Abstract
The formation of patterned surfaces for cell control comprises a series of multidisciplinary tasks of processing and characterization. The goal of this work is to illustrate how ion beam techniques can be used to modify and characterize materials for this application. To illustrate these interesting features examples such as, silicon surfaces with stripe micro-patterns formed by a combination of B implantation and electrochemical etching, as well as, biofunctionalized nanoporous anodic Titania have been selected. In the characterization of the latest ERDA-RBS analysis have been used. In addition, recent results on porous alumina functionalization are also presented. The physic-chemical characterization is complemented with preliminary results of cell adhesion onto these structures.
