Recently, it has been determined that engineering the physical properties of biomaterials enables direct or indirect regulation of innate immunogenicity in an unprecedented manner for several disease treatments [[24], [25], [26], [27]]. Particularly in cancer immunotherapy, modulation of physical att...
This chapter describes general protocols/techniques used for the characterization of the physical properties of biomaterials. It discusses how to obtain and interpret results from bulk properties. In general, the bulk properties of biomaterials have an effect on their structural behavior and dimensional ...
Due to their special modifications of biomaterials, the physical properties of biomaterials have been greatly enhanced and the application strategies of bone tissue engineering have been expanded when compared with traditional materials. Not to mention, by adjusting the composition and structure of the ...

The kinetics of this ...
The physical properties of nanomaterials — such as size, structure, shape, charge, mechanical strength and hydrophobicity — can directly or indirectly influence immune cell functions and modulate immune responses in healthy and disease states. Therefor
In this chapter, we aim at introducing the fundamental concepts regarding chemical and physical properties of polymers to provide the basic knowledge and better predict the structure occurring in manufacturing processes involving biomaterials. For this reason, we discuss the main correlations occurring ...
The development of biomaterials for drug delivery, tissue engineering and medical diagnostics has traditionally been based on new chemistries. However, there is growing recognition that the physical as well as the chemical properties of materials can regulate biological responses. Here, we review this ...
The physical properties of collagen-based biomaterials are profoundly influenced by the method and extent of crosslinking. In this study, the influence of various crosslinking treatments on the physical properties of reconstituted collagen membranes was assessed. Five crosslinking agents viz., GTA, DMS...
