Overview
Papers from an April 2002 symposium report on the latest work in natural biological tissues, imaging and characterization techniques, inorganic and organic biomaterials, biocompatibility, interface issues, tissue engineering, sensors, nanotechnology, and materials for drug and gene delivery. Some specific topics are selectivity of polypeptide binding to nanoscale substrates, microstructure and thermal expansion properties of ostrich eggshell, and self-assembly of hydrogels from elastin-mimetic block copolymers. Synthesis of biocompatible surfaces, oral administration of chemotherapy agents using complexation hydrogels, and honeycomb films of biodegradable polymers for tissue engineering are some of the other areas explored.
