In living organisms, biofilms are defined as complex communities of bacteria residing within
an exopolysaccharide matrix that adheres to a surface. In the clinic, they are typically the …

Biofilm is complex and consists of bacterial colonies that reside in an exopolysaccharide
matrix that attaches to foreign surfaces in a living organism. Biofilm frequently leads to …

Biofouling is generally undesirable for many applications. An overview of the medical,
marine and industrial fields susceptible to fouling is presented. Two types of fouling include …

Ti-Cu alloys with different Cu contents (3, 5 and 7 wt%) were fabricated and studied as novel
antibacterial biomaterials for dental application. The Ti-Cu alloys were annealing treated at …

An implant is a device for replacing a damaged or deformed joint, bone, or cartilage.
Considering the aging population and develo** culture of active lifestyles, orthopedic and …

The present study examined the corrosion and tribological behavior of novel Ti–5Cu-xNb
alloy synthesized via powder metallurgy as a new biomedical material in a simulated bodily …

Ti–Cu sintered alloys have shown good antibacterial abilities. However, the sintered method
(powder metallurgy) is not convenient to produce devices with a complex structure. In this …

Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common complications after surgeries,
usually leading to increased health care costs. Therefore, we evaluated the efficiency of …

The present work aims to synthesize hydroxyapatite (HAp) via green template addition using
glutinous rice (GR) in combination with sol-gel route under various calcination temperatures …

Hydroxyapatite is an important biomaterial for potential clinical applications. However, the
lack of antibacterial activity restricts its application. To overcome this defect, here we …
