Biomaterials can generally be produced either in nature or synthesized in the laboratory using a variety of chemical approaches utilizing metallic components or ceramics. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, Biosurfaces builds upon real–life applications elucidating the contrasting requirements of materials in their interfaces with biological environment. The author provides students, scientists, and researchers with a birds–eye overview of critical requirements, followed by a description of the fundamental mechanisms of protein adsorption, platelet, and cell–adhesion. Featuring numerous case studies and applications throughout, this graduate–level text covers surface reactivity, biochemistry, substrates, cleaning, preparation, and coatings.
