface Viscosity to Monolayer Packing In Model Phospholipid Films Using Active Microrheology | AIChE
The reorientation of a magnetic nickel nanorod placed at the air/phospholipid interface is used to calculate the surface viscosity of spread monolayers of phospholipids, dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC) and dimyristoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (DMPE). While surface viscosity was found to depend on the surface pressure in both lipids, we detect an order of magnitude higher surface viscosity for DMPE films even in the so called liquid coexistence region. This difference is higher than that reported at higher surface pressures and is attributed to the smaller headgroup size of DMPE. The smaller size of the PE head group increases the ability of the lipid molecules to pack into more organized domains at all surface pressures. The minute changes in the morphology of the lipid film are more significant at the lower surface pressures, which contributes to a higher surface viscosity difference. Thus microrheology presents an insight into the degree of lipid organization at the air/water ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - BV-2 microglial cells sense micro-nanotextured silicon surface topology. AU - Persheyev, Saydulla. AU - Fan, Yongchang. AU - Irving, Andrew. AU - Rose, Mervyn J.. PY - 2011/10. Y1 - 2011/10. N2 - Artificial biomimetic substrates provide useful models for studying cell adhesion, signaling, and differentiation. This article describes biological interactions with a new type of tunable, micro-nanotextured silicon substrate, generated by irradiation of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon film with a large beam, excimer laser (248 nm). In this study, we demonstrate that BV-2 microglial cells can sense differences in laser processed silicon surface topology over the range of 30 nm to 2 mu m, where they undergo marked morphogenic changes with increasing feature size. The cells adopt a more elongated shape in the presence of the modified surface structure and exhibit increased levels of actin-rich microdomains, suggesting enhanced adhesion. The excimer laser modification of hydrogenated ...

Atomic Force Microscopy studies of proteins immobilized on silica by thiol-disulfide exchangeAtomic Force Microscopy studies of proteins immobilized on silica by thiol-disulfide exchange
In this thesis methods for investigation of orientation and conformation of individual macromolecules on surfaces are presented as well as novel methods for functionalization of silicon chips with the possibility to get an ordered immobilization of antibodies. Two novel methods are presented which makes it possible to investigate the orientation of individual macromolecules on different kinds of surfaces with AFM. One is based on threshold patterning where, depending on substrate, side- and end-on adsorbed immunoglobulin molecules could be detected. The other method is using the principle of site-specific ligands where the orientation of proteins adsorbed to various surfaces was evaluated. By measuring the increase in protein volume of the formed protein-ligand complexes with AFM, the amount of protein having an orientation that allows binding can be estimated. The influence of surface chemistry on protein structure was examined using human serum fibronectin adsorbed to hydrophilic and ...

Surface oxide and roughness on test samples for the Ultra High Vacuum section of the European XFELSurface oxide and roughness on test samples for the Ultra High Vacuum section of the European XFEL
The European X-ray Free Electron Laser has recently started with operation for users. An approximately 3 m long ultra high vacuum laser heater section is implemented to overcome possible electron bunch instabilities. We describe the process of determining the oxide layer thickness and surface roughness on test samples of the internal surface material in the laser heater vacuum chambers using elastic recoil detection analysis and optical surface profiling. The results are compared to specified values and show that surface roughness on the samples is larger than the requested maximum, with RMS deviations from a mean plane of up to 1.76 μm for 0.60 × 0.45 square millimeter scans. The maximum oxide layer thickness is 5.5 nm on non-electropolished surfaces assuming cuprous oxide with density 6.0 g per cubic centimeter and 4.0 nm on electropolished surfaces.. ...

Fluid flow around model femoral components of differing surface finishes: in vitro investigations. - Nuffield Department of...
We studied fluid flow at the stem-cement interface of bonded and debonded, polished and rough model femoral components. In a first series of experiments, fluid flow along the interface between bone cement and well-fixed model femoral components, differing in surface finish, and in shape, was measured. Fluid migration along the bone-cement interface of rough stems (Ra 3 microm) was greater than that on polished stems (p | 0.001). This was true of cylindrical and conical tapered stems. On stems with the same surface finish, shape did not influence fluid migration. In a second series of experiments, fluid flow along the stem-cement interface of 5 highly polished and 10 rough-finished (5 of Ra approximately 1.5 microm and 5 of Ra approximately 3 microm), debonded, tapered circular stems was measured. None of the rough stems could prevent fluid flow along the stem-cement interface. Polished tapered stems sealed the interface and, after 48 hrs of continuous pressure, no fluid flow was observed.

Nanometer Surface Roughness Effect on the Magnetic Properties of ...: Ingenta ConnectNanometer Surface Roughness Effect on the Magnetic Properties of ...: Ingenta Connect
This article reports the effects of nanometer surface roughness on the magnetic properties of CoFeHfO thin films, as deposited on Si (100) substrates. The surface roughness was controlled via the working pressure during the sputtering time. When the working pressure increases from 0.5 to 3 mT, the surface roughness (R) of CoFeHfO thin films, formed by islands with the average high R, increases from 0.25 nm to 4.66 nm, respectively. At surface roughness (R) = 4.66 nm, coercivity (H c) reaches the highest value of 0.42 Oe and magnetic anisotropy (H k) drops to the lowest value of 33 Oe. This suggests that the quality of the soft magnetic properties of thin film decrease due to the increase in surface roughness. However, at very low working pressure, thin films become a homogeneous structure which also exhibits poor soft magnetic properties. The optimum value, with H c of 0.10 Oe and H k of 50 Oe, were obtained at 1.5 mT of working pressure. The model of the roughness effect on the magnetic ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Construction of hydrophilic surfaces with poly(vinyl ether)s and their interfacial properties in water. AU - Oda, Yukari. PY - 2019/10/1. Y1 - 2019/10/1. N2 - Abstract: We studied the effect of polymer design on the interfacial structure and physical properties of polymer films in water based on a poly(vinyl ether) platform with hydrophilic side-chains to construct bioinert interfaces. Initially, we explored how to prepare hydrophilic surfaces using poly(vinyl ether)s, utilizing the preferential segregation of a rubbery component in a diblock copolymer film with a glassy component, crosslinking a hydrophilic polymer, and designing an interfacial modifier with a special architecture. Characterizing the interfacial structure and physical properties of the obtained polymer films in water revealed that a small difference in the side-chain structure significantly impacts the resultant interfacial properties of the polymers, leading to excellent blood compatibility. Furthermore, we ...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies of thin GexSb40-xS6o films - ePrints SotonX-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies of thin GexSb40-xS6o films - ePrints Soton
Thin GexSb40-xS60 (x = 5, 15, 20, 25 and 27) chalcogenide films have been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). X-ray photoelectron spectra show that there is a peculiarity in the relative intensity ratio of the Sb 4d photoelectron peak associated with Sb2S3 to the Sb 4d photoelectron peak associated Sb2S5 at an average co-ordination number Z of 2.65-2.67. After contamination and photo-oxidation layers were removed from the surface of the films, X-ray photoelectron spectra were measured again. It has been found that binding energies of the Ge 2p and Sb 3d(3/2) photoelectron peaks, which reflect the electronic structure at lower core energy levels, are independent of Z. However, the binding energies of the Ge 3d and Sb 4d photoelectron peaks are more sensitive to Z and have a discontinuity at Z = 2.65.. Full text not available from this repository.. ...

4.3 Water contact angles
Table 4.1. Water contact angles for self assembled monolayer surfaces on Au. Standard deviations are given in parentheses. A value of 0 indicates a low and ill defined angle. Samples of 180 and 181 used for these experiments were prepared using the method described in section 3.1.6.. The values for modified surfaces are significantly different from the bare gold samples indicating that SAM formation was successful. The observed angles fall into classes which parallel the gross structure of the molecules comprising the SAM. The amine and pyridine functionalized surfaces, 180, 181 and 184, exhibit lower advancing contact angles than the porphyrin monolayers. Monolayers terminated by polar functional groups have previously been reported to give rise to low qa.19 The mono- and di-thiol porphyrins, 227 - 229 and 223 - 225, all display qa in the range 102 - 108 consistent with a relatively hydrophobic surface, a result unsurprising given the alkyl substituents at the porphyrin periphery. qa of the ...

CiNii 論文 - Surface Free Energy of Alloy Nitride Coatings Deposited Using Closed Field...
The sticking of product material to injection molding tools is a serious problem, which reduces productivity and reliability. Depositing alloy nitride coatings (TiN, ZrN, CrN, and TiAlCrN) using closed field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating and electrodeposition of chromium, and characterizing their surface free energies in the temperature range 20-120°C have led to the development of a non-sticking (with a low surface free energy) coating system for semiconductor IC packaging molding dies. The contact angles of water, diiodomethane and ethylene glycol on the coated surfaces were measured at temperatures in the range 20-120°C using a Dataphysics OCA-20 contact angle analyzer. The surface free energy of the coatings and their components (dispersion and polar) were calculated using the Owens-Wendt geometric mean approach. The surface roughness of these coatings were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The adhesion force of these coatings were measured using direct tensile ...

PY - 1997/3/19. Y1 - 1997/3/19. N2 - The Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films of a benzo-18-crown-6-methanofullerene (1) were studied by spectrophotometry and Brëwster angle microscopy. The surface pressure-area isotherm of the C60 derivative (1) was obtained, and the compressibility of the isotherms was calculated. The addition of KCl to the water subphase stabilized the monolayer and increased the limiting area per molecule from 84 to 101 Å, which is near the theoretical value. The changes of the Langmuir monolayer UV-vis spectra as a function of time are considered to be due to fullerene aggregation. Polymerization was not detected upon UV irradiation, in contrast to what has been reported in the literature. Brëwster angle microscopy shows different aggregation properties of the ...

Adelaide Research & Scholarship: ToF-SIMS multivariate analysis of surface-grafted small bioactive moleculesAdelaide Research & Scholarship: ToF-SIMS multivariate analysis of surface-grafted small bioactive molecules
In the development of bioactive coatings on biomaterials, it is essential to characterize the successful fabrication and the uniformity of intended coatings by sensitive surface analytical techniques, so as to ensure reliable interpretation of observed biointerfacial responses. This can, however, be challenging when small bioactive molecules are grafted onto biomaterials surfaces at sub- and near-monolayer densities. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) provides the required sensitivity, but ion signals from small grafted molecules may still be dominated by fragment ions from the underlying polymer. In such cases, multivariate analysis provides valuable enhancement of spectral data, as illustrated here by examples comprising the surface grafting of bioactive serrulatane molecules, the peptide GRGDSP, the oligonucleotide 15-thymidine, and the antifungal compound Amphotericin B. The authors also show how ToF-SIMS plus principal component analysis can distinguish between ...

Buckling of nanotubes under compression considering surface effectsBuckling of nanotubes under compression considering surface effects
In this paper, the modified Euler-Bernoulli beam model is presented to examine the influence of surface elasticity and residual surface tension on the critical force of axial buckling of nanotubes in the presence of rotary inertia. An explicit solution is derived for the buckling loads of microscaled Euler beams considering surface effects. The size-dependent buckling behavior of the nanotube due to surface effects is well elucidated in the obtained solutions. The critical forces are evaluated for axial buckling of cantilever beams. The results are compared with those corresponding to the classical beam model. The influences of the surface effects on the critical forces are discussed in detail.

Separating the impact of individual land surface properties on the terrestrial surface energy budget in both the coupled and un...
local, regional, and global scales. Surface properties control the partitioning of energy within the surface energy budget to fluxes of shortwave and longwave radiation, sensible and latent heat, and ground heat storage. Changes in surface energy fluxes can impact the atmosphere across scales through changes in temperature, cloud cover, and large-scale atmospheric circulation. We test the sensitivity of the atmosphere to global changes in three land surface properties: albedo, evaporative resistance, and surface roughness. We show the impact of changing these surface properties differs drastically between simulations run with an offline land model, compared to coupled land-atmosphere simulations which allow for atmospheric feedbacks associated with land-atmosphere coupling. Atmospheric feedbacks play a critical role in defining the temperature response to changes in albedo and evaporative resistance, particularly in the extra-tropics. More than 50% of the surface temperature response to changing ...

Influence of surface topography on biofilm development: Experiment and modeling - Université de Limoges
The effect of surface topography on the long-term development (≈10 weeks) of biofilms has been investigated using a monitoring technique based on images produced by a flat-bed scanner and initially developed for flat surfaces. The biofilm response to rotation speed changes in lab-scale rotating biological contactors (RBCs) has been studied. Two RBCs, each containing five discs (two with flat surfaces and three with rough surfaces) were run initially at two different rotation speeds: 4 rpm for reactor I and 40 rpm for reactor II. After 47 days, the rotation speed was increased in reactor I to 40 rpm and decreased in reactor II to 4 rpm. Prior to the rotation speed change, the biofilm on the flat discs underwent large detachments in both reactors, but the biofilm on rough discs was less extensively damaged. The increase in rotation speed induced large detachments of the biofilm in reactor I on all discs, but the biofilm on the rough discs recovered more effectively with faster regrowth. In reactor II,

Classical methods to analyze the surface composition of atmosphereless planetary objects from an orbiter are IR and gamma ray spectroscopy and neutron backscatter measurements. The idea to analyze surface properties with an in-situ instrument has been proposed by Johnson et al. (1998). There, it was suggested to analyze Europas thin atmosphere with an ion and neutral gas spectrometer. Since the atmospheric components are released by sputtering of the moons surface, they provide a link to surface composition. Here we present an improved, complementary method to analyze rocky or icy dust particles as samples of planetary objects from which they were ejected. Such particles, generated by the ambient meteoroid bombardment that erodes the surface, are naturally present on all atmosphereless moons and planets. The planetary bodies are enshrouded in clouds of ballistic dust particles, which are characteristic samples of their surfaces. In situ mass spectroscopic analysis of these dust particles ...

Silver nanoparticles (SNP) are the subject of worldwide commercialization because of their antimicrobial effects. Yet only little data on their mode of action exist. Further, only few techniques allow for visualization and quantification of unlabeled nanoparticles inside cells. To study SNP of different sizes and coatings within human macrophages, we introduce a novel laser postionization secondary neutral mass spectrometry (Laser-SNMS) approach and prove this method superior to the widely applied confocal Raman and transmission electron microscopy. With time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) we further demonstrate characteristic fingerprints in the lipid pattern of the cellular membrane indicative of oxidative stress and membrane fluidity changes. Increases of protein carbonyl and heme oxygenase-1 levels in treated cells confirm the presence of oxidative stress biochemically. Intriguingly, affected phagocytosis reveals as highly sensitive end point of SNP-mediated adversity ...

In vitro and in vivo biofilm formation by pathogenic streptococciIn vitro and in vivo biofilm formation by pathogenic streptococci
inbook{5875afa7-6468-4741-88b2-bd174329b39d, abstract = {,p,This manuscript presents novel approaches to grow and evaluate Streptococcal biofilm formation using the human respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) as the main model organism on biological surfaces in vitro and in vivo. Most biofilm models are based on growth on abiotic surfaces, which is relevant for many pathogens whose growth on surfaces or medical devices is a major cause of disease transmission and infections, especially in hospital environments. However, most infections with commensal organisms require biofilm formation on biological surfaces in the host at the site of colonization or infection. In vitro model systems incorporating biological components from the host and taking into account the host environment of the infectious site are not well described. In a series of publications, we have shown that S. pneumoniae form complex biofilms in the nasopharynx of mice and have devised methodology to ...

In addition to the integration of implants with tissues via contact with other cells and extracellular matrix, another important factor regulating implant integration and the lifetime of the implant is the amount of contact it has with commensials and pathogenic microbes, in particular bacteria. Diagnostics of peri-implant infections is usually based on the bacterial culture, neutrophil infiltrates and other methods. Nonetheless, the current methods are not reliable enough. In the final part of this thesis, two methods that could potentially be utilised to diagnose implant infections were evaluated. It was found that time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry is a potential tool for differentiating of acellular bacterial from eukaryotic footprints (i.e. extracellular polymeric substance and extracellular matrix produced by the respective cells) and may have potential for the post-hoc diagnosis of colonisation, biofilm formation and implant-related infections even in culture negative cases ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) for single-cell force spectroscopy (SCFS) and Poisson statistic were used to analyze the detachment work recorded during the removal of gold-covered microspheres from cardiac fibroblasts. The effect of Cytochalasin D, a disruptor of the actin cytoskeleton, on cell adhesion was also tested. The adhesion workwas assessed using a Poisson analysis also derived fromsingle-cell force spectroscopy retracting curves. The use of Poisson analysis to get adhesionwork fromAFM curves is quite a novel method, and in this case, proved to be effective to study the short-range and long-range contributions to the adhesion work. This method avoids the difficult identification of minor peaks in the AFMretracting curves by creating what can be considered an average adhesionwork. Even though the effect of actin depolymerisation iswell documented, its use revealed that control cardiac fibroblasts (CT) exhibit a work of adhesion at least 5 times higher than that of the Cytochalasin treated ...

Surface Functionalization of Nanostructured Porous Silicon by APT...: Ingenta ConnectSurface Functionalization of Nanostructured Porous Silicon by APT...: Ingenta Connect
Nanostructured porous silicon (nanoPS) basically consists in a network of silicon nanocrystals with high specific surface. Its intrinsic high surface reactivity makes nanoPS a very suitable material for the development of biosensors. In this work, the surface of nanoPS was functionalized by the use of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane solutions in toluene. Escherichia coli (E. coli) antibodies were subsequently immobilized on the functionalized surfaces. Finally, fragments of this bacterium, which are specifically recognized by the antibodies, were immobilized. Moreover, devices with a metal/nanoPS/semiconductor/metal structure were fabricated aiming at the electrical biosensing of E. Coli bacterium. The experimental results showed a strong variation of the current as a function of the presence/ absence of bacterium E. Coli and surface concentration ...

Y1 - 1987/7/1. N2 - In this paper the authors have examined the influence of substrate surface properties on the extent of endothelialization of polymer materials. For this purpose a number of substrates with a wide range of surface tensions have been employed. The authors also have investigated the interaction of suspensions of granulocytes (PMNs) and erythrocytes (RBCs) from homologous species with the endothelialized surfaces. This part of the study was undertaken to evaluate whether the adherent endothelial cells behaved in a manner consistent with the natural intima and to determine the influence (if any) of the underlying substrate material on PMN and RBC adhesion..
