While nature has optimized its antifouling strategies over millions of years, synthetic
antifouling coatings have not yet reached technological maturity. For an antifouling coating …

Antibacterial coatings are rapidly emerging as a primary component of the global mitigation
strategy of bacterial pathogens. Thanks to recent concurrent advances in materials science …

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is one of the most promising approaches to combat multidrug‐
resistant bacteria with less potential to induce resistance and systemic toxicity. However …

The influence of silver nanoparticle morphology on the dissolution kinetics in ultrapure water
as well as the biological effect on eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells was examined. Silver …

With multidrug resistant bacteria on the rise, new antibiotic approaches are required.
Although a number of new small molecule antibiotics are currently in the development …

Abstract Zinc (Zn) and silver (Ag) are co-implanted into titanium by plasma immersion ion
implantation. A Zn containing film with Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) possessing a wide size …

Silver is commonly used both in ionic form and in nanoparticulate form as a bactericidal
agent. This is generally ascribed to a higher toxicity towards prokaryotic cells than towards …

Chitosan (CS) is a linear polysaccharide with good biodegradability, biocompatibility and
antimicrobial activity, which makes it potentially useful for biomedical applications, including …

In this work, zinc was incorporated into TiO2 coatings on titanium by plasma electrolytic
oxidation to obtain the implant with good bacterial inhibition ability and bone-formability. The …

The increasing emergence of antibiotic resistance coupled with the limited effectiveness of
current treatments highlights the need for the development of new treatment modalities …
