Mechanical properties tests indicated the used surface modification method had no effect on the tensile strength of rGOSF.
In this chapter, an extensive overview on the surface modification methods has been discussed to develop antimicrobial polymeric biomaterials.
However, there are numerous studies using various surface modification methods have been published.
Energy modification methods have been attracting a lot of attention as a new controller design methods of mechanical systems.
Newly designed polymers using ion-beam modification methods have been studied to improve blood and tissue compatibility.
Recently, it has shown great potential in issue engineering applications and a variety of modification methods have been employed to modify xanthan gum as polysaccharide for this purpose.
Porous silicon surface modification methods have been employed for detecting different gas molecules; H2O, ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, COx, NOx, NH3, O2, H2, HCl, SO2, H2S and PH3.
Recently, different surface modification methods have been implemented to graft PEG molecules onto silicon and silicon-based substrates.
Hence, different surface modification methods have been applied to classical SPE adsorbents (such as silica (Shin and Choi 2009) and polymer (Qiao et al. 2012)) in order to increase the selectivity.
To extend its photo response to the visible region and to promote the photoelectric conversion efficiency, many modification methods have been applied (e.g., dye sensitization, metal ion/nonmetal atom doping, semiconductor coupling, and noble metal deposition) [19, 66].
