Functionalization of silicone rubber surfaces towards biomedical applications

The surface of a biomaterial has been found to be of prime importance in determining the in vivo performance and host acceptance of the material. The biocompatibility of implantable devices remains a critical issue in limiting device longevity and functionality. Growing efforts have and are being ma...
