Qualitative Evaluation of the Response of Human Osteoblast Cells to Nanotopography Surfaces Based on Carbon Nanotubes

Firkowska I., Giannona S., Rojas-Chapana J., Giersig M., Center of Advanced European Studies and Research, DE

The organization of cells within an extracellular matrix is critical to promote appropriate cellular interactions and tissue function in vivo. The ability to design and create a nano-patterning on surfaces provides new capabilities for tissue [...]

Quantum Dot Modified Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes

Olek M., Büsgen T., Mulvaney P., van Embden J., Hilgendorff M., Mulvaney P., Giersig M., CAESAR, DE

The key advantage of our research is a noninvasive functionalization of carbon nanotubes, which ensures good dispersion and stability of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in a vast range of organic and inorganic solvents. The method can [...]

Nanomechanical Properties of Silica Coated Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes – Poly(methyl methacrylate) Composites

Olek M., Kempa K., Jurga S., Giersig M., Caesar - Research Center, DE

Nanomechanical properties of polymer composites, reinforced with silica coated multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT), have been studied using the nanoindentation technique. The nanohardness and the Young’s modulus have been found to increase strongly with the increasing [...]
