  • Abstract
    A technique to coat three dimensional surfaces with silicon nanowires was used to create test devices to characterize the adhesion of microspheres to a model of the human intestine with the end goal of increasing bioavailability in drug delivery. Results indicate negligible toxicity and significant improvements in adhesion over conventional technologies.
