This paper investigates the suitability of inkjet printing for the manufacturing of dye-sensitized solar cells. A binder-free TiO2 nanoparticle ink was formulated and printed onto a FTO glass substrate. The printed layer was fabricated into a cell with an active area of 0.25 cm2 and an efficiency of 3.5%.

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum
0 Views •
2023
The thoracic or rib cage forms the body's thorax (chest) portion. Its primary function in the body is to protect vital organs in the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and the lungs. It consists of 12 pairs of ribs with their costal cartilages and the sternum. The ribs are anchored posteriorly to the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12). The sternum is the elongated bony structure on the anterior side of the thoracic cage. It consists of three parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process.
FAQs
Its structural strength allows the implant to support the space created after diseased disc removal. By restoring disc height and helping maintain vertebral alignment, it can preserve more appropriate relationships between spinal segments. This mechanical role complements decompression and fusion during surgical reconstruction and healing.
The internal space accommodates bone graft placed during spinal fusion. That graft provides the material needed to encourage bone growth across the treated segment, while the cage maintains the reconstructed space. Together, these features support the transition from immediate structural stabilization toward a more lasting fused connection.
Porous or textured titanium surfaces can promote osseointegration, meaning new bone attaches to the implant. This biological attachment may strengthen the connection between the cage and surrounding bone, complementing the device’s immediate structural support. The surface design therefore contributes to lasting stability rather than functioning only as an external support.
During the procedure, surgeons remove the diseased disc and place the cage between the vertebrae. Bone graft is positioned within the cage’s internal space, and the implant helps restore disc height and alignment. This sequence combines removal of the damaged structure, reconstruction of the space, and encouragement of bone growth across the segment.
The device is used most commonly when spinal bone or disc structures require surgical reconstruction, particularly in fusion procedures following disc removal. It can support decompression and stabilization while helping preserve spinal mechanics. More broadly, its role is to stabilize and support damaged or surgically reconstructed bone.
Bone growth across the segment can convert the reconstructed space into a more stable fused connection. When new bone also attaches to the titanium surface through osseointegration, the implant and surrounding skeletal structures can work together more securely. This outcome supports lasting stability after decompression, fusion, or related spinal reconstruction.
