Drug-eluting systems are currently used in cardiac leads in order to reduce inflammation and fibrosis at the lead–tissue interface. Drug release from these drug delivery systems can be modulated by the manufacturing processes used to create the drug systems and assemble them onto the cardiac lead. In this study, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and Raman microscopy are employed...
The ElectroNanospraytrade process (Nanocopoeia, Inc) transforms drugs and polymers into many nanoscale material states including powders, liquids, encapsulated particles, and coatings. This enabling technology platform allows application of polymers and drugs to the surface of medical devices such as coronary stents in a single-stage process. Modification of ElectroNanospray process parameters resulted...
The projected growth in successful commercialization of nanoscience products and technologies will be slowed without an adequately trained force of technician-level skilled workers. To this end, Dakota County Technical College (DCTC), a two year school in Rosemount, MN received in 2004 an NSF ATE grant to develop a nanoscience training program. The program consists of 3 semesters of coursework at...
Fourier analysis of oscillating forces at a laterally modulated tip provides new insight into static-to-kinetic friction transitions on ultrathin polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films. In addition to contrast in sliding friction, layers of autophobically dewetted PVA films exhibit remarkable contrast in the transition from static to kinetic friction as derived from spatially resolved Fourier analysis. These...
