Abstract

The feasibility of using nanostructured substrates with arrays of vertically aligned nanorods to support neurite growth was assessed. The developed nanostructures and their surface topography were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and noncontact atomic force microscopy (AFM). The nanostructures were first sterilized using ultraviolet (UV) radiation for two hours for promoting cell adhesion. The AFM images of noncontact scans of the topography of the developed nanostructured substrates were shown.
