Biomaterials

Liana Azizova received her Master degree at Taurida National V.I. Vernadsky University in 2005. She got PhD in Surface Chemistry in 2013. She has her expertise in the area of surface chemistry, surface characterization, catalytic reactions on the surface of inorganic oxides, their kinetics and mechanisms and synthesis of hybrid organicinorganic nanocomposites. It includes the development of biocompatible coating materials and composites for biomedical application. In particular, modification of polymer and nanosized oxides surfaces by biologically active compounds and biopolymers (polysaccharides, glycopeptides, carboxylic acids), adsorption and determination of a structure of an adsorption layer of biomolecules on a surface of inorganic oxides. Also, she dealt with heterogeneous catalytic reactions on the surface of inorganic oxides, their kinetics and mechanisms. Another area of her activity is mass spectrometric investigation of biomolecules interaction with inorganic oxide surfaces and thermal transformations of biomolecules on inorganic oxide surfaces using thermal analysis.
