Abstract
Modified polymer surfaces have experienced rapid growth over the past decade in industries such as biomedical, bioprocessing, food packaging, microelectronics and textiles. Although the final use of the bio-functionalized polymer varies with each application, the general concept is the same. The first step is to design or select a polymer with bulk properties matching the needs of the final applications, such as conductivity, degradability, elasticity, optical clarity, origin (natural vs. synthetic) and strength. The second step is, therefore, to optimize surface functionalization techniques in order to introduce the desired type and amount of reactive functional groups. This chapter aims to introduce the advances in the covalent bonding to functionalized polymer surfaces, including the relevant techniques in the modification of the polymeric surface.
