Mice were placed on a warm blanket (37°C) and kept anesthetized with 0.5% isoflurane and sedated with chlorprothixene (20-40 μL at 0.33 mg/ml, i.m.)30 (link). Imaging was performed using a custom-built two-photon microscope (designs available at research.janelia.org/Svoboda) equipped with a resonant galvo scanning module (Thorlabs), controlled by ScanImage (scanimage.org)60 (link). The light source was a Mai Tai femtosecond pulsed laser (Spectra-Physics) running at 940 nm. The objective was a 16× water immersion lens (Nikon, 0.8 NA, 3 mm working distance). The power used was 35-50 mW for full field imaging (Fig. 2) and 20-40 mW for higher zoom imaging (Fig. 3-6).
Images were collected at 15 Hz (512 × 512 pixels, 250 μm × 250 μm; Fig. 2) or 60 Hz (256 × 256 pixels, 30 μm × 30 μm; Fig. 3), or 15 Hz (512 × 512 pixels, 30 μm × 30 μm; Fig. 4-5), or 15 Hz (512 × 512 pixels, 30 μm × 30 μm - 100 μm × 100 μm; Fig. 6). For dendritic imaging experiments (Fig. 4-6), fields of view were chosen so that extended dendritic segments were in one focal plane. At the end of each imaging session, z-stacks (1 μm step size) of the recorded cells were acquired. The coordinates of the imaged dendrites relative to the parent somata were recorded. The orientation, curvature, and the branching pattern of the dendrites together with the constellation of spines, helped to precisely identify the same field of view in long-term imaging experiments.

Example 12

There has been a growing interest in the fabrication of nanofibers derived from natural polymers due to their ability to mimic the structure and function of extracellular matrix. Electrospinning is a simple technique to obtain nano-micro fibers with customized fiber topology and composition (FIGS. 33A and 33B). The chitosan electrospun nanofibers have recently been extensively studied due to the favorable properties of chitosan such as controllable biodegradation, good biocompatibility and high mechanical strength. Currently, chitosan can be electrospun from a solution of chitosan dissolved in either trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) or acetic acid (HAc). However, processes to remove residual acid and acid salts from the electrospun material generally resulted in a swelling of fibers and deterioration of the nano-fibrous structure. Crosslinking in combination with neutralization methods also had not been effective at preventing loss of nano-fibrous structure.

The current study aimed to improve and maintain nano-fibrous and porous structure of the electrospun membranes by introducing a new post electrospinning chemical treatment. Membrane thickness was tripled in this research in order to increase the general tearing strength. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) examination (FIG. 33C) and transmission electron micrograph (TEM) examination (FIG. 33D) showed Fiber diameters of the triethanolamine/N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (TEA/t-BoC) treated membranes ranged from 40 nm to 130 nm while fiber diameters were not able to be determined for the Na2CO3 group. Membranes treated by TEA/tboc (FIG. 34A) exhibited more nano-scale fibrous structure than membranes treated by saturated Na2CO3 (FIGS. 35B-35D, as seen demonstrated in scanning electron micrographs. After immersion in PBS for 24 hours, membranes treated by TEA/tboc exhibited less than 30% swelling (FIG. 34B) and retained their nanofibrous structure, compared with membranes treated by Na2CO3 (FIGS. 35B-35D) or compared with the non-treated chitosan membrane (FIG. 35A). After soaking the TEA/tBoc treated membranes in water overnight, membranes still kept the porous structure. In both, the before and after water status, fibers kept diameters in the nanometer range (FIG. 35C). TEA/tBoC modified nanofiber membranes also well preserved their fibrous structure over 4 weeks in physiological solution compared with Na2CO3 treated membranes (FIG. 35D).

Chitosan membranes treated by TEA/tboc showed better nano-fiber morphology characteristics than membranes neutralized by saturated Na2CO3 solution before and after being soaked in PBS. Retention of the nanofibrous structure for guided tissue regeneration applications may be of benefit for enabling nutrient exchange between soft gingival tissue and bone compartments and for mimicking the natural nanofibrillar components of the extracellular matrix during regeneration.

Example 22

To a four-necked flask (1 L volume) equipped with stirring blades, a thermometer, a dropping funnel and a condenser tube, 500 mL of toluene, 30.6 g (0.11 mol) of 4,4′-(propane-2,2-diyl)bis(isocyanate-benzene), and 63.1 mg of p-methoxyphenol were added and dissolved. Next, 14.3 g (0.11 mol) of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate was weighed in a beaker, 150 mL of toluene was added, and the mixture was stirred thoroughly and transferred to a dropping funnel. The four-necked flask was immersed in an oil bath heated to 80° C., and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate was added dropwise with stirring. After completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction was continued while maintaining the temperature of an oil bath for 24 hours, leading to aging. After completion of the aging, the four-necked flask was removed from the oil bath and the reaction product was returned to room temperature, and then HPLC and FT-IR measurements were performed. Analysis conditions of the HPLC measurement are as follows: a column of ZORBAX-ODS, acetonitrile/distilled water of 7/3, a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, a multi-scanning UV detector, an RI detector and an MS detector. The FT-IR measurement was performed by an ATR method. As a result of the HPLC measurement, the raw materials 4,4′-(propane-2,2-diyl)bis(isocyanate-benzene) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate disappeared and a new peak of 2-(((4-(2-(4-isocyanate-phenyl)propane-2-yl)phenyl)carbamoyl)oxy)ethyl methacrylate (molecular weight 408.45) was confirmed. As a result of FT-IR measurement, a decrease in isocyanate absorption intensity at 2280-2250 cm−1 and a disappearance of hydroxy group absorption near 3300 cm−1 were confirmed, and a new absorption attributed to urethane group at 1250 cm−1 was confirmed. Next, to a toluene solution containing 40.8 g (0.10 mol) of the precursor compound synthesized in the above procedure, 22.2 g (0.10 mol) of 3-(triethoxysilyl)propan-1-ol was added dropwise with stirring. The reaction was performed with the immersion in an oil bath heated to 80° C. in the same way as in the first step. After completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction was continued for 24 hours, leading to aging. After completion of the aging, HPLC and FT-IR measurements were performed. As a result of the HPLC measurement, the peaks of the raw materials 2-(((4-(2-(4-isocyanate-phenyl)propane-2-yl)phenyl)carbamoyl)oxy)ethyl methacrylate and 3-(triethoxysilyl)propan-1-ol disappeared and 2-(((4-(2-(4-(((3-(triethoxysilyl)propoxy)carbonyl)amino)phenyl)propan-2-yl)phenyl)carbamoyl)oxy)ethyl methacrylate (molecular weight 630.81) was confirmed. As a result of FT-IR measurement, a disappearance of isocyanate absorption at 2280-2250 cm−1 and a disappearance of hydroxy group absorption near 3300 cm−1 were confirmed. The chemical structure formula of the compound synthesized in this synthetic example are described below.

Example 4

FIG. 1 shows the N2 adsorption isotherm of sample 2.

Bioactivity testing (ability to precipitate hydroxyapatite) was carried out on sample 2 using a simulated body fluid test.

FIG. 2 shows the absorbance spectra after 3 hours of immersion in simulated body fluid. The precipitation of hydroxyapatite is confirmed by the presence of two bands at 560 and 600 cm−1.

This is an industry standard test to demonstrate that a material is bioactive. This test is widely accepted to demonstrate that a material which is bioactive in simulated body fluid would, once in the body, be able to form bone on its surface. This is an essential property for bone substitute materials.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show a scanning electron micrograph of sample 2 after calcination.

The structure of the unreacted sample 2 shows silica spheres forming a bioactive aerogel structure.

This data demonstrates that the bone graft substitutes of the present invention are bioactive and exhibit low densities and high surface areas, compared to typically used bones graft substitutes.

Example 1

5 mg of oxidized CNT (MWCNT, average size: 12 nm×10 μm) are dispersed in 60 ml of Tris-HCl 10 mM in water (pH 8.5). The solution is ultra-sonicated until good dispersion is observed (about 1 minute). Dopamine hydrochloride (DA) is then added to reach a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml and the dispersion is stirred during 24 hours (h) at room temperature.

Example 6

Pda-coated CNT obtained according to the 2nd coating protocol were dispersed in a 50%/50% (by volume) mixture of water and ethanol so as to arrive at a CNT concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. The dispersion was sprayed on a glass substrate heated at 70° C. The number of sprayed layers was 50.

Example 13

The pda-coated CNT layer of example 6 was used to test electroless deposition. The sample was immersed in an electroless deposition solution during the desired time. The electroless solution contained glyoxilic acid (0.2 M) as reducing agent, EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 0.03 M) and CuSO4 (0.03 M). The solution was heated to between 50 and 60° C. and the pH was adjusted to 12-12.5 using NaOH. The immersion of the sample in the electroless solution led to delamination of the CNT layer from the glass substrate, probably due to H2 bubbles trapped between the CNT layer and the substrate. Although relatively fragile, the CNT layer conserved its cohesion and kept floating in the solution. When the CNT layer was progressively filled by copper, it turned became a more and more stable Cu-CNT composite (FIG. 13). This fabrication path is interesting as it allows fabricating self-supported Cu-CNT composites.

It may be worthwhile noting that delamination is not a necessary process step but it may be used to produce very thin CNT tissues. The ampacity of the composite of example 13 was slightly increased compared to copper foil in same conditions (about 8·104 A/cm2). Although this was not tested, it is expected that using CNT coated with pda containing copper seeds would improve the copper filling with the electroless deposition technique.

Example 14

125 ml of tannic acid (0.01 mg/ml)+CuSO4·5H2O (0.6 mg/ml) were prepared in water. 20 mg of oxidized CNT were added to 50 ml of this solution. The dispersion was periodically ultra-sonicated while adding tannic acid CuSO4 solution until a volume of 125 ml was reached. The dispersion was then periodically ultra-sonicated during 20 minutes. 75 ml of Tris-HCl solution (10 mM) was added and periodical ultra-sonications were carried out during 30 minutes. The pH was adjusted to a value ranging from 11 to 12 and the coated CNT were filtrated.

Example 15

The metal-ion-seeded coated CNT of example 14 were dispersed in 40 ml ethanol/water mixture (50%/50% by volume) so as to arrive at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. The dispersion was then sprayed in several layers on a on a Si—TaN (10 nm)-Ta (15 nm)-Cu (150 nm) substrate using the Paasche VL series airbrush (distance from the substrate about 15 cm. The substrate temperature was 90° C. The resulting sprayed layer (FIG. 14) had a thickness of about 3.5 μm.

Example 16

The CNT layer of example 15 was subjected to electroplating in an aqueous 0.1 M CuSO4 solution (at room temperature). The pH was adjusted to 1 by addition of H2SO4. During the electroplating (potential: −0.2 V vs SCE, duration: 30 minutes) the solution was stirred. The resulting composite (FIGS. 15 and 16) had a thickness of about 5 μm.

While specific embodiments have been described herein in detail, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and alternatives to those details could be developed in light of the overall teachings of the disclosure. Accordingly, the particular arrangements disclosed are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting as to the scope of the invention, which is to be given the full breadth of the appended claims and any and all equivalents thereof.
