Osteocyte Enhancement of Angiogenesis In Vitro

February 14, 2007
Author(s)
Erica Takai, Juan M. Taboas, Rocky Tuan, Steven D. Hudson
It is well known that an intimate relationship exists between vascularization and bone formation during development and fracture healing, where new bone formation is preceded by local vascularization. A recent rat exercise model has demonstrated that

Encapsulated Chondrocyte Response to Pulsatile Flow Bioreactor

August 16, 2006
Author(s)
James A. Cooper, W Li, L A. Bailey, Steven D. Hudson, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Kristi S. Anseth, Rocky Tuan, N Washburn
We have developed a bioreactor using microfluidic techniques that allow for dynamic culture conditions and measurement of the fluid flow impinging upon a three-dimensional (3-D) tissue engineering (TE) scaffold. Chondrocytes in scaffolds have been shown to

Mirofluidic Appproach for Rapid Interfacial Tensiometry

February 1, 2006
Author(s)
J Cabral, Steven Hudson
We report a microfluidic instrument to rapidly measure the interfacial tension of multi-component immiscible liquids. The measurement principle rests upon the deformation and retraction dynamics of drops under extensional flow and was implemented in

Breakup of Carbon Nanotube Flocs in Microfluidic Traps

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
P R. Start, Steven Hudson, Erik K. Hobbie, B MiglerKalman
The critical stress to break flocs of multiwalled-carbon nanotubes suspended in low-molecular-weight polymer fluid is measured in planar elongational flow. Through image analysis of aggregates and their fragments, the extension rate of the flow and the

Dynamics of Wormlike Micelles in Elongational Flows

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Philip A. Stone, Paul Dalhaimer, Dennis E. Discher, Eric J. Amis, Steven D. Hudson, Kalman D. Migler
Micelles formed of amphiphilic diblock copolymers may have applications in drug delivery and in understanding the physics of biological structures. Wormlike micelles, in particular, provide an opportunity to study the behavior of semiflexible rods in

The Influence of Clay and Elastomer Concentration on the Morphology and Fracture Energy in Preformed Acrylic Rubber Dispersed Clay Filled Epoxy Nanocomposites

November 1, 2005
Author(s)
G Balakrishnan, P R. Start, D T. Raghavan, Steven Hudson, D Yebassa
The influence of toughener and clay concentration on the morphology and mechanical properties of three-phase, rubber-modified epoxy nanocomposites was studied. Nanocomposite samples were prepared by adding octadecyl ammonium ion exchanged clay to a

Microfluidic interfacial tensiometry

August 17, 2005
Author(s)
Steven D. Hudson, J Cabral, Kathryn L. Beers, W Goodrum, Eric J. Amis
A microfluidic approach to measure interfacial tension of immiscible fluids rapidly is reported. This method rests upon quantitative real-time analysis of two-phase flow and drop-shape dynamics. Drops of prescribed dimension and spacing are produced

Microfluidic Interfacial Tensiometry

August 1, 2005
Author(s)
Steven D. Hudson, J Cabral, Wenhua Zhang, Jai A. Pathak, Kathryn L. Beers
Immiscible fluids find diverse applications, yet their interfacial tension σ remains a fundamental property that governs their performance. Therefore, accurate and efficient methods to measure interfacial tension facilitate development and refinement of

Colloidal Particles Coated and Stabilized by DNA-Wrapped Carbon Nanotubes

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Erik K. Hobbie, Barry J. Bauer, J S. Stephens, Matthew Becker, P M. McGuiggan, Steven Hudson, Haonan Wang
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are dispersed in water via wrapping with short segments of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Small-angle neutron scattering suggests that the aqueous SWNT suspensions are only marginally stable, and we exploit this to make

Helical Porous Protein Mimics

August 12, 2004
Author(s)
Virgil Percec, A E. Dulcey, Y Miura, U Edlund, V S. Balagurusamy, Steven Hudson, Paul A. Heiney, H Duan, S N. Magonov
Pore forming proteins, peptides and their remodeled structures perform a diversity of biological and biologically inspired functions. They include viral helical coats,1 transmembrane channels2,3, mediated protein folding4 and reversible encapsulation5

Flow Simulation of a Microfluidic Analog of the Four-Roll Mill

March 1, 2004
Author(s)
Frederick R. Phelan Jr., Steven Hudson
The fluid dynamics of channel geometries for liquid state materials characterization in microfluidic devices are investigated using finite element flow simulation and flow classification criteria. A pressure driven microchannel device is sought that has an

Microfluidic Analogue of the 4-Roll Mill

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
Steven D. Hudson, Frederick R. Phelan Jr., Matthew D. Handler, J Cabral, Kalman D. Migler, Eric J. Amis
Microfluidic technology promises to revolutionize analytical (bio)chemistry, because molecular separations are faster, less expensive and more efficient than in traditional large scale equipment. Materials and complex-fluid sciences can likewise benefit

The Effect of Surfactant on the Efficiency of Shear-Induced Drop Coalescence

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Steven D. Hudson, A M. Jamieson, B Burkhart
Shear-induced drop coalescence efficiency e is measured by in situ videomicroscopy of emulsions of poly(propylene glycol) and poly(ethylene glycol), with poly(ethyleneglycol-b-propyleneoxide-b-ethyleneglycol) block copolymer surfactant. Sorption of
