Abstract: Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is an analytical technique based on the piezoelectric effect of quartz crystal, which can provide the information on the mass, thickness and viscoelasticity of the adsorbed layer on the surface of quartz crystal in real time, and thus obtain the surface molecular interaction relationship. Because of the unique viscoelastic analysis, QCM with dissipation (QCM-D) has been rapidly applied in the field of polymer material, especially for biomedical polymer materials. It has been used to evaluate the surface and interface interaction, mechanical property, and biocompatibility of biomedical biomaterials. In this review, the basic principle and theoretical model of QCM-D are briefly introduced. The application of QCM-D in the conformation of polymer chain, protein adsorption, biomolecular interactions, drug release and hydrogels in recent years are emphatically reviewed, and finally the future development trends of QCM-D is forecasted.

Key words: quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation, biomedical polymer materials, viscoelasticity
