CORROSION RESEARCH CENTER AREAS OF RESEARCH |
Biomedical corrosion is extremely complex because the physico-chemical reactions
between the biomaterials and biological fluids are poorly understood. Useful implant
materials must meet stringent requirements with regard to compatibility with body fluids,
corrosion resistance and mechanical and electrical properties. In cooperation with
industrial scientists we are studying the behavior of metal alloys in physicalogical fluids.
The adsorption of biomolecules, which have a
pronounced influence on electrochemical and corrosion reactions, is being studied with
STM.
