| Functional Microspheres: Nano-Structure & Surface Modification |
Functionalization of microspheres is generally dictated by the end application of the microspheres. For ion
transport, functionalization must start at the nano-structure level. Ion transport generally requires inorganic
matrix. For biological or chemical processing, hierarchies of nano-structures are most effective to establish
reaction sites.

separations and for selective attachment of molecules or biologics. The surfaces of the microspheres can also be
modified with a mono-layer of molecules to offer hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity.
