TL;DR: These coatings present a promising way to incorporate antibacterial agents at surfaces to prevent bacterial colonization of implanted biomedical devices and contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.
Abstract: We report on highly efficient, bioresponsive, controlled-release antibacterial coatings constructed by direct assembly of tannic acid (TA) with one of several cationic antibiotics (tobromycin, gentamicin, and polymyxin B) using the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique. These films exhibit a distinct “self-defense” behavior triggered by acidification of the immediate environment by pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) or Escherichia coli (E. coli). Films assembled using spin-assisted and dip-assisted techniques show drastically different morphology, thickness and pH-/bacteria-triggered antibiotic release characteristics. While dip-deposited films have rough surfaces with island-like, granular structures regardless of the film thickness, spin-assisted LbL assemblies demonstrate a transition from linear deposition of uniform 2D films to a highly developed 3D morphology for films thicker than ∼45 nm. Ellipsometry, UV–vis and mass spectrometry confirm that all coatings do not rele...

TL;DR: In this paper, hydrogen-bonded multilayers of a neutral polymer (poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone), PVPON) with poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) were used as templates to introduce cross-links between PMAA layers using carbodiimide chemistry and ethylenediamine as a cross-linking agent.
Abstract: Hydrogen-bonded multilayers of a neutral polymer (poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone), PVPON) with poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) were used as templates to introduce cross-links between PMAA layers using carbodiimide chemistry and ethylenediamine as a cross-linking agent. Upon exposure to high pH, PVPON is completely released from the hydrogel matrix, producing surface-attached PMAA hydrogels. When such hydrogels are deposited at the surface of silica particles, and the particle core is subsequently dissolved, hollow one-component hydrogel capsules are produced. PMAA hydrogel films and hollow capsules underwent reversible, large (factors of 2 or 3) changes in size in response to changes in solution pH and/or ionic strength. The capsules were used for entrapment and storage of macromolecules such as 500 kDa FITC-dextran by “locking” the capsule wall with an electrostatically associating polycation, poly-N-ethyl-4-vinylpyridinium bromide (QPVP). The release of the encapsulated macromolecules was achieved under high sal...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the learning practices of 95 new product teams and uncover several factors that improve a new product team's ability to learn, innovate faster, and be more successful, including thoroughly reviewing project information, having stable project goals, and following a rigorous new product development process.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of unlubricated sliding wear tests in air with pins of cemented carbide composites sliding against silicon nitride disks was performed, and the wear rate was proportional to the hardness with a wear coefficient k = 6.9 × 10 −6 for all materials.
