Biohybrid microcylinders are fabricated using electrohydrodynamic cojetting followed by a surface chemistry approach to maximize cell-adhesive characteristics. As proper cell alignment and mechanical stiffness are important components of bioactuator design, spatial cell selectivity and stress/strain properties of microcylinders are characterized to demonstrate their capability of response to rat cardio-myocyte contraction. These microcylinders can find applications in a host of micromechanical systems.
生物杂交微圆柱体是通过电流体动力学共喷射,然后采用表面化学方法制造的,以最大限度地提高细胞粘附特性。由于适当的细胞排列和机械刚度是生物致动器设计的重要组成部分,因此对微圆柱体的空间细胞选择性和应力/应变特性进行了表征,以证明它们对大鼠心肌细胞收缩的响应能力。这些微圆柱体可应用于许多微机械系统中。
