The KWS-1, which is operated by JCNS, Forschungszentrum Jülich, a small-angle neutron scattering diffractometer dedicated to high resolution measurements.
Proteins extracted from the seeds of Moringa trees are effective flocculents for particles dispersed in water and attractive as a natural sustainable product use purification. Studies with model system consisting polystyrene latex have shown that protein adsorbs to surface causes flocculation unusually dense aggregates. Small-angle neutron scattering exploits contrast matching deuterated D2O highlight bound has adsorbed amount reaches about 3 mg m−2. The form very compact flocs characterized...
Abstract Knowledge of the structure a biomaterial is usually vital to control its function. This article provides structural characterization hyaluronan scaffold that has demonstrated good biocompatibility and used induce bone regeneration. Hyaluronan hydrogels are appealing materials can function as matrix incorporate both organic inorganic substances enhance tissue growth. Because intrinsic properties this swollen matrix, one needs very sensitive technique be applied in situ determine...
Fluid fatty alcohols are believed to be nanostructured but broadly amorphous (i.e., noncrystalline) fluids and solvents, including the most popular tissue mimetic, hydrated n-octanol hydro-octanol). To check this premise, we studied dry octanol hydro-octanol as a model of relatively short fluid n-alkanols with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). We also combined alkanol matching alkane octane) common anti-inflammatory pain killer (ketoprofen). This revealed that (hydro-)octanol arguably any...
Hydrogel coatings of modified hyaluronan on smooth titanium oxide surfaces that mimic orthopedics implant have been characterized using quartz crystal microbalance and neutron reflectivity measurements. Adsorption bone morphogenetic protein‐2, BMP‐2, a bare surface is compared to coated with different chemical modifications, the most important being bisphosphonate groups. Release BMP‐2 from these was triggered by calcium ions. The amount protein release both depend type coating. We conclude...
Adhesion and motility of cells on polyethylene glycol (PEG) engineered surfaces are fundamental interest for the development biotechnological devices. Here, structure PEG block copolymers physisorbed to by polyLlysine (PLL) or polypropylene oxide (PPO) is studied. Cell behavior such incubated with fibronectin (FN) analyzed via time-lapse microscopy, amount location FN determined neutron reflectivity. While does not adsorb onto PPOPEG, 0.4–0.7 mg m−2 found in vicinity PLL moiety PLLPEG. Cells...
