Antibacterial effects of bio-inspired nanostructured materials

Several properties of bio-inspired surfaces like chemical composition, surface topography, surface hydrophilicity and even surface charge could influence bacterial adhesion to implant materials. Therefore, a nanostructured surface is being investigated to avoid bacterial colonization by their physic...
