Electrically polarized biomaterials and their interactions with the surrounding biological
environment is important for understanding the host response, growth and inhibition of …

Despite being one of the mostly studied biomaterials for orthopedic, dental, protein
purification and stem cell applications, electrical properties of hydroxyapatite has received …

Electron beam irradiation which is considered a reliable method for tailoring the surface
charge of hydroxyapatite is hindered by carbon contamination. Separating the effects of the …

Für die Entwicklung neuer hochfester Stähle und ihrer Herstellungsverfahren benötigt man
eine chemische Charakterisierung von Strukturen auf der Submikrometer Skala. Strukturen …

Scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) has been demonstrated as a
valuable tool for mapping the optical and optoelectronic properties of materials with …

The ubiquitous presence of hydrocarbon contamination on solid surfaces alters their
inherent physical properties and complicates the surface analyses. An irradiation of sample …

It is well known that electrical properties such as local electrostatic charge distribution at
biomaterial surface plays a significant role in biological interactions. The methods currently …

In this chapter, we describe a method of modifying surface potential and wettability of
hydroxyapatite (HA) thin films using a focused electron beam typically available in scanning …
