Polymers Pushing Polymers: Polymer Mixtures in Thermodynamic Equilibrium with a Pore [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2012 We investigate polymer partitioning from polymer mixtures into nanometer size cavities by formulating an equation of state for a binary polymer mixture assuming that only one (smaller) of the two polymer components can penetrate the cavity. Deriving the partitioning equilibrium equations and solving them numerically allows us to introduce the concept ...

Gas-Foamed Scaffold Gradients for Combinatorial Screening in 3D
Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2012 Current methods for screening cell-material interactions typically utilize a two-dimensional (2D) culture format where cells are cultured on flat surfaces. However, there is a need for combinatorial and high-throughput screening methods to systematically
