Abstrakt: Recently study of the “silicon wire - nerve tissue’ interface has been in the focus of attention due to its potential use in recovering nervous system damage caused by injuries or diseases. The key objective of this research was to test the physicochemical state of the interface and to study its properties. Although much research has been done in this field, the process of interface formation was not thoroughly described from the surface physics point of view. In the current research specimens of the “silicon wire - nerve fiber" interface were made. Experiments were carried out in vivo. The interface morphology and mechanisms of adhesion were examined in more detail and a physical model of intermolecular interaction of silicon surface and nerve fiber was proposed.
