For the targeted modification of existing materials and for the biofunctionalization of medical devices, the NMI develops, manufactures and tests novel biomaterials and customized coatings.
Development of coating processes:
- Regulation of the degradation behavior of material and/or coating
- Development of collagen-based biomaterials for tissue engineering
- Development of analytical strategies for characterization of bio- and nanomaterials
- Chemical syntheses/modification of (bio)polymers
- Qualitative and quantitative methods for characterization of surfaces and polymers of medical devices
Projects:
- LAA-Okkluder- Development of a novel atrial appendage closure system for stroke prophylaxis
- ASD-Okkluder- Development of a bioresorbable occluder for the treatment of atrial septal defects
- RNA-Stent- RNA stent coated coronary stents to prevent restenosis
- SuPerB- Stable, environmentally friendly perovskite solar cells thanks to barrier and bonding layers
- Pyrobeads
Control of cell biological reactions (e.g. cell adhesion, immune response)
- Development of biocompatible coatings
- Functional (nano-)coatings: anti-adhesive and/or antibacterial surfaces, improvement of biocompatibility
- Immobilization and controlled release of active ingredients from coatings or implants
