Biofunctionality materials are defined as key materials which support medical engineering and biological engineering, covering biospecific materials and biosimulating materials. Typical examples of biospecific materials are the biocompatible materials used for artificial organs. Biofunctionality materials are synthesized from the view point of functionality design. In order to create innovative biofunctionality materials, an interdisciplinary field without boundary lines between inorganic, organic, and polymer materials fields is necessary. A comprehensive selection of 54 articles describing the results of work carried out by the members of a project research program is presented in this volume. The objective of this research program was to promote the creation of novel functional materials at atomic or molecular level, on the nature of functionality materials, i.e. metals, semiconductors, ceramics, organic polymers, and their composites or hybridized materials.
The aim of this book is to provide a global overview on the scientific and technological information which has been produced by this research project on the design, synthesis and function control of biofunctionality materials. Their success in yielding new ideas, new techniques, and new products in the biofunctionality materials field is reflected in these contributions. This volume, together with its companion volumes A and C, which focus on Optical and Quantum Structural Properties of Semiconductors and Synthetic Process and Control of Functionality Materials respectively, will serve as valuable assets to scientists in academic, governmental and industrial institutions, providing insights into newly developing research areas in functionality materials.
