Cyt c than in the synthetic polymer. Electrospraying can be successfully applied in the manufacture of
bioactive fi lms or coatings in various fi elds, including molecular memory devices as frequency-domain
optical memory for molecular computing and the electrodes in biodevices.
Research has also demonstrated the signifi cant impact of the topography of 3-D implants, such
as the pore size, porosity, and roughness on the cell interactions, and the biocompatibility with the
tissues. To facilitate the implant integration with the tissue, 3-D porous microstructured biopolymer
