  1. 344. Plasma-inspired biomaterials (plenary)
    Uros Cvelbar (Jozef Stefan Institute)

    Biointerfaces
    Invited

    Plasma as a discharge state of the gas is considered nowadays a cutting edge tool which can manipulate objects at the atomic or molecular scale. On the other hand, the biomaterials are substances that are engineered to possess certain properties which can control the interactions with components of living systems, inducing favourable response from the biological entities, and as such can...

    The achieving of rigorous control over the procedures aiming at modifying surfaces by selective adhesion of bioactive molecules is a mandatory step in view of the realistic applicability of bioengineered materials in the field of tissue engineering. In this context, we report a proof-of-concept study carried out on a Self Assembling Peptide (SAP) on purpose functionalized with cysteine (Cys),...

    Since the discovery of porous silicon (PSi), a remarkable field of innovation has been opened through its biological applications. These often require the engineering of an interface between the inorganic material and the biomolecules. This interface is expected to passivate the PSi surface and facilitate the progress of biomolecular immobilization cascades. This process is carried out...

    A new and rapidly developing area related to surface antimicrobial performance is emerging to address the increasing resistance to antibiotics. The aim is to reduce infection risks within the medical environment by creating surfaces that can rapidly kill microbes before coming into contact with patients. Such surface coatings have been created which combine chemical and nanostructured microbe...

  5. 374. Surface microstructure of retrieved hip and knee endoprostheses
    Prof. Monika Jenko (Institue of Metals and Technology)
    Biointerfaces
    Contributed

    Microstructure is a neglected factor in implant design, and a detailed characterization is required to determine the role of prematurely failed implants that determine the biological responses, such as the composition and structure of the surface oxide film, the surface contamination and the surface topography. The release of metal ions and the lack of the wear resistance of biomaterials...
