Zusammenfassung: | A device for laser welding of biological tissues was developed. The main elements of the device are a laser guidance system and an adaptive thermal stabilization system. The laser solder is based on a water−albumin dispersion of single-layer carbon nanotubes (SCNTs). The properties of the SCNTs were tested using scanning electron microscopy. The surface of the weld was found to have cracks up to 10 μm in width and 150 μm in length. The cracks contained SCNT bundles |
