Biointerphases Open Access Journal

The Biointerphases journal provides an interdisciplinary platform for scientific exchange among the biology, chemistry, physics, and materials sciences communities. 

It offers a discussion forum for rapid dissemination of scientific theories, results, and interpretations.  Biointerphases serves as a global vehicle for the biomaterials interface community as well as a platform that encourages dialog between scientists and the public with respect to cogent policy issues.

Biointerphases is indexed and abstracted  by Thomson Reuters, including the journal in Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch®), Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index®, Materials Science Citation Index®, Journal Scitation Reports/Science Edition, Biological Abstracts and BIOSIS Previews.

Biointerphases continues its popular In Focus sections in Volume 4, beginning in Issue 2: In Focus:  Biological Applications of Polymer Brushes In Focus Editors: Ashutosh Chilkoti and Stefan Zauscher  Previous In Focus sections include:  In Focus:  Solid Supported Membranes In Focus Editor: Wolfgang Knoll In Focus:  Synchrotron Radiation and Neutrons in Biointerface Science In Focus Editors: Michael Grunze and Peter Fratzl  In Focus:  Structure and Properties of Soft Organic-Aqueous Interfaces In Focus Editors: Michael Grunze and Alexander Pertsin In Focus: Surface Plasmon Resonance – Plasmonics In Focus Editor: Bo Liedberg
