For the continuous monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of neural tissue, implantable probes are required. However, sometimes such neural probes (usually composed of silicon) become encapsulated with non-conductive, undesirable glial scar tissue. Similarly for orthopaedic implants, biomaterials (usually titanium and/o…

Lanthanide doped sol–gel glasses are an attractive type of luminescent material which can be processed at ambient temperatures. However, the solubility of the lanthanide complexes in the sol–gel matrix can be a problem and it is difficult to obtain a uniform distribution of the complexes (avoidance of cluster formatio…

The packaging industry has dramatically increased the number of packaging systems and designs made of plastics over recent decades. Plastics, in contrast with more traditional packaging materials such as glass and metals, are permeable systems that permit the exchange of low molecular weight compounds, e.g. gases and…
