Atomic-force microscopy image of polyester/polyethylene fiber containing 1120 nanodomains and showing domain coalescence and domain dimensional instabilities, particularly in the outward radial direction (courtesy J. Hinestroza). We are using microfluidic techniques to pattern micron-scale portions of these nanofibers for material characterization.
An image (using fluorescence microscopy) of chondrocytes seeded into an engineered tissue matrix. We are studying the growth and matrix synthesis of these cells in response to varying physicochemical stimuli, particularly electrokinetic effects associated with physiological loading.
