The nature of a biomaterial surface governs the processes involved in biological response. Surface properties such as surface chemistry, surface energy, and morphology may be measured in order to understand the surface region of a biomaterial. In this article, we describe the surface characteristics of a few common biomaterials, review the techniques used to measure surface properties, and discuss the application of surface information in developing novel and improved biomaterials.
生物材料表面的性质决定了生物反应所涉及的过程。可以测量诸如表面化学、表面能和形态等表面性质，以便了解生物材料的表面区域。在本文中，我们描述了几种常见生物材料的表面特征，回顾了用于测量表面性质的技术，并讨论了表面信息在开发新型和改进生物材料中的应用。
