Evaluation of High-Performance Polyether Ether Ketone Polymer Treated with Piranha Solution and Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Coating

open access: yesBioMed Research International
Background Dental implantation has become a standard procedure with high success rates, relying on achieving osseointegration between the implant surface and surrounding bone tissue. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a promising alternative to traditional

Al2O3 Ring Array by Infiltration Synthesis in Polystyrene Antidot Template

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Different morphologies, such as full dots for genuine PS‐b‐PMMA, residual dots for the PS antidot array (resulting from an Acetic Acid (AA) last PS‐b‐PMMA), and rings for the modified PS antidot array (derived from an O2 plasma last PS‐b‐PMMA), originated from SIS process in PS‐b‐PMMA BCP array, due to the different reaction sites for the TMA precursor

Nanoporous Silica Embedded in Nanoporous Platinum: A Versatile Composite Coating for Implant‐Associated Drug Delivery From Neuronal Electrodes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Nanoporous silica nanoparticles incorporated in nanoporous platinum offer the possibility for implant‐associated drug delivery from neuronal electrodes. ABSTRACT Sensorineural hearing loss, resulting from damage to the hair cells of the inner ear, profoundly impairs quality of life.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

Reproductive aspects of piranhas Serrasalmus spilopleura and Serrasalmus marginatus into the Upper Paraná River, Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2003
Construction of the Itaipu Dam, 150 km downstream from Sete Quedas Falls, resulted in the drowning of that natural geographic barrier, with consequent invasion of Serrasalmus marginatus in the upper stream. This event was followed by the reduction in the
