It is still the very beginning of generating a better understanding of what is needed to make an organism tolerate implants, to guarantee the bidirectional communication between microelectronic devices and living tissue or to simply construct an interactive biocompatibility of surfaces in general. This book describes the design, synthesis, assembly and characterization, and the bio-(medical) application of interfacial layers on solid substrates with molecularly or supra-molecularly controlled architectures. Experts in the field describe their contributions that have been developed in recent years.

Wolfgang Knoll received a Ph.D. degree in biophysics at the University of Konstanz in 1976. In 1977, he joined the group of Prof. E. Sackmann at the University of Ulm, Germany, working on model membrane systems and their phase behavior by neutron scattering, spectroscopic and thermodynamic measurements. After a postdoctoral stay at the IBM Research Laboratory in San Jose, California (1980--1981) and a stay as a visiting scientist at the Institute Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, he joined the Physics Department of the Technical University of Munich. From 1991 to 1999, he was Head of Laboratory for Exotic Nanomaterials hosted by the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Wako, Japan. In 1992, he was appointed consulting professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University, California. In 1998, he was appointed professor of chemistry (by courtesy) at the University of Florida in Gainesville and in 1999 adjunct professor at Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea. His current research interests include aspects of the structure/order--property/function relationships of polymeric/organic systems, in particular, in thin films and at functionalized surfaces.
