Abstract:This work explores application of phase separation phenomena for structuring of films made from hyaluronan. A timesequenced dispensing of different solution mixtures was applied under rotation of hyaluronan-covered substrates to generate surface textures. This method is applicable in direct surface modification or cover layer deposition. Changes in the surface topography were characterized by atomic force microscopy, optical microscopy, and contact and non-contact profilometry. The mechanical properties of the… Show more
Glycosaminoglycans have quietly transitioned from biomaterials to advanced functional materials for energy devices and flexible electronics. Gathered here are 45 years of research highlighting both fundamental studies and recent advances and trends.
