Abstract: | The interaction between cells and biomaterials has been mimicked using nylon microparticles as pseudo-cells and PLMA and PIBMA as biomaterial model acrylate polymers. The shift of fundamental resonance frequencies was negative for both polymers, indicating mass-coupling to the sensor surface. The shifts of the 3rd, 5th and 7th overtone frequencies were initially positive for both polymers, indicating a particle slip or wobbling on the surface. The QCM technique could discriminate between the two different polymers, showing increased interaction between microparticle and PLMA. The dissipation shift was positive for all overtones on both polymers, but again with faster and more prominent response for PLMA. |
