Marie Curie Fellowship: Smart multi Stimuli-responsive Supports for controlled cell growth (Three S) | ||
Initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition (iCVD) is used to synthetize the smart stimuli-responsie material and x-ray based reflectivity techniques to control the response. Cells respond differently to substrates with different stiffnesses. We will develop a light-responsive hydrogel, whose water uptake changes with light irradiation, resulting in stiffness change. The structural changes in the film will be monitored by X-ray scattering and the water uptake changes by X-ray reflectivity (XRR) using humidity controlled cells and temperature-controlled stage. | ||
