The book provides an overview of the highly interdisciplinary field
of surface science in the context of biological and biomedical
applications. The covered topics range from micro- and
nanostructuring for imparting functionality in a top-down manner to
the bottom-up fabrication of gradient surfaces by self-assembly,
from interfaces between biomaterials and living matter to smart,
stimuli-responsive surfaces, and from cell and surface mechanics to
the elucidation of cell-chip interactions in biomedical devices.
