Informationen zum Autor M. Morra is the author of Water in Biomaterials Surface Science, published by Wiley. Klappentext Theorie, Analytik, Praxis: Dieser Band behandelt alle wesentlichen Aspekte eines relativ jungen Forschungsgebietes, das sich mit Wechselwirkungen an Grenzflächen zwischen biologischen Materialien (u.a. Polysacchariden, Polyethylenoxid, Proteinen, Kohlenhydraten) und Wasser beschäftigt. Diskutiert werden Konsequenzen für Biotechnologie, Medizin und für die Herstellung von Beschichtungen. Zusammenfassung This volume deals with the practical applications of surface-engineering biomaterials dependent on water-related interfacial reactions in the coatings industry, biotechnology and medicine.
