Journal ArticleDOI
Bactericidal activity of black silicon
Elena P. Ivanova,Jafar Hasan,Hayden K. Webb,Gediminas Gervinskas,Gediminas Gervinskas,Saulius Juodkazis,Saulius Juodkazis,Vi Khanh Truong,Alex H. F. Wu,Robert N. Lamb,Vladimir A. Baulin,Gregory S. Watson,Jolanta A. Watson,David E. Mainwaring,Russell J. Crawford +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the nanoprotrusions on the surfaces of both black silicon and D. bipunctata wings form hierarchical structures through the formation of clusters of adjacent nanoproTrusions, which generate a mechanical bactericidal effect, independent of chemical composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Bactericidal Surfaces: Mechanical Rupture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Cells by Cicada Wings
Elena P. Ivanova,Jafar Hasan,Hayden K. Webb,Vi Khanh Truong,Gregory S. Watson,Jolanta A. Watson,Vladimir A. Baulin,Sergey Pogodin,James Wang,Mark J. Tobin,Christian Löbbe,Russell J. Crawford +11 more
TL;DR: Natural superhydrophobic surfaces are often thought to have antibiofouling potential, but when incubated on cicada wings, Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells are not repelled; instead they are penetrated by the nanopillar arrays present on the wing surface, resulting in bacterial cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biophysical Model of Bacterial Cell Interactions with Nanopatterned Cicada Wing Surfaces
Sergey Pogodin,Jafar Hasan,Vladimir A. Baulin,Hayden K. Webb,Vi Khanh Truong,Veselin Boshkovikj,Christopher J. Fluke,Gregory S. Watson,Jolanta A. Watson,Russell J. Crawford,Elena P. Ivanova +10 more
TL;DR: A biophysical model of the interactions between bacterial cells and cicada wing surface structures is proposed, and it is shown that mechanical properties are key factors in determining bacterial resistance/sensitivity to the bactericidal nature of the wing surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of nano-scale surface roughness on bacterial adhesion to ultrafine-grained titanium
Vi Khanh Truong,Rimma Lapovok,Yuri Estrin,Yuri Estrin,Stuart Rundell,James Wang,Christopher J. Fluke,Russell J. Crawford,Elena P. Ivanova +8 more
TL;DR: The effect of extreme grain refinement in the bulk of commercial purity titanium (CP, Grade-2) on bacterial attachment to the mechano-chemically polished surfaces of the material was discussed and it was found that the bacterial strains used in this study as adsorbates showed preference for surfaces of ECAP-processed titanium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Retention on Superhydrophobic Titanium Surfaces Fabricated by Femtosecond Laser Ablation
Elena Fadeeva,Vi Khanh Truong,Meike Stiesch,Boris N. Chichkov,Russell J. Crawford,James Wang,Elena P. Ivanova +6 more
TL;DR: Two-tier micro- and nanoscale quasi-periodic self-organized structures, mimicking the surface of a lotus Nelumbo nucifera leaf, were fabricated on titanium surfaces using femtosecond laser ablation, revealing a highly selective retention pattern for two pathogenic bacteria.
