This review discusses topics relevant to the development of antimicrobial nanocoatings and
nanoscale surface modifications for medical and dental applications. Nanomaterials have …

Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation impose a heavy burden on the medical system.
Bacterial adhesion on implant materials would induce inflammation and result in implant …

Antibiotic resistance is a global human health threat, causing routine treatments of bacterial
infections to become increasingly difficult. The problem is exacerbated by biofilm formation …

The discovery of antibiotics has saved millions of lives, but the emergence of antibiotic‐
resistant bacteria has become another problem in modern medicine. To avoid or reduce the …

Metallic biomaterials are engineered systems designed to provide internal support to
biological tissues and they are being used largely in joint replacements, dental implants …

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is becoming more widespread due to excessive use of
antibiotics in healthcare and agriculture. At the same time the development of new …

Antibiotic resistance has made the treatment of biofilm-related infections challenging. As
such, the quest for next-generation antimicrobial technologies must focus on targeted …

The scientific and industrial interest in antimicrobial surfaces has significantly increased in
recent times. This interest is largely in response to the persistent microbial contamination of …

Materials patterned with high‐aspect‐ratio nanostructures have features on similar length
scales to cellular components. These surfaces are an extreme topography on the cellular …

In biomaterials science, it is nowadays well accepted that improving the biointegration of
dental and orthopedic implants with surrounding tissues is a major goal. However, implant …
