Polymeric Materials: Surfaces, Interfaces and Bioapplications
Arrieta, Marina P.
Polymeric Materials: Surfaces, Interfaces and Bioapplications - MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute 2019 - 1 electronic resource (342 p.)
Open Access
This book collects the articles published in the Special Issue "Polymeric Materials: Surfaces, Interfaces and Bioapplications". It shows the advances in polymeric materials, which have tremendous applications in agricultural films, food packaging, dental restoration, antimicrobial systems, and tissue engineering. These polymeric materials are presented as films, coatings, particles, fibers, hydrogels, or networks. The potential to modify and modulate their surfaces or their content by different techniques, such as click chemistry, ozonation, breath figures, wrinkle formation, or electrospray, are also explained, taking into account the relationship between the structure and properties in the final application. Moreover, new trends in the development of such materials are presented, using more environmental friendly and safe methods, which, at the same time, have a high impact on our society.
