Femtosecond‐Laser Mould Texturing Enables Tunable Biointerfaces in COC Microfluidics

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Femtosecond‐laser texturing of injection‐mould inserts enables scalable engineering of biointerfaces in cyclic olefin copolymer microfluidics. Replicated micro‐ and nano‐topographies modulate surface roughness and wettability, leading to texture‐dependent protein adsorption and cell adhesion without chemical post‐processing.

Tunable 3D‐Printed Static Mixers for Gradient Bioprinting With High Cell Viability

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fabrication of native tissue‐like structures with gradual transitions in material properties, cell types, and growth factors remains a major challenge in biofabrication due to the lack of suitable methods. Mimicking the hierarchical organization of living tissues is essential for functional models, yet creating gradient, multimaterial ...

Optimization of Convective Drying of Apricots

TEM Journal, 2017
The purpose of this study is to realize multi-criterial optimization of the parameters of apricot drying. The drying experiments were conducted at a temperature of T=50÷80°C and velocity of ν=0.5÷2m/s of the drying agent. The dependence of the modified Page model’s parameters to the temperature and the velocity of the drying agent were obtained.
