Prof. Boccaccini visits McMaster University
Prof. Boccaccini visited the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada, hosted by Prof. Igor Zhitomirsky (pictured with Prof. Boccaccini), Distinguished Engineering Professor at McMaster. We have collaborated with Prof. Zhitomirsky for more than 10 years, including the writing of two highly cited review articles in the field of Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) [1, 2]. We plan new collaboration with Prof. Zhitomirsky’s group in the field of EPD of biocompatible polymer coatings, which should expand our early joint research on EPD of chitosan composite coatings [3].
