Editorial introduction to the special issue on bio(nano)materials with structure–property relationship

摘要

Biomaterials, with their underlying physicochemical characteristics, have become a topic of very intense research activity for many years. These activities include research on Langmuir–Blodgett films, and then bioorganic thin films (since the 1940s), studies on amphiphilic micellar and multilayered systems (since the 1950s), and finally, modern technological, basic and applied research on soft-material crystals (protein or other bioorganic) and amorphous-polycrystalline aggregates, such as modern biomembranes and adhesive layers (since the 1960s and 1970s).
