Nano-Micro Tubes & Fibers for Biomedical Applications

Abstract: Polymer based nanometer to micrometer size fibers and tubes are the bases for a wide range of industrial and medical applications and various research branches. They are capable of guiding light, carrying electricity and liquid or exchanging heat. Two production systems were established and built. These systems enable us to produce a wide range of tiny tubes & fibers. Light, nano-micro tubes & fibers, beads, nanoparticles and biological entities and agents (e.g. cells, antibodies and nerve growth factor) were used in this master work. The main focus in this work is on nerve regenerative implants and neural electrodes.
