Characterization of biomaterial surfaces: ATR-FTIR, potentiometric and calorimetric analysis.
The usefulness of attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, potentiometry and calorimetry in surface characterization of biomaterials is discussed in this paper.  Some examples of biomedical materials characterized by using these different techniques are also reported.
