Thin films, biomedical applications adhesion

For the electronics and biomedical applications, the galvanic displacement deposition can be successful when very thin films are required and when an appropriate surface pretreatment is carried out to achieve a good adhesion of the deposited metallic film. 

Needed Test Methods. It is impossible to list, never mind discuss, all of the other methods that have been proposed for measuring adhesion. However, there remain serious needs, still unmet. One is for the accurate measurement of thin-film adhesion for example, in microelectronics and biomedical applications. A detailed review of this subject has been given by Mittal, but it appears that a generally sat-... 

Thin block copolymer films on surfaces are interesting materials for biomedical and/or biotechnological applications, e.g. tissue engineering. Their chemical versatility allows for the adjustment of desired properties, such as protein repellence or adhesion, and biocompatibility. Mostly, biodegradable PLA- or PCL-based block...
