Abstract
Membranes are being used to solve problems related to ecosystems such as medical care and the environment. In this case, not only the mechanical properties and processing properties required for the membrane materials but also the surface properties strongly affect the whole performance of the membrane. In particular, when the biomolecules and cells act on the membrane surface, their characteristics are greatly changed by the surface properties of the membrane materials. To make development a high–performance membrane that takes advantage of biological characteristics, it is important to suppress biological reactions on the surface and prevent nonspecific adsorption of biomolecules. Living cells regulate various biological responses at the cell membrane surface. Here, it is introduced the bioinspired design concept based on the cell membrane surfaces. Also, some membranes installed this surface are summarized.
