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. |
