Single solvent based film casting method for the production of porous polymer films (2018)
Journal Article
Hossain, K. M. Z., Felfel, R. M., Ogbilikana, P. S., Thakker, D., Grant, D. M., Scotchford, C., & Ahmed, I. (2018). Single solvent based film casting method for the production of porous polymer films. Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, 303, https://doi.org/10.1002/mame.201700628

A single solvent based film casting process for fabricating porous polymer films was developed in this study. The porous film was produced by mixing concentrated polylactic acid/ chloroform solution (20 wt%) and fresh chloroform solvent followed by f...

Topographical and chemical effects of electrochemically assisted deposited hydroxyapatite coatings on osteoblast-like cells (2013)
Journal Article
Pegg, E. C., Matboli, F., Marriott, T., Khan, I., & Scotchford, C. (2014). Topographical and chemical effects of electrochemically assisted deposited hydroxyapatite coatings on osteoblast-like cells. Journal of Biomaterials Applications, 28(6), https://doi.org/10.1177/0885328213487410

A recently commercialised hydroxyapatite electrochemically assisted chemical deposition technique (BoneMaster) has been shown to induce increased bone apposition; whether this response is caused by the surface topography or chemistry is unknown. An i... Read More about Topographical and chemical effects of electrochemically assisted deposited hydroxyapatite coatings on osteoblast-like cells.

Transient serum exposure regimes to support dual differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (2012)
Journal Article
France, L., Scotchford, C., Grant, D., Rashidi, H., Popov, A., & Sottile, V. (2014). Transient serum exposure regimes to support dual differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, 8(8), https://doi.org/10.1002/term.1567

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can generate both osteoblasts and chondrocytes, represent an ideal resource for orthopaedic repair using tissue-engineering approaches. One major difficulty for the development of osteochondral constructs us... Read More about Transient serum exposure regimes to support dual differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells.

Scanning electron microscopy of biomaterials (2004)
Book Chapter
McKinlay, K., Scotchford, C., Grant, D., Oliver, J., King, J. R., & Brown, P. D. (2004). Scanning electron microscopy of biomaterials. In S. McVitie, & D. McComb (Eds.), Electron Microscopy and Analysis 2003: Proceedings of the Institute of Physics Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group Conference, University of Oxford, 3-5 September 2003. Institute of Physics Publishing

A comparison of conventional high vacuum scanning electron microscopy (HVSEM), environmental SEM (ESEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) in the assessment of cell-material interactions is made. The processing of cells cultured for conven... Read More about Scanning electron microscopy of biomaterials.
