Bacterial Antifouling Characteristics of Helicene—Graphene Films

Nanomaterials, 2021
Herein, we describe interfacially-assembled [7]helicene films that were deposited on graphene monolayer using the Langmuir-Schaefer deposition by utilizing the interactions of nonplanar (helicene) and planar (graphene) π–π interactions as functional ...

Quaternary Ammonium “Tannate” for Antifouling Coatings [PDF]

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2012
L'accumulation indésirable d'une grande variété d'organismes marins (salissures biologiques) sur les coques de navires peut entraîner une augmentation significative des coûts, principalement par une consommation accrue de carburant pour maintenir la vitesse de croisière. Généralement, ces revêtements ont des composés bioactifs, appelés biocides.

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...
