Proteins at Titanium Interfaces

  • Chapter
Titanium in Medicine

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

Proteins in solutions accumulate spontaneously at interfaces. Exceptions to this rule may be charge neutral surfaces with high water retention and/or high mobility. In the human body, cell membranes in general, albumin associating cell surfaces, and mucosas with high oligosaccharide content behave in this manner. In vitro, artificial surfaces, such as the charge-neutral poly(ethyleneoxide/-glycols) type of surfaces are protein repellent in one or a few protein systems. However, rigid surfaces like oxide-covered titanium adsorb proteins within seconds of exposure to e.g. blood plasma.
