Polymer Biointerfaces

Dear Colleagues Polymer biointerfaces are considered a suitable alternative to the improvement and development of numerous applications. The optimization of polymer surface properties can control several biological processes such as cell adhesion proliferation viability and enhanced extracellular matrix secretion functions at biointerfaces. This printed Special Issue on Polymer Biointerfaces is focused on fundamental and applied research on polymers and systems with biological origin. Submissions contain both polymer material background and descriptions of interacting biological phenomena or relevance to prospective applications in biomedical biochemical biophysical biotechnological food pharmaceutical or cosmetic fields. Special attention has been given to polymer bio-surface modification bio-coatings cell-polymer surface interactions self-assembling monolayers on polymers in-vivo and in-vitro systems protein-polymer surface interaction polysaccharide-polymer interactions biotribology bio chip biosensors nano-bio interfaces coatings biofilms adhesion phenomena and molecular recognition among others.
