Biofunctionalization

Biofunctionalization is the process of attaching specific biological molecules, such as proteins or enzymes, to a surface or material to give it desired biological properties. This technique enhances the material's ability to interact with biological systems—for example, making a medical sensor recognize certain substances or improving how a medical implant integrates with the body. By adding these biological components, the material becomes more compatible and functional in biological environments, enabling medical devices, sensors, or drug delivery systems to perform their tasks more effectively and safely.
