The parameters that affect and optimize the interactions at bio/non-biointerfaces are revised and analyzed in this chapter. We focus on soft polymeric materials starting with their critical properties that determine the viability of biological systems in contact with them. In particular, the right combination of surface chemistry, topography, and mechanical properties of the employed materials can generate the ideal interface for the target biological organism. We present the state of the art of the applications of such bio/soft matter composites interactions in tissue engineering for scaffolds and skin wound dressings.

Abstract
The parameters that affect and optimize the interactions at bio/non-biointerfaces are revised and analyzed in this chapter. We focus on soft polymeric materials starting with their critical properties that determine the viability of biological systems in contact with them. In particular, the right combination of surface chemistry, topography, and mechanical properties of the employed materials can generate the ideal interface for the target biological organism. We present the state of the art of the applications of such bio/soft matter composites interactions in tissue engineering for scaffolds and skin wound dressings.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
