Biofunctionalisation

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article lacks context or sources. Andrew³²⁷ 19:48, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Keep A search for sources under the American English spelling "biofunctionalization" shows that several books have been written on this very topic, such as Biofunctionalization of nanomaterials, Volume 1, Biofunctionalization of Polymers and their Applications and Biofunctionalization of Carbon Nanostructures Through Enzyme Immobilization in Colloidal Silica. The first two of these are by major scientific publishers. This is clearly a notable scientific topic, so the article should be expanded and referenced, rather then being deleted.

Keep I have added three reliable sources (two books, one journal) to the article and there are a lot more where that came from. This is a a highly notable topic, with 3,590 hits on Google Scholar for "Biofunctionalization" and 225 for the less common "Biofunctionalisation". Google books yields more than 3,000 hits. Given the notability, even a minimal stub like this is worth keeping for development. Lack of context is a WP:SURMOUNTABLE problem. --Mark viking (talk) 20:57, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Keep Enough reliable sources seem to exist (see collapsed list below). -- Toshio Yamaguchi 21:02, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Keep – medical implants are examples of biofunctionalized materials. Furthermore there are a number of WP:MEDRS compliant secondary sources that review this applciation and hence this subject is clearly notable. Boghog (talk) 19:25, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
