Towards Clinical Translation: Optimized Fabrication of Controlled Nanostructures on Implant-Relevant Curved Zirconium Surfaces.

ABSTRACT: Anodization enables fabrication of controlled nanotopographies on Ti implants to offer tailorable bioactivity and local therapy. However, anodization of Zr implants to fabricate ZrO₂ nanostructures remains underexplored and are limited to the modification of easy-to-manage flat Zr foils, which do not represent the shape of clinically used implants. In this pioneering study, we report extensive optimization of various nanostructures on implant-relevant micro-rough Zr curved surfaces, bringing this technology closer to clinical translation. Further, we explore the use of sonication to remove the top nanoporous layer to reveal the underlying nanotubes. Nano-engineered Zr surfaces can be applied towards enhancing the bioactivity and therapeutic potential of conventional Zr-based implants.

Fabrication of slender elastic shells by the coating of curved surfaces.

Project description:Various manufacturing techniques exist to produce double-curvature shells, including injection, rotational and blow molding, as well as dip coating. However, these industrial processes are typically geared for mass production and are not directly applicable to laboratory research settings, where adaptable, inexpensive and predictable prototyping tools are desirable. Here, we study the rapid fabrication of hemispherical elastic shells by coating a curved surface with a polymer solution that yields a nearly uniform shell, upon polymerization of the resulting thin film. We experimentally characterize how the curing of the polymer affects its drainage dynamics and eventually selects the shell thickness. The coating process is then rationalized through a theoretical analysis that predicts the final thickness, in quantitative agreement with experiments and numerical simulations of the lubrication flow field. This robust fabrication framework should be invaluable for future studies on the mechanics of thin elastic shells and their intrinsic geometric nonlinearities.

A tantalum-containing zirconium-based metallic glass with superior endosseous implant relevant properties (HUVEC)

Project description:Tantalum (Ta) metal is well known for its ideal corrosion resistance and biological effects as endosseous implants. However, the metal has a elastic modulus as high as 186GPa which is not comparable to the natural bone (10-40GPa), and it also has a relative high cost. Here, to fully exploit the advantages of Ta as endosseous implants, a small amount of Ta (as low as 3 at.%) was successfully added into a zirconium-based metallic glass (MG) to generate an advanced functional endosseous implant, Zr58Cu25Al14Ta3 MG, with superior comprehensive properties. Upon carefully dissecting the surface chemistry and atomic structure, the results show that amorphization of Ta enable the uniform distribution in material surface, leading to a significantly improved chemical stability and extensive material-cell contact regulation. Systematical analyses on the immunological, angiogenesis and osteogenesis capability of the material is carried out by utilizing the next-generation sequencing, revealing that Zr58Cu25Al14Ta3 MG can regulate angiogenesis through VEFG signaling pathway and osteogenesis via BMP signaling pathway. Animal experiment further confirms a sound osseointegration of Zr58Cu25Al14Ta3 MG in achieving better bone-implant-contact and inducing faster peri-implant bone formation.

Crystallography on curved surfaces.

Project description:We study static and dynamical properties that distinguish 2D crystals constrained to lie on a curved substrate from their flat-space counterparts. A generic mechanism of dislocation unbinding in the presence of varying Gaussian curvature is presented in the context of a model surface amenable to full analytical treatment. We find that glide diffusion of isolated dislocations is suppressed by a binding potential of purely geometrical origin. Finally, the energetics and biased diffusion dynamics of point defects such as vacancies and interstitials are explained in terms of their geometric potential.

Symmetry breaking in drop bouncing on curved surfaces.

Project description:The impact of liquid drops on solid surfaces is ubiquitous in nature, and of practical importance in many industrial processes. A drop hitting a flat surface retains a circular symmetry throughout the impact process. Here we show that a drop impinging on Echevaria leaves exhibits asymmetric bouncing dynamics with distinct spreading and retraction along two perpendicular directions. This is a direct consequence of the cylindrical leaves that have a convex/concave architecture of size comparable to the drop. Systematic experimental investigations on mimetic surfaces and lattice Boltzmann simulations reveal that this novel phenomenon results from an asymmetric momentum and mass distribution that allows for preferential fluid pumping around the drop rim. The asymmetry of the bouncing leads to ?40% reduction in contact time.

A Method for Molecular Dynamics on Curved Surfaces.

Project description:Dynamics simulations of constrained particles can greatly aid in understanding the temporal and spatial evolution of biological processes such as lateral transport along membranes and self-assembly of viruses. Most theoretical efforts in the field of diffusive transport have focused on solving the diffusion equation on curved surfaces, for which it is not tractable to incorporate particle interactions even though these play a crucial role in crowded systems. We show here that it is possible to take such interactions into account by combining standard constraint algorithms with the classical velocity Verlet scheme to perform molecular dynamics simulations of particles constrained to an arbitrarily curved surface. Furthermore, unlike Brownian dynamics schemes in local coordinates, our method is based on Cartesian coordinates, allowing for the reuse of many other standard tools without modifications, including parallelization through domain decomposition. We show that by applying the schemes to the Langevin equation for various surfaces, we obtain confined Brownian motion, which has direct applications to many biological and physical problems. Finally we present two practical examples that highlight the applicability of the method: 1) the influence of crowding and shape on the lateral diffusion of proteins in curved membranes; and 2) the self-assembly of a coarse-grained virus capsid protein model.

Measurement of Free-Form Curved Surfaces Using Laser Triangulation.

Project description:Laser triangulation (LT) is widely used in many fields due to its good stability, high resolution and fast speed. However, the accuracy in these applications suffers from severe constraints on the data acquisition accuracy of LT. To solve this problem, the optical triangulation principle, the object equation of the optical path relationship and the deviation of the laser spot centroid are applied to deduce a mathematical model. Therefore, the image sensor inclination errors can be quantitatively calculated, and the collected data are compensated in real time. Further, a threshold sub-pixel gray-gravity (GG) extraction algorithm is proposed; the gradient function and Gaussian fit algorithm are used to set thresholds to remove the impact of the spot edge noise area on the center location; and polynomial interpolation is employed to enhance the data density of the traditional GG method, thus improving the data acquisition accuracy of LT. Finally, the above methods are applied to on-machine measurement of the American Petroleum Institute (API) thread and the screw rotor, respectively. The experimental results prove that the proposed method can significantly improve the measurement accuracy of free-form curved surfaces using LT and that the improved laser spot center extraction algorithm is more suitable for free-form curved surfaces with smaller curvature and more uniform curvature changes.

The van der Waals Interactions of n-Alkanethiol-Covered Surfaces: From Planar to Curved Surfaces.

Project description:The van der Waals (vdW) interactions of n-alkanethiols (ATs) adsorbed on planar Au(111) and Au(100) surfaces and curved Au nanoparticles of different diameters are reported. By means of electrochemical measurements and molecular dynamic calculations, the increase in the average geometrical curvature of the surface influences the global interactions, that is, decreasing vdW interactions between neighboring molecules. Small NPs do not present the same electrochemical behavior as planar surfaces. The transition between nanoparticle to flat surface electrochemical response is estimated to occur at a circa 13-20?nm diameter range.
