  • Chitosan hydrogel micro-bio-devices with complex capillary patterns via reactive-diffusive self-assembly 

    Adibnia, Vahid; Mirbagheri, Marziye; Latreille, Pierre-Luc; Faivre, Jimmy; Cécyre, Bruno; Bouchard, Jean-François; Martinez, Vincent A.; Delair, Thierry; David, Laurent; Hwang, Dae Kun; Banquy, Xavier (Elsevier, 2019-08-29)
    We present chitosan hydrogel microfluidic devices with self-assembled complex microcapillary patterns, conveniently formed by a diffusion-reaction process. These patterns in chitosan hydrogels are formed by a single-step procedure involving diffusion ...
  • Lubrication and wear protection of micro-structured hydrogels using bioinspired fluids 

    Faivre, Jimmy; Montembault, Alexandra; Sudre, Guillaume; Shrestha, Buddha R.; Xie, Guojun; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Benayoun, Stéphane; Banquy, Xavier; Delair, Thierry; David, Laurent (American Chemical Society, 2018-11-21)
    We report the fabrication and the use of a bioinspired synovial fluid acting as a lubricant fluid and anti-wear agent at soft and porous chitosan hydrogel tribopairs. This synthetic synovial fluid is composed of sodium hyaluronate (HA) and a bottle-brush ...
