Properties of the Iron Bacteria Biofouling on Ni–P–rGO Coating

Applied Sciences, 2020
Biofouling on heat exchange devices can decrease heat transfer efficiency, corrode materials, and even lead to safety accidents. Most heat exchange devices are made of carbon steel that efficiently produces biofouling.

Double-edged sword of biofouling potentials associated with haemocompatibility behaviour: titania nanotube arrays for medical implant surface technology

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2023
Background Medical implant failures are frequently associated with limitations of the surface technology that lead to biofouling and haemocompatibility issues. Titania nanotube array technology could provide a solution for this existing limitation.
