BIOFUNCTIONALIZATION ON HYDROGEN-TERMINATED SILICON(111) SURFACES
This thesis describes our attempt to develop a versatile bioelectrical platform based on our understanding of both surface chemical and physical processes. We envisioned the fine tuning of such platform through modification strategies such as “Click” chemistry, which allows us to control its …

Nanoparticle Biofunctionalization for Self-Assembly and Energy Transfer Applications
<p>Metal and semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have unique optical and physical properties that are dependent on size, composition and morphology. When NCs are coupled to biomolecules, their properties are combined to create unique materials with biomimetic capabilities that can function as …

In Vitro and In Silico Study of Deposition on Textured Biomaterials: Towards Biofunctionalization of Ventricular Cannula
Thrombosis on synthetic biomaterial surfaces hinders the development of blood-wetted artificial organs. One neglected source of blood clot in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is the inflow cannula, where emboli are produced. The emboli may be later ingested and ejected from the pump. A widely …

Ortsgerichtete Immobilisierung fluoreszenzmarkierter IL-6-Typ-Zytokine und Analyse ihrer Signaltransduktion
IL-6-type cytokines have a significant function in modulating the inflammatory response and wound healing process. They influence growth, proliferation and differentiation of various cell types. Therefore, the functionalization of biomaterial surfaces with IL-6-type cytokines permits the control of …
