Optical Methods for Inspection, Characterization, and Imaging of Biomaterials Conference

Biocompatible materials (or a€œBiomaterialsa€) are substances that are intended to mimic and interact with biological systems. For the safe and reliable function of implants, composition and materials are as important as form. Surfaces may require appropriate coatings or functionalization. Therefore the last two decades have seen strong advancements in biomaterials and related science, with capital investments and research efforts into the development of new products in several fields of applications. Biomaterials science embraces several disciplines such as materials science, tissue engineering, chemistry, biology, and medicine.
