Lienkamp and coworkers propose polymer surfaces with antimicrobial and antifouling functionalities designed to fight biofilm formation in medical devices.
Results for "bacteria"
Non-invasive sinusitis diagnostics in sight
A non-intrusive optical technique called GASMAS shows potential of being developed into a realtime and cost-effective diagnostic tool for human sinuses.
Patterned polypeptoid brushes: Non-fouling surfaces
Two new methods – microcontact printing and photolithography – to obtain structured polypeptoid brushes with excellent non-fouling properties are presented.
Don't touch: Operating displays with moisture
A new sensor technology could enable touchless displays that respond to moisture emitted by the human body.
Hybrid-structured titanium surfaces: a new class of implant material
The hybrid titanium surface presented here may lead to the development of new classes of implant materials.
Improving the acceptance of implants by multifunctional coatings
Rejection or diminished functionability of implants are frequent problems. A new type of coating could limit associated infections and inflammations.
Conference Report: 35th Australasian Polymer Symposium
The 35th APS took place on the Gold Coast, Queensland, from the 12th – 15th of July: three and a half days of talks from numerous areas of polymer science.
Hybrid Filtration Membranes
Two ionic dyes of similar molecular size but opposite charge have been separated using a hybrid membrane as an example for controlled fine scale filtration.
From forms to functions: Unleash the potential of silk printing
A new silk ink formulation provides a “bottom-up” approach to customized multifunction biomaterials.
Eureka moments in Nanochemistry – 2015 Centenary Award
