Article Abstract
Carbon fiber and carbon fiber disc microelectrodes are widely used for electrochemical detection of biochemicals released from cells. However, fabricating these types of microelectrodes is difficult and time-consuming. Here, we report an easy-to-fabricate, carbon powder-filled microelectrode consisting of a pulled glass capillary backfilled with carbon powder. Carbon tip size and responsiveness can be controlled by adjusting the settings of the puller. Carbon powder-filled microelectrodes with tip opening diameters of 7-24 μm detected sub-micromolar to sub-millimolar levels of dopamine and catecholamines released from PC-12 cells. This simple microelectrode should promote further work on cellular and tissue electrochemistry.

Using as thermal reflection coating fillers is a significant recycle method for the largely available by-product of shell powders in aquaculture. However, the organics in the shell powder harm its reflection ability. To enhance the thermal reflection performance of the shell powder filled coatings, in this work, the calcined shell powders were used to fill coatings, and the performance of the coatings filled by the calcined shell powders under different temperatures was comparably investigated.

The increasing use of PEEK (poly-ether-ether-ketone) as a substitute for metal implant components has led to the suggestion that it could also be used as an alternative to titanium in the field of dental implants. A major requirement for dental implant materials is their resistance to cyclic loading due to mastication. A special fatigue test was designed to evaluate the elastic behavior and long-term form stability of cylindrically shaped PEEK specimens of 4, 5 and 6mm in diameter, using 11 different PEEK materials of various grades: unfilled, filled with titanium dioxide or barium sulfate powder, reinforced with short carbon fibers or short glass fibers, and reinforced with continuous carbon fibers.

Dental implants are mostly fabricated of titanium. Potential problems associated with these implants are discussed in the literature, for example, overloading of the jawbone during mastication due to the significant difference in the elastic moduli of titanium (110 GPa) and bone (≈1-30 GPa). Therefore poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) could represent an alternative biomaterial (elastic modulus 3-4 GPa).
