医療業界における表面科学の役割

抄録

This report describes universities-industries collaborations on biomedical applications of self-organized honeycomb-patterned polymer films, which are prepared by using physical surface phenomena based on water droplet condensation during evaporation processes of polymer film casting. The film company has established engineering processes of regularly porous polymer film fabrication. The textile company has developed high-performance adhesion preventing polymer films having asymmetric nano-honeycomb structure under collaboration with the film company. Covered biliary stents are newly developed and released by the medical device company. Honeycomb-patterned polymer films are supplied to the medical device company from the film company.
