Symposium SM5-Surfaces and Interfaces for Biomaterials

Surfaces and interfaces are widely recognized as key elements in biomaterials processes of primary importance toward the biological performances and clinical success of implants used for the replacement and the regeneration of diseased tissue and organs. This symposium wishes to address the role of surfaces and interfaces in several of these applications, bringing together scientists from different backgrounds so as to foster a multidisciplinary picture.

• This symposium will cover the pivotal scientific and technical platform of surfaces and interfaces in biomaterials by addressing the most advanced science and engineering challenges in the following fields:
