The physical properties of a material, such as strength, elastic modulus, electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, thermal conductivity, and refractive index are controlled by its atomic structure and they can be modified by the microstructure of the material
An understanding of the mechanisms by which materials respond to an applied physical stimulus and how the properties of materials depend on their atomic bonding and microstructure is critical in designing and creating biomaterials with a desirable combination of properties for the intended application
Mechanical properties are among the most important physical properties for biomaterials that are subjected to mechanical stresses at some point or during their entire application. Consequently, designing biomaterials for mechanical reliability must take into account the inherent response of different types of materials to stresses.
As the applications of biomaterials normally involve a combination of physical properties, an understanding of other physical properties in addition to, or instead of mechanical properties, is desirable.

5 Surface Properties of Materials
5.1 Introduction
Surface properties are important because, together with bulk properties (Chapter 4), they determine the performance of biomaterials in vivo. Upon implantation, it is the surface of the biomaterial that is first encountered by the physiological environment. The interaction between the surface and components of the physiological fluid, such as water molecules, inorganic ions, amino acids and proteins, strongly influences the response of cells and, thus, the biocompatibility of the implant. In the healing of bone defects using nondegradable implants, for example, if the surface properties and characteristics of the implant are not selected properly, cells can form fibrous tissue around the implant instead of new bone. Consequently, the ability of the implant to integrate with host bone is limited, jeopardizing a successful outcome of the procedure (Chapter 23).
The surface of a material consists of a thin layer with properties and characteristics that are different from those of its interior due to a variety of physical and chemical factors (Figure
