Charged surfaces cell response

The influence of electrical charges on surfaces is very important to their physical chemistry. The Coulombic interaction between charged colloids is responsible for a myriad of behaviors from the formation of opals to the stability of biological cells. Although this is a broad subject involving both practical application and fundamental physics and chemistry, we must limit our discussion to those areas having direct implications for surface science. 

Surface chemistry is very important for the physiological interactions with biomaterials and it is closely related to surface energy (hydrophobicity) the surface free energy of a material originates from its surface functional groups and electrical charges. The material s surface chemistry mediates cell response given that surface...
