The Properties of Nonbiological Surfaces and Their Characterization

摘要: The forces involved in adhesion of cells to other surfaces may include any the interactions possible aqueous physical systems (see Chapter 6). Thus, a wide variety surface properties and measurements have some relevance problems. classical work on colloid stability, known as DLVO theory, considered balance between London-van der Waals attractive electrostatic repulsive interaction two interacting [see Section 3.1, Rutter Vincent (1980) for short introduction references]. appreciation charge London-type, or dispersion, characteristic are required. In addition, polarity biological material means that polar must also be taken into account. measurement systems, estimation London components energies solid surfaces, consequently been closely associated with research bioadhesion. By measuring assigning experimental values these various parameters, it becomes examine experimentally theoretical basis processes test validity such theories.
