Gelatin Functionalization of Biomaterial Surfaces: Strategies for Immobilization and Visualization

Gelatin Functionalization of Biomaterial Surfaces: Strategies for Immobilization and Visualization

In the present work, the immobilization of gelatin as biopolymer on two types of implantable biomaterials, polyimide and titanium, was compared. Both materials are known for their biocompatibility while lacking cell-interactive behavior. For both materials, a pre-functionalization step was required...
