Polymeric surface

<p><a href="/facts/Polymer/eF32E50K">Polymeric</a> materials have widespread application due to their versatile characteristics, cost-effectiveness, and highly tailored production. The science of <a href="/facts/Polymerization/1hmBz7Ur">polymer synthesis</a> allows for excellent control over the properties of a bulk polymer sample. However, surface interactions of polymer substrates are an essential area of study in <a href="/facts/Biotechnology/8eFnI6FB">biotechnology</a>, <a href="/facts/Nanotechnology/Co4FFNfY">nanotechnology</a>, and in all forms of <a href="/facts/Coating/fGt3R3VC">coating</a> applications. In these cases, the surface characteristics of the polymer and material, and the resulting forces between them largely determine its utility and reliability. In <a href="/facts/Biomedicine/DWFT3MFG">biomedical</a> applications for example, the bodily response to foreign material, and thus <a href="/facts/Biocompatibility/UbGXs4XW">biocompatibility</a>, is governed by surface interactions. In addition, <a href="/facts/Surface_science/WTENdutJ">surface science</a> is integral part of the formulation, manufacturing, and application of coatings.
