Implanted layers electrochemical measurements

The corrosion resistance of a two-layer polymer coating on implant stainless steel was investigated by microscopic observations and electrochemical measurements [124]. The two layers were made from silane and parylene, respectively. 

The methods of electrochemisty can be further extended into in vivo modeling domains a natural extension of a classical thin layer electrochemical cell [35] consists in a transparent thin plastic chamber implanted into the dorsal skinfold chamber (DSC) in mice subject to EF. Figure 2 shows an example of a DSC implanted in mice [39]. With this in vivo model that we named a bioelectrochemical cell (BECC), it is possible to measure the effects of EF in mmors and tissue with the help of fluorescent markers and intravital microscopy.
