The properties of a piece of plastic may generally be highly appropriate for a medical application except that its surface may not be optimal. Some of the many ways in which the surfaces of biomaterials can be modified so that the main bulk properties are undisturbed and specialist surface properties exist in a thin, often invisible, layer are described in this article.
