Biofilms are structured microbial communities attached to surfaces, which play a significant
role in the persistence of biofoulings in both medical and industrial settings. Bacteria in …

Bacterial attachment to material surfaces can lead to the development of biofilms that cause
severe economic and health problems. The outcome of bacterial attachment is determined …

Some insects, such as dragonflies, have evolved nanoprotrusions on their wings that rupture
bacteria on contact. This has inspired the design of antibacterial implant surfaces with insect …

Background All soft and solid surface structures in the oral cavity are covered by the
acquired pellicle followed by bacterial colonization. This applies for natural structures as …

Titanium (Ti) is broadly used for clinical purposes in various medical fields related to bone
repair because of its favorable mechanical properties and its ability to osseointegrate in host …

Nanotechnology represents a major frontier with potential to significantly advance the field of
bone tissue engineering. Current limitations in regenerative strategies include impaired …

Model surfaces with switchable functionality based on nanopatterned, thermoresponsive
poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm) brushes were fabricated using interferometric …

Nanostructured surfaces are called “promising” to control bacterial adhesion and biofilm
formation. Initial adhesion is followed by emergence of surface-programmed bacterial …

The understanding of the interactions between biological systems and nanoengineered
devices is crucial in several research fields, including tissue engineering, biomechanics …

Bacterial adhesion to stainless steel 316L (SS316L), which is an alloy typically used in many
