SURFACE ANALYSIS AND TECHNIQUES IN BIOLOGY GEBU...

This book summarizes the main surface analysis techniques that are being used to study
biological specimens systems. The compilation of chapters in this book highlight the benefits
that surface analysis provides. The outer layer of bulk solid or liquid samples is referred to
as the surface of the sample material. At the surface  the composition  microstructure  phase 
chemical bonding  electronic states  and or texture is often different than that of the bulk
material. The outer surface is where many material interactions reactions take place. This is
especially true biomaterials which may be fabricated into bio-devices and in turn implanted
into tissues and organs. Surfaces of biomaterials (synthetic or modified natural materials) are
of critical importance since the surface is typically the only part of the biomaterial
bio-device that comes in contact with the biological system. Analytical techniques are required
to characterize the surface of biomaterials and quantify their impact in real-world biological
systems. Surface analysis of biological materials started in the 1960's and the number of
researchers working in this area have increased very rapidly since then  a number of advances
have been made to standard surface analytical instrumentation  and a number of new instruments
have been introduced.
