PROTECTING POLYMER SURFACES AGAINST BACTERIAL ADHESION AND BIOFILM FORMATION

Published: Jan 1, 2011
Abstract
Bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation might be reduced by application of a thin coating that deters bacterial colonisation. 1,2 For biomedical devices a coating should also allow good attachment of human tissue to facilitate wound healing, or for catheters and contact lenses be lubricious and not bio-adhesive. Requirements differ for antibacterial coatings for different implants and devices; accordingly we have used different...
