The main task of October concerns investigations under kinetics of proteins’ release from polyelectrolyte coatings which were modified by chemical cross-linking or silver/SiC nanoparticles incorporation. The ELISA immunoassay was performed in order to assess level of VEGF growth factor concentration which is essential for coatings settlement by endothelial cells.

Basically, I spent most of October writing the first chapters
of my doctoral dissertation. I wrote "Introduction" and "State of the field" parts.

Implementaion Fortran codes for viscosity and surface tension modelling. Two wariants have been used, the first one includes only binary parmeters and second variant considers binary and ternary interaction parameters. For visosity modellig, Kaptay, KPR and Gasior models have been used while Butler formulation for surafce tension of liaquid ternary systems.

Recently, I was working on cells migration and directional growth on coatings modified by the migration channels. This month passed me faster than usual due to my participation in 26th Annual Conference European Society for Biomaterials (ESB) conference in Liverpool, the XV International Conference on Electron Microscopy (EM 2014) in Krakow and the 3rd Joint PhD seminar in Dresden. During all this meetings I presented results related to SiC nanoparticles in PEMs research field. This September was unique due to my dissertation “opening talk” on the one of Friday seminar series and start of long journey called PhD thesis writing…

I attended the ICOTOM conference held in Dresden, where I had a talk
whose content could be more or less thought of as
a brief summary of my work carried out during these PhD studies.
