Special Session 3: Bioactive Materials and Surface Modification

Bioactive materials and surface modification are critical for enhancing the interaction between biomaterials and biological tissues. Bioactive materials are designed to actively engage with biological systems, promoting specific cellular responses and improving integration with surrounding tissues. These materials, such as bioactive glasses and ceramics, can stimulate cell growth, tissue regeneration, and bone formation through their chemical and physical properties. Surface modification techniques further refine these interactions by altering the surface characteristics of biomaterials to enhance their performance. Methods such as coating with bioactive molecules, nanoparticle incorporation, and plasma treatment can improve cell adhesion, reduce inflammation, and increase resistance to bacterial colonization.
