Click reactions have become very common and powerful ligation techniques, of which 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions have most frequently been employed. Since metal-mediated cycloadditions are incompatible in biomedical applications ...

Planar optronic sensor systems are networks of integrated light sources, detectors and sensors, connected by optical waveguides on thin polymer films. This way, sensor networks can be realized completely optically for ...

The metal-organic framework ZIF-8, which undergoes hydrolysis under hydrothermal conditions, is endowed with high water-resistance after a shell-ligand-exchange-reaction. The stabilized ZIF-8 retains its structural ...

A hierarchical system of highly porous nanofibers has been prepared by electrospinning MOF (metal-organic framework) nanoparticles with suitable carrier polymers. Nitrogen adsorption proved the MOF nanoparticles to be fully ...

Two-photon polymerization (2PP) is applied for the fabrication of 3-D Zr-Si scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Zr-Si scaffolds with 150, 200, and 250 μm pore sizes are seeded with human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) ...

Two-photon polymerization technique was applied to generate three-dimensional (3D) scaffold-like structures using the photosensitive organic-inorganic hybrid polymer ORMOCER®. The structures were studied with respect to ...
