The surface modification of biomaterials plays a significant role
in determining the outcome of biological-material interactions.
With the appropriate modification a material's surface can be
tailored to improve biocompatibility, adhesion and cell
interactions. Consequently surface modification is vital in the
development and design of new biomaterials and medical devices.
Surface modification of biomaterials reviews both established
surface modifications and those still in the early stages of
research and discusses how they can be used to optimise biological
interactions and enhance clinical performance. Part one begins with
chapters looking at various types and techniques of surface
modification including plasma polymerisation, covalent binding of
poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), heparinisation, peptide
functionalisation and calcium phosphate deposition before going on
to examine metal surface oxidation and biomaterial surface
topography to control cellular response with particular reference
to technologies, cell behaviour and biomedical applications. Part
two studies the analytical techniques and applications of surface
modification with chapters on analysing biomaterial surface
chemistry, surface structure, morphology and topography before
moving onto discuss modifying biomaterial surfaces to optimise
interactions with blood, control infection, optimise interactions
with soft tissues, repair and regenerate nerve cells, control stem
cell growth and differentiation and to optimise interactions with
bone. The distinguished editor and international team of
contributors to Surface modification of biomaterials have produced
a unique overview and detailed chapters on a range of surface
modification techniques which will provide an excellent resource
for biomaterials researchers and scientists and engineers concerned
with improving the properties of biomaterials. It will also be
beneficial for academics researching surface modification.
