A comprehensive overview of smart and responsive surfaces inbiotechnology and their applications
A wave of recent advances in cell biology, biophysics,chemistry, and materials science has enabled the development of anew generation of smart biomaterials. Intelligent Surfaces inBiotechnology: Scientific and Engineering Concepts, EnablingTechnologies, and Translation to Bio-Oriented Applications providesreaders with a comprehensive overview of surface modifications andtheir applications, including coverage of the physico-chemicalproperties, 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 ofbiosensing and biodiagnostics, while the second part focuses moreon coatings for medical devices, drug delivery, and tailoredcell-surface interactions. The book explores intelligent surfaceapplications such as tissue engineering, drug targeting anddelivery, wound healing and anti-infection strategies, biosensors,nanopatterning, and bioinspired design of novel responsivematerials and multifunctional surfaces.
Designed to aid scientists and engineers in understanding therapidly developing field of biofunctional surfaces, IntelligentSurfaces in Biotechnology is an edited volume with each chapterwritten by a respected expert and featuring examples taken from themost state-of-the-art developments in the discipline.

Weitere Infos & Material


H. Michelle Grandin currently works as a scientific writerand consultant in the field of tissue regeneration and implantsurfaces for dental applications. Previously, she worked as asenior research scientist in the biointerface group of MarcusTextor at ETH Zurich. There, she developed a waveguide fluorescencemicroscope for the study of bio-interactions in the near-field aswell as leading a group in the development of 3D single cellularmicrowell arrays for application in stem cell and cancer research.
Marcus Textor is a Professor Emeritus at ETH Zurich,Department of Materials. He was head of a research group dedicatedto surfaces and interfaces in bio-related fields of materialscience. His research interests cover both fundamental aspects ofthe behavior of materials in contact with biological milieus andthe design and development of surfaces that elicit biospecificresponses.
