Nanotopography is an important factor in the adhesion, differentiation, and proliferation of cells in tissue engineering. Directed irradiation synthesis (DIS) has been used to create nanostructures on the surfaces including: metals, semiconductors, and polymers. DIS is a novel method that allows for the tuning of surface nanoscale topography and surface chemistry.  Nanopatterning on biointerfaces is considered in this talk in the context of irradiation-driven strategies that enhance the functionality and biocompatibility of a variety of nanocomposites that include: nanocellulose composite (CNC), nano-fibrillated cellulose (NFC), graphene oxide; combined with inorganic metals such as Au and Pd nanoparticles and magnetic nanoparticles.
