Highly crystalline and reasonably uniform hydroxyapatite (HA) nanorods were prepared by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) assisted hydrothermal synthesis which produces high aspect ratio (length/width) nanorods. The aspect ratio of the nanorods was higher in the presence of PVP and increased with increasing concentrations of PVP. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the HA nanorods were of the hexagonal apatite phase. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns confirmed that the nanorods grew in thec-axis direction (preferred orientation). The calculated lattice spacing was ~0.35 nm which is thec-axis value of hexagonal HA. Morphological variations of pristine and PVP added HA were evaluated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and TEM, which revealed that the presence of PVP greatly increased the aspect ratio of the HA nanorods. The formation mechanism of the PVP assisted HA was studied and a possible reaction model was given. Cell viability analysis byin vitrostudies showed encouraging results for the high aspect ratio nanorods and indicated a possibility for tuning the activity based on controlling the aspect ratio.

High aspect ratio (length/width) of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanorods were prepared by polymer assisted hydrothermal synthesis. The aspect ratio of the nanorods was increased in the presence of polymer in hydrothermal method. Structural analysis was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to find the purity and the crystal structure of the material. Morphological analysis was carried out by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) to find the morphological variation in the presence of polymer concentration compared to pristine HA. The increased aspect ratio of the HA was visible from the morphological analysis. This shape and size controlled synthesis have an important impact in many field of research.

AbstractIn this work, we propose a new silicon-based micro-fabrication technology to fabricate 3D high-density high-electrode-count neural micro-probe arrays scalable to thousands and even millions of individual electrodes with user-defined length, width, shape, and tip profile. This unique technology utilizes DRIE of ultra-high aspect-ratio holes in silicon and refilling them with multiple films to form thousands of individual needles with metal tips making up the “sea-of-electrodes” array (SEA). World-record density of 400 electrodes/mm2 in a 5184-needle array is achieved. The needles are ~0.5-1.2mm long, <20μm wide at the base, and <1μm at the tip. The silicon-based structure of these 3D array probes with sharp tips, makes them stiff enough and easily implantable in the brain to reach a targeted region without failing. Moreover, the high aspect ratio of these extremely fine needles reduces the tissue damage and improves the chronic stability. Functionality of the electrodes is investigated using acute in vivo recording in a rat barrel field cortex under isoflurane anesthesia.

The formation of novel high aspect ratio nanofibers from polyesteramides based on ε-caprolactam and ε-caprolactone is reported. Nanofibers were prepared by the electrospinning method from polymer solution. Scanning electron microscopy images of nanofiber layers revealed that the diameter of fibers depended on the nature of the solvent or the mixture of solvents used and especially on the composition of polyesteramides.

In the present study, interactions between AlN and SiAlON laminated couples were investigated after gas pressure (GPS) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX) with the aim to produce laminated composites. In the laminated couples sintered by GPS, a significant reaction zone (~100-150 μm), containing a high aspect ratio of elongated polytypoid grains, was observed at the interface. However, in the case of laminated couples sintered by SPS, a considerably thin reaction region (~2-3 μm) was observed, elongated polytypoid grain formations were also detected.
