A novel jet-based nano-hydroxyapatite patterning technique for osteoblast guidance.
This work demonstrates, with cellular interaction evidence, a novel electrohydrodynamic deposition method to manufacture biomedical implants. A patent (Eur 09764558.4) was granted, a Royal Society Brian Mercer Feasibility Award (2013) won, and work led to collaboration with Kings College, Cambridge University and Orthopaedic Research UK, who awarded a post-doctoral fellowship to optimise it. EPSRC has also awarded a grant (EP/H00734211) to exploit the work and a UK company (JRI Orthopaedics Ltd) have co-funded a PhD-studentship to develop selected applications. Edirisinghe presented an invited keynote paper on this at the 14th International Conference:Advances in Materials and Processing Technologies (2011, Turkey).
