For organ-on-a-chip (OoC) engineering, the use of biocompatible coatings and materials is not only recommended but essential. Extracellular matrix (ECM) components are commonly used as due to their effects on cell orientation, protein expression, differentiation, adhesion. Among most frequently collagen, fibronectin, Matrigel, according specific type intended OoC application. Additionally, such polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), thermoplastics, chitosan, alginate serve scaffolding biomechanical properties biocompatibility. Here, we discuss some employed coating techniques, including SAMs, dip coating, spin microcontact printing, 3D bioprinting, each offering advantages drawbacks. Current challenges comprise enhancing biocompatibility, exploring novel materials, improving scalability reproducibility.
