Bioactive Sol‐Gel Coatings |
|
| Authors: | Horst Bttcher |
| Abstract: | Recent sol‐gel techniques enable bioactive composite layers to be prepared by the embedding of bioactive compounds, biomolecules (BMs) and cellular systems within inorganic layers. These novel bioactive layers offer interesting new applications, e.g. biocompatible coatings on implants and medical products, the preparation of biosensors and biocatalysts, and coatings that can release biocides in a controlled manner. |
