A method of culturing adherent cells is provided, wherein the method comprises providing a carrier for growing the cells, comprising one or more surfaces; and one or more relief features/indentations are present on one or more of the surfaces, wherein the carrier has a length at least about 0.2 mm, a width at least about 0.2 mm, and a height in a range from about 0.012 mm to 0.5 mm; and wherein each of the relief features/indentations has a height above the surfaces in a range from about 2 to 200 &#x3bc;m, and width in a range from about 20 to 200 &#x3bc;m; seeding the cells on the carriers; and growing the cells on the carrier.

Cell carrier, methods of making and use

A method of making a carrier for growing cells, including providing a polymer film; embossing a patterned surface one or more sides of the polymer film with an embossing roller; generating a pattern of structured indentations on the polymer film; and discretizing the patterned polymer film into a plurality of portions. The embossing pattern generates relief features on the carrier surface. An alternative method of making a carrier is also provided, including extruding a polymer film; embossing a patterned surface on the polymer film with a roller; generating a pattern of structured indentations on the polymer film; imparting a surface treatment to the film; and discretizing the treated polymer film into a plurality of portions.

Methods of making cell carrier

A fiber preform architecture and method of making, including a plurality of fiber bands. Each band of the plurality of fiber bands is placed at a time, at a predetermined position and orientation, to generate an interwoven and interlocking pattern between the fiber bands. Each of the plurality of fiber bands is formed of a plurality of fiber tows, positioned side by side at a predetermined spacing to define one or more gaps between each tow in the fiber band and define a secondary based interleaving within each of the fiber bands. The plurality of fiber bands are interwoven in an in-plane and out-of-plane orientation by interleaving each of the plurality of fiber bands with one or more of the plurality of fiber bands previously laid down and not in a common plane. The plurality of fiber bands include three or more different orientation angles and provide uniformity in coverage.

Fiber preform architecture for composite articles and method of fabrication

An application and infusion system for applying a resin to one or more fiber tows and for infusing the fiber tows with the resin, wherein each of the fiber tows is moving at a respective fiber speed. The application and infusion system includes a deposition and infusion system comprising one or more nozzles configured to deposit the resin on a respective one of the fiber tows. The system further includes a controller configured to control a flow rate of the resin through each of the nozzles relative to the fiber speed of the respective ones of the fiber tows. Other aspects of the application and infusion system are also provided.
