NIRT: Nanostructured Composites Mimicking Bone

0404000 Gower该提案是响应纳米科学与工程倡议，NSF 03-043，类别NIRT而收到的。该申请中的拟议工作是制备仿生原纤维内矿化定向胶原（BIMOC）材料，其将用作研究天然骨的纳米结构构造的合成模型。通过消除更高层次的结构，这将使个体表征纳米结构对机械性能和生物功能的影响。

0404000GowerThis proposal was received in response to Nanoscale Science and Engineering initiative, NSF 03-043, category NIRT.The proposed work in this application is to prepare a Biomimetic Intrafibrillar-Mineralized Oriented-Collagen (BIMOC) material, which will serve as a synthetic model for studying the nanostructured architecture of natural bone. By eliminating the higher levels of structure, this will enable individual characterization of the influence of nanoscale structure on mechanical properties and biological function.
