| Abstract | An increasing demand exists for biomaterials that are able to actively participate in the process of repair and regeneration of damaged or diseased organs and tissues. Patterning of surfaces of biomaterials with distinct chemical or physical cues is an attractive way to obtain spatial control over their interactions with the biological system. In the current study, micromoulding in capillaries method was used to pattern silicon substrates with bioinert yttria-stabilised zirconia or with bioactive calcium phosphate ceramics, both widely used biomaterials in orthopaedics and dentistry. Micrometer-scale patterns consisted of parallel lines with varying width and spacing. Both ceramics were successfully deposited on the substrate in a pattern defined by the mould. While the yttria-stabilised zirconia pattern was highly homogenous and smooth (Rq = 5.5 nm), the calcium phosphate pattern, consisting of dicalcium phosphate anhydrous before, and of β-tricalcium phosphate after annealing, exhibited a less homogenous morphology and higher roughness (Rq = 893 nm). Both materials allowed attachment and proliferation of the MG-63 osteosarcoma cell line, independent of the pattern used. While a preferential orientation of cells in the direction of the pattern lines was observed for all patterns, this effect was more pronounced on the lines with a width of up to 20 μm on both yttria-stabilised zirconia and calcium phosphate ceramics, as compared to wider patterns. Furthermore, the cells retained an elongated morphology for a longer period of time on narrow patterns. Micromoulding in capillaries appeared to be a suitable method to pattern both types of ceramics, however further optimisation is needed to improve homogeneity and obtain better control over the chemical phase and crystalline structure of calcium phosphate patterns. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
