Electrochemical characterization and immune system activation in blood by electrode materials in pacemaker applications

• The use of electrode materials in pacemaker application for electrochemical characterization and immune system activation in blood was discussed. The biocompatibility of the electrode was strongly influenced by the physical, chemical, electrochemical, and biochemical properties of the material surface. The surface properties affect the way the implant interacts with the surrounding tissue, and influence the adsorption of protein and biomolecules. Slow potentiodynamic polarization of a TaN covered electrode show a stable behavior in a wide potential range.
