Light is an electromagnetic field, and the field of single-color, or monochromatic light oscillates at all points in space with the same frequency but varying relative delays, or phases.
Polarization refers to the trajectory of the oscillations of the electromagnetic field at each point in space.
The corticosteroid DEX, a powerful ameliorator of inflammation, was released from the polymer by external application of an Electromagnetic field for 2 hours/day for a week.
The nanowires respond to an electromagnetic field generated by a separate device, which can be used to control the release of a preloaded drug.
a conductive polymer material that responds to electromagnetic fields. Wen Gao, a postdoctoral researcher in the Center for Paralysis Research who worked on the project with Borgens
when the correct electromagnetic field is applied, the nanowires release small amounts of the payload. This process can be started
by using the corresponding electromagnetic field stimulating device, Borgens said. The researchers captured and transported a patch of the nanowire carpet on water droplets that were used used to deliver it to the site of injury.
The magnitude and wave form of the electromagnetic field must be tuned to obtain the optimum release of the drug,
The electromagnetic field is likely affecting the interaction between the nanomaterial and the drug molecules, Borgens said."
Once the electromagnetic field is removed, the polymer snaps back to the initial architecture and retains the remaining drug molecules."
"For each different drug the team would need to find the corresponding optimal electromagnetic field for its release,
Functional Drug Delivery Using Electromagnetic field-Responsive Polypyrrole Nanowires, "was published in the journal Langmuir. Other team members involved in the research include John Cirillo,
who designed and constructed the electromagnetic field stimulating system; Youngnam Cho, a former faculty member at Purdue's Center for Paralysis Research;
and an electromagnetic field was applied for two hours a day for one week. By the end of the week the treated mice had a weaker GFAP signal than the control groups,
but were exposed not to the electromagnetic field. In some cases, treated mice had no detectable GFAP signal.
