Colloidal ß-TCP Facilitates Synthesis of Collagen Nano-composite

Shibata Y., Yamamoto H., Miyazaki T., Showa University, JP

Recently, hydroxyapatite/collagen composites have received much attention in the field of tissue reconstruction, because human bone is mainly composed of hydroxyapatite and collagen fibers. However, these composites cannot be synthesized without secondary treatments, therefore the [...]

Nano-Structured C60-SAM Formed on Ultrathin Au Films/MgO Single Crystal

Yamamoto H., Iwata N., Shimizu Y., Nihon University, College of Science & Technology, JP

Exotic electric conducting properties have been expected in organic molecules/metals interfaces with lowdimensional nano-structures. A self-assembly monolayer of a C60 derivative, C60-O-C8SH, (C60-SAM) was synthesized on ultrathin Au films which were deposited on MgO (100) [...]
