Immobilized silver nanoparticles enhance contact killing and show highest efficacy: elucidation of the mechanism of bactericidal action of silver
TL;DR: In this study, AgNPs were immobilized on an amine-functionalized silica surface and their bactericidal activity was studied concurrently with the silver release profile over time, concluding that contact killing is the predominant bactericidal mechanism and surface immobilized nanoparticles show greater efficacy than colloidal AgNPS, as well as a higher concentration of silver ions in solution.

How to Prepare Reproducible, Homogeneous, and Hydrolytically Stable Aminosilane-derived Layers on Silica
TL;DR: The G2 silanes are the best candidates for preparing stable amine-functionalized surfaces and AEAPTES results in more reproducible silane layers in the vapor phase due to its lower sensitivity to water content in the reaction systems.

Immobilized antibiotics to prevent orthopaedic implant infections.
TL;DR: Developing of an implant in which an antibiotic tethered to the metal surface is used to prevent bacterial colonization and biofilm formation is described, showing a real potential to mitigate or prevent the devastating consequences of orthopaedic infection.

Estimation of the surface free energy of polymers
D. K. Owens,R. C. Wendt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for measuring the surface energy of solids and for resolving surface energy into contributions from dispersion and dipole-hydrogen bonding forces has been developed based on the measurement of contact angles with water and methylene iodide.
