In this book, a few applications of responsive materials and surfaces are explored, which include cell culture and tissue engineering (Chapter 9), drug delivery and diagnostic systems (Chapter 10), implantable medical devices and biosensors (Chapter 11). These areas were chosen not only because they have huge economic value, but also involve challenges during the development toward applications. [Pg.1]
