Biological Fluid-Surface Interactions in Detection Devices RSC Detection science Series

With development of implants and in vivo detection devices comes the complication of the interaction between the materials used in the devices and biological fluids. This book examines these interactions causing fouling in biosensors and the serious issue of thrombus formation. The chemistry of surface-protein and surface-cell interactions is of great importance and the expert contributors are providing a comprehensive look at the physical chemistry of the implant surface and the fouling problem. The aim is to provide an important addition to the literature suitable for professional researchers in academia and industry and postgraduate students.
