Biomaterial comprising derivatized porous silicon is described. Derivatizati on of the porous silicon has been found to increase its stability. The porous silicon is preferably derivatized by a technique that does not involve oxidation of the silicon, e.g. by hydrosilylation. The derivatized porous...
