Bacterial colonization and infections associated with biomaterial surfaces pose common threat to patient safety and health care. Antibacterial coating on such surfaces provides significant approach toward addressing this ...

The effect of homogenization on centerline segregation has been studied in twin roll cast aluminum alloy AA 8011. It is observed that second phase particles generally form when the alloy contains high Fe and Si. During ...

This chapter summarizes various strategies of developing antibacterial surfaces based on special composition and topography to obtain efficient and long-term antibacterial and/or antifouling properties. These include both ...

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a major health concern. Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) are efficient in killing most microbes and yet the development of resistance to AMPs is rare. Although AMPs show promising antimicrobial ...
