Research problems linked to this topic
- It is well known that subtle changes in structure and tissue composition of articular cartilage can lead to its degeneration.
- Recently, there has been much progress in the self-assembly of colloidal crystals.
- To date, no comprehensive study of the adhesion of plasma-polymerized films on plastics has been made.
- Colloidal drops-suspensions, dispersions, emulsions-are widespread in the process industry but are difficult to characterize by size, velocity, and concentration of particulate matter in the drop.
- Environmental factors, such as temperature and moisture, are known to have a degrading effect on the mechanical properties and performance of adhesive joints, which may be perceived as a non-problem because various works have shown that the static response of an adhesive is normally unaffected by slight moisture and temperature variations that occur in real-world applications.
- Stimuli-responsive surfaces that can regulate and control cell adhesion have attracted much attention for their great potential in diverse biomedical applications.
