ABSTRACT
Polymeric biomaterials have a significant impact on an ageing society. Biocompatible surfaces have emerged during the past decades to promise extraordinary breakthroughs in a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic endeavours. Understanding and controlling the interfacial interactions of polymeric biomaterials with biological entities, such as proteins and biological cells are of paramount importance towards their successful implementation in biomedical applications. Here, we highlight recent developments of flat (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) polymeric biomaterials for medical devices and tissue engineering.
