20.8 CONCLUSIONS
Development of thin solid fi lms based on self-assembling of amphiphiles by bio-
mimetic approaches has immense potential in controlling the biological interac-
tions. The composition as well as the processing conditions regulates the physical
properties of the lipid TSF. This further regulates the integrity of the supported
TSF. Calcifi cation, protein adsorption, as well as blood cell adhesion and activa-
tion is minimal on these surfaces. Incorporation and lateral stabilization of the
proteins as well as other macromolecules into the TSF gives immense opportu-
nity for controlled ligand supplementation.

We express our sincere thanks and gratitude for the fi nancial support by the DST
and CSIR as well as Director SCTIMST, and Head BMT Wing for providing the
facilities.
