About this material
Biocoating is the deposition of a thin layer of biocompatible material (e.g. hydrogel) over a non-biological surface. It can be implanted in the body or intended to be in contact with biological materials. Mechanical assessment of biocoating is critical as it must attempt to mimic the natural environment. It is also used to assess the adherence of the film and other mechanical properties.
