Biomaterials: Protein–Surface Interactions
The study of protein–surface interactions represents one of the most important topics in the field of biomaterials, and as such, it has been a focus of intensive study for several decades. The reason for the great interest in this topic is the realization that protein– surface interactions are fundamentally responsible for the biocompatibility of medical devices, or the lack thereof. When a sol...
متن کاملPlasma-surface modification of biomaterials
Plasma-surface modification (PSM) is an effective and economical surface treatment technique for many materials and of growing interests in biomedical engineering. This article reviews the various common plasma techniques and experimental methods as applied to biomedical materials research, such as plasma sputtering and etching, plasma implantation, plasma deposition, plasma polymerization, las...
متن کاملStudies on Surface Modification of Silicone Biomaterials
This paper presents our studies on surface modification of silicone elastomer by collagen grafting/coating and electron beam irradiation. Two types of collagen hydrolysates with different molecular weights were obtained and characterized, which were used in experiments. Both silicone elastomer crosslinking and collagen grafting on the surface of silicone elastomer were achieved by electron beam...
متن کاملSurface behaviour of biomaterials: the theta surface for biocompatibility.
"Biomaterials" are non-living substances selected to have predictable interactions with contacting biological phases, in applications ranging from medical/dental implants to food processing to control of biofouling in the sea. More than 30 years of empirical observations of the surface behaviours of various materials in biological settings, when correlated with the contact-angle-determined Crit...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy in biomaterials surface science.
Recent progress in surface science, nanotechnology and biophysics has cast new light on the correlation between the physicochemical properties of biomaterials and the resulting biological response. One experimental tool that promises to generate an increasingly more sophisticated knowledge of how proteins, cells and bacteria interact with nanostructured surfaces is the atomic force microscope (...
