Creating Micro and Nano Structures
in Polymers by Moulding

Moulding micro and nano surface features and discrete micro components in polymers reproducibly and in large volumes is now possible. The factors involved in successful micro injection moulding operations, including component size, aspect ratio and surface area, are examined.

 
  The Importance of Advanced Material
Selection and Testing Strategies

The success of new product development (NPD) projects can be increased by employing a strategic and integrated approach to material selection and testing. The value of this approach is described and real life examples provide some useful practical recommendations for those embarking on a NPD project.
 
    Advances in Cerebral Probing Using
Modular Multifunctional Probe Array

An integrative approach to building microprobe arrays with multiple functionalities is being developed for cerebral applications. This work aims to integrate electrical recording and stimulation, chemical sensing and drug delivery in the same device. It will allow the assembling of probes of different functionalities, configurations and sizes.
 
      The Need for a Systems Approach
in Biomaterials Testing

Many factors can affect the characterisation of biomaterials during testing. These include drugs administered prior to testing and shear stress on blood cells induced by different blood flows and specific blood donor conditions. Some of the misconceptions in testing are described here and serve to indicate that a systems approach, and not only individual test parameters, is best when testing for biocompatibility.
