Scope:
In the decades, advances in the developments of biomedical materials, such as bio-detection, biochemical devices, implantable materials, bioengineering materials, have been achieved. The interaction, including the adsorption dynamics, binding and release, between materials and biological substances at the biointerface is an important issue for these biomedical materials. In this symposium, we will mainly focus on cell/bacteria adhesion, activation, spreading, growth and related infection on the surface of the materials. The discussion will also cover the relationships between the materials and tissue or cell behaviors.
Topics:
- Nanostructure Interfaces
- Nanotube/nanoparticle interfaces
- Smart biointerface materials
- Chiral biointerface materials
- Artificial surfaces
