Design and Fabrication of Nano-patterns on Bioactive Glass Using Hot Embossing

摘要

The observations demonstrate that the hot embossing method can be used to produce sub micron features on bioactive glass. Various sizes of pores can be fabricated by aluminium anodisation process. Therefore we plan to produce various size nanopatterns on different bioactive glasses. Then osteoblastic cell and mesenchymal stem cell responses to patterned bioactive glasses will be examined to understand the response of such cells to nanofeatures on such glasses.
