A comprehensive overview of smart and responsive surfaces in biotechnology and their applications

A wave of recent advances in cell biology, biophysics, chemistry, and materials science has enabled the development of a new generation of smart biomaterials. Intelligent Surfaces in Biotechnology: Scientific and Engineering Concepts, Enabling Technologies, and Translation to Bio-Oriented Applications provides readers with a comprehensive overview of surface modifications and their applications, including coverage of the physico-chemical properties, characterization methods, smart coating technologies, and demonstration of performance in vitro and in vivo.

The first part of the book covers applications in the fields of biosensing and biodiagnostics, while the second part focuses more on coatings for medical devices, drug delivery, and tailored cell-surface interactions. The book explores intelligent surface applications such as tissue engineering, drug targeting and delivery, wound healing and anti-infection strategies, biosensors, nanopatterning, and bioinspired design of novel responsive materials and multifunctional surfaces.

Designed to aid scientists and engineers in understanding the rapidly developing field of biofunctional surfaces, Intelligent Surfaces in Biotechnology is an edited volume with each chapter written by a respected expert and featuring examples taken from the most state-of-the-art developments in the discipline.

Industry Reviews

?The present book with its 350 pages is not a textbook but reading for experts and inspires scientists and engineers to further investigations to tackle the transition from synthetic to living materials, as it is meant by the term "intelligent interfaces".  The presented "smart" biosensors and medical devices demonstrate nicely, how we can learn from nature and make profit of its impressive "inventions" in our modern life.?  (Tenside Surfactants Detergents, 1 May 2012)
