RSC Advances is delighted to present this themed collection titled ‘Nano and microscale modifications of biomaterials’.
Obtaining a new or improved biomaterial, or a novel fabrication method, is a difficult task. As a rule, such materials must be created and possess specific properties. In general, bulk properties determine some mechanical and some physical properties. However, an interface between a biomaterial and a human environment, bones and tissue depends on biocompatibility, adhesion between an implant and a tissue, surface hardness, Young`s modulus, and most importantly, bioactivity and cytotoxicity. This collection aims to promote research in surface treatment at the nano and micro scale and to become familiar with different methods that lead to amelioration of surface properties followed by more long-term, less invasive, and more friendly implants made of metals and their alloys, ceramics, polymers, or composite materials.
This collection was Guest Edited by Professor Andrzej Zeliński and Professor Beata Majkowska-Marzec (Gdańsk University of Technology, Gdańsk, Poland). They provide an overview of the collection in this accompanying Editorial.
