Description
Summary:The nano/micro-structured materials and solid substrates are novel and exciting field of research for biotechnology applications. Especially, the porous silicon (PSi) has many attractive characteristics and is expected to several applications and devices. In this study, influences of PSi with different surface structures for cell adhesion characteristics were investigated. For investigation of cell adhesion characteristics, different surface structures of PSi substrates were fabricated. Using these PSi substrates, evaluation of the cell adhesion characteristics were carried out. In addition, in this study, Hela and COS-7 cell strains were used for evaluation of the cell adhesive characteristics.
