The present invention generally relates to nanoscale wires and tissue engineering. Systems and methods are provided in various embodiments for preparing cell scaffolds that can be used for growing cells or tissues, where the cell scaffolds comprise nanoscale wires. In some cases, the nanoscale wires can be connected to electronic circuits extending externally of the cell scaffold. Such cell scaffolds can be used to grow cells or tissues which can be determined and/or controlled at very high resolutions, due to the presence of the nanoscale wires, and such cell scaffolds will find use in a wide variety of novel applications, including applications in tissue engineering, prosthetics, pacemakers, implants, or the like. This approach thus allows for the creation of fundamentally new types of functionalized cells and tissues, due to the high degree of electronic control offered by the nanoscale wires and electronic circuits.

An epoxy-functionalized polyorganosiloxane toughener providing toughening properties for thermosetting resins is described. The epoxy-functionalized polyorganosiloxane toughener is an epoxy-functionalized siloxane polyether with a siloxane backbone, at least one epoxy-containing alkyl chain, and at least one alkoxyl polyether chain, each said at least one epoxy-containing alkyl chain and at least one alkoxyl polyether chain grafted to the siloxane backbone. Also disclosed is a thermosetting resin-based composition comprising the epoxy-functionalized polyorganosiloxane toughener of claim and at least one of an epoxy resin, a hardener, and an accelerator.
