Abstract
The nature of a biomaterial surface governs the processes involved in biological response. Surface properties such as surface chemistry, surface energy, and morphology may be measured in order to understand the surface region of a biomaterial. In this article, we describe the surface characteristics of a few common biomaterials, review the techniques used to measure surface properties, and discuss the application of surface information in developing novel and improved biomaterials.Mesh：
