Journal ArticleDOI
Antifouling coatings: recent developments in the design of surfaces that prevent fouling by proteins, bacteria, and marine organisms.
TL;DR: The major strategies for designing surfaces that prevent fouling due to proteins, bacteria, and marine organisms are reviewed and ongoing research in this area should result in the development of even better antifouling materials in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the biomaterials technologies for infection-resistant surfaces.
TL;DR: Among the new strategies, the use of phages or of antisense peptide nucleic acids are discussed, as well as the possibility to modulate the local immune response by active cytokines, to contrast the establishment of an implant infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of current and emergent biofilm control strategies
TL;DR: The present review will focus on describing the mechanisms involved in biofilm formation and behavior, deleterious effects associated with their presence, and some of the current and emergent control strategies, providing new insight of concern for food industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and characterization of chitosan-based nanocomposite films with antimicrobial activity.
TL;DR: Mechanical and barrier properties of chitosan films were affected through intercalation of nanoparticles, that is, tensile strength increased by 7-16%, whereas water vapor permeability decreased by 25-30% depending on the nanoparticle material tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface modification using phosphonic acids and esters.
TL;DR: This paper presents a monograph on “Chimie Et Interdisciplinarite: Synthes̀e Analyse Modeĺisation (CEISAM),” written by D.Cleḿence Queffeĺec, Marc Petit, and Bruno Bujoli.

Biomaterial-centered infection: microbial adhesion versus tissue integration.
TL;DR: Modifications to biomaterial surfaces at an atomic level will allow the programming of cell-to-substratum events, thereby diminishing infection by enhancing tissue compatibility or integration, or by directly inhibiting bacterial adhesion.

Antimicrobial effects of positively charged surfaces on adhering Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
TL;DR: It is suggested that positively charged biomaterial surfaces exert an antimicrobial effect on adhering Gram-negative bacteria, but not on Gram-positive ones.
