The Smart Multifunctional Materials for Nanomedicine Focus Topic (SM) is aimed to collect contributions from the broader research areas of colloidal and (bio)interface science, materials science, biomaterials, biosensing, and surface science with a specific focus on theranostics and nanomedicine applications. In complementarity with the AVS Symposium areas of Biomaterial Interfaces and Applied Surface Science, this FT wants to provide a forum for both fundamental and applicative research focused on the surface tailoring of materials for tuning their interaction at the hybrid interface with systems of biological interest (including cells, membranes, proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, small organic molecules). Specifically, in alignment the AVS Symposium areas of Plasma Science & Technology and of Nanometer-Scale Science and Technology, cutting edge research topics in innovative methodologies on the surface chemistry preparation and characterisation for multifaceted (nano)materials and relevant biological applications are included.
