ESCA for the Study of Biomaterial Surfaces

  • Chapter
Polymers in Medicine II

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 34))

Abstract

Polymer surface analysis is essential for the study of biomaterials because the ultimate biological response to implanted materials depends on what proteins and cells “see” at the interface. Ideally, we would like to routinely correlate the characteristics of the surface structure with the events that comprise the observed biological response. Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) has been found to be useful in enhancing our understanding of biomaterials surfaces and has demonstrated the potential to generate data that might be correlated with complex biological interactions.
