Polymer Materials used in Nanomedicine Applications

Recently, a new approach using enzymes to modify material (or nanomaterial) surfaces has been developed. This approach utilizes enzymatic hydrolysis or degradation to mildly etch the material surfaces and thus CTeate desirable surface structures or properties [45]. Many polymers, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyaayloni-trile, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyamides, have been modified by this method. In a recent study, PVC tubes were soaked in Rhizopus arrhizus lipase to create nanometer surface features that exhibited antibacterial properties [60]. Enzymatic modification demonstrates great potential and promise for biomedical and nanomedicine applications due to its biocompatible, environmentally friendly, and simple process. [Pg.15]
