Wrinkling Non-Spherical Particles and Its Application in Cell Attachment Promotion

Abstract: Surface wrinkled particles are ubiquitous in nature and present in different sizes and shapes, such as plant pollens and peppercorn seeds. These natural wrinkles provide the particles with advanced functions to survive and thrive in nature. In this work, by combining flow lithography and plasma treatment, we have developed a simple method that can rapidly create wrinkled non-spherical particles, mimicking the surface textures in nature. Due to the oxygen inhibition in flow lithography, the non-spherical partic… Show more

“…The introduction of specific subcellular scaled surface features often promotes cell adhesion. The enhanced cell attachment of 3T3 cells on wrinkled surfaces having similar size and morphology was reported [14,24]. Thus, promotion of cell attachment by wrinkles is considered one reason for the higher cell number.…”

“…Wrinkled surfaces of cell cultured scaffolds with suitable topographies can improve cell proliferation, 51 cellular alignment, and differentiation control. 52,53 It seems that wrinkles are under the impression of mechanico-chemical properties of the construct such as hydrophilicity, porosity, tensile strength and in vivo/in vitro conditions. Protein adsorption is another important property since the number of serum proteins absorbed by the scaffold that can affects cell adhesion.…”

“…Bottom-up methods 12 , including blockcopolymer self-assembly 13 or a range of surface instabilities 14 provide thus attractive alternatives. Mechanically-induced wrinkling of bilayers [15][16][17] has been extensively used for a plethora of applications in surface science, optics and photonics, biology and microfabrication [18][19][20] . These range from the fabrication of super-hydrophobic or directional wetting surfaces 21 , to tuneable lasers 22 and cell sorting 23 and proliferation 24 .…”
