Electrospun fibrous materials have increasing applications in regenerative medicine due to the similarity of fibre constructs to the morphology of certain extracellular matrices. Although experimentally the electrospinning method is relatively simple...

The use of thermoplastic composites based on poly(lactic) acid and phosphate glass fibres over metallic alloys for clinical restorative treatment is highly beneficial due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, difficulties in achiev... Read More about Cyclic pressure on compression-moulded bioresorbable phosphate glass fibre reinforced composites.

Quinternary phosphate-based glasses of up to 2.67 μm, deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering, were degraded in distilled water and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to investigate their degradation characteristics. Magnetron- sputtered coati... Read More about Degradation and Characterization of Resorbable Phosphate-Based Glass Thin-Film Coatings Applied by Radio-Frequency Magnetron Sputtering.

Apparent beam size definition of focused ion beams based on scanning electron microscopy images of nanodots (2015)
Journal Article
Vladov, N., Segal, J., & Ratchev, S. (2015). Apparent beam size definition of focused ion beams based on scanning electron microscopy images of nanodots. Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B Microelectronics and Nanometer Structures, 33, Article 041803. https://doi.org/10.1116/1.4926388

In this paper the new term apparent beam size of Focused Ion Beam (FIB) is introduced and an original method of its evaluation is demonstrated. Traditional methods of measuring the beam size, like the knife edge method, provide information about the...

Focused ion beam milling of brass for microinjection mould fabrication
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vladov, N., Ratchev, S., & Segal, J. Focused ion beam milling of brass for microinjection mould fabrication. Presented at International Conference on Micromanufacturing (ICOMM 2011)

In this paper focused ion beam (FIB) milling (sputtering) is demonstrated for the fabrication of brass microinjection moulding inserts which have been previously conventionally milled. It is found that FIB milling of the α phase of the material resul... Read More about Focused ion beam milling of brass for microinjection mould fabrication.
