Scope: Biomaterials must have adapted, ideal properties to facilitate biointegration while minimizing negative effects such inflammation, short- and long-term infections, and severe foreign body responses. Surface elaboration and modifications, including physical, chemical, and biological approaches for changing surface attributes for particular purposes, are effective. Biological reactions are directly affected by surface charges, wettability, composition, and roughness. In this special topic, the most recent surface modification advances in biomaterials to improve biological compatibility are introduced. This will focus on modifying physical surfaces including metals, ceramics, polymers, textiles, hydrogels, 3D-printed materials, and scaffolds.
