    Abstract: An imaging system includes a sample mount for holding a sample, a light source configured to emit a light beam, a diffuser configured to transform the light beam into a speckle illumination beam, a mirror configured to reflect the speckle illumination beam toward the sample, a scanning mechanism configured to scan the mirror to a plurality of mirror angles such that the speckle illumination beam is incident on the sample at a plurality of angles of incidence, and an image sensor configured to acquire a plurality of images as the mirror is being scanned. Each respective image corresponds to a respective angle of incidence. The imaging system further includes a processor configured to process the plurality of images to recover a complex profile of the sample based on positional shifts extracted from the plurality of images.

    Abstract: A load-bearing bone fixation composite includes a polymer matrix, a plurality of polymer fibers aligned along a common axis and disposed in the polymer matrix, wherein the polymer matrix binds the surface of the polymer fibers, and a plurality of high aspect ratio nanorods coating at least a portion of each of the polymer fibers, wherein the long axis of at least a portion of the nanorods is aligned with the common axis, and wherein the high aspect nanorods have an aspect ratio of 10 or greater. Further included is a bone fixation device including the foregoing composite. A method of bone fixation comprises affixing the foregoing composite to a site of a load-bearing bone fracture, or maxillofacial bone fracture. Also included are methods of making the composites.
