“…Patterning can be realized either by deposition of surface-reactive precursors followed by site-specific polymerization [84] or by direct polymer transfer from the solutions or melts. [85] Electron-beam lithography has been proven successful in the creation of well-defined nanopatterns via local modification of hydrophobicity or functionality of the polymer surfaces. [86,87] Polymer exposure to a focused e-beam enables the creation of protein-and cell-adhesive regions with sub-100 nm resolution.…”

The initial host response to healthcare materials' surfaces after implantation is the adsorption of proteins from blood and interstitial fluids. This adsorbed protein layer modulates the biological/cellular responses to healthcare materials. This stresses the significance of the surface protein assembly for the biocompatibility and functionality of biomaterials and necessitates a profound fundamental understanding of the capability to control protein–surface interactions. This review, therefore, addresses this by systematically analyzing and discussing strategies to control protein adsorption on polymeric healthcare materials through the introduction of specific surface nanostructures. Relevant proteins, healthcare materials' surface properties, clinical applications of polymer healthcare materials, fabrication methods for nanostructured polymer surfaces, amorphous, semicrystalline and block copolymers are considered with a special emphasis on the topographical control of protein adsorption. The review shows that nanostructured polymer surfaces are powerful tools to control the amount, orientation, and order of adsorbed protein layers. It also shows that the understanding of the biological responses to such ordered protein adsorption is still in its infancy, yet it has immense potential for future healthcare materials. The review, which is—as far as it is known—the first one discussing protein adsorption on nanostructured polymer surfaces, concludes with highlighting important current research questions.

“…Various methods such as self-assembly (Merlo & Frisbie, 2003), polymerization in nanoporous templates (Martin, 1999), dip-pen nano-lithography (Noy et al, 2002), and electrospinning (Babel et al, 2005;Wutticharoenmongkol et al, 2005;Madhugiri; techniques are used to produce conductive polymer nanowires and nanofibers. Nanofibers having ultrafine diameters provide some advantages including mechanical performance, very large surface area to volume ration and flexibility to be used in solar cells (Chuangchote et al, 2008a).…”

“…Nanometer sized deposits can be achieved mainly by nanolithographic approaches. Next to surface probe microscopy techniques, for example dip-pen nanolithography (DPN), electrochemical DPN, electrostatic nanolithography, and electron beam lithography [236][237][238][239], nanolithography based on C-AFM has been extensively used for nanopatterning of monomer and precursor polymer films [240][241][242][243][244], in contrast with DPN and electrostatic nanolithography, in which monomer inks or electrolyte-saturated films are used [236,237,241]. C-AFM enables direct preparation of polymer films by electrochemical means on spin-cast monomers under ambient temperature and humidity conditions.…”

In the past 20 years the characterization of electroactive surfaces and electrode reactions by scanning probe techniques has advanced significantly, benefiting from instrumental and methodological developments in the field. Electrochemical and electrical analysis instruments are attractive tools for identifying regions of different electrochemical properties and chemical reactivity and contribute to the advancement of molecular electronics. Besides their function as a surface analytical device, they have proved to be unique tools for local synthesis of polymers, metal depots, clusters, etc. This review will focus primarily on progress made by use of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), conductive AFM (C-AFM), electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM), and surface potential measurements, for example Kelvin probe force microscopy (KFM), for multidimensional imaging of potential-dependent processes on metals and electrified surfaces modified with polymers and self assembled monolayers.
