Biocompatible Surfaces
lecture
Master
2
Semester 2/4
Spring semester
• The biocompatibility and its relation to the application of biomaterials. Polymeric
• biomaterials, the dynamics of polymer surfaces. The analysis of the „bio response‖ as an
• interfacial phenomenon. • Concepts of surface modification and design. Experimental techniques to characterize the
• interaction between biomaterials and bioliquids. The role of protein adsorption, its
• characteristic features and possible investigation.
Practical examples: implants, medical devices, drug delivery systems.
