Snigdha, Sabu Thomas, E. K. Radhakrishnan, Nandakumar Kalarikkal1st ed. 2020.Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2020.1 online resource (XI, 163 p. 32 illus., 21 illus. in color.) Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials,2524-5384981-15-4629-0 Includes bibliographical references.Chapter 1: The Need for Engineering Antimicrobial Surfaces -- Chapter 2: A Thirst For Polymeric Antimicrobial Surfaces/Coatings For Diverse Applications -- Chapter 3: Potential Target Sites That Are Affected By Antimicrobial Surfaces -- Chapter 4: Carbon Nanotube-based Antimicrobial and Antifouling Surfaces -- Chapter 5: Engineered Phyllosilicate Clay Based Antimicrobial Surfaces.-Chapter 6: Modulating Surface Energy And Surface Roughness For Inhibiting Microbial Growth -- Chapter 7: Antimicrobial metal-based nanomaterials and their industrial and biomedical applications.This volume looks at the different aspects involved in controlling microbial growth and the techniques employed in obtaining sterile surfaces. It covers research on coatings, nano-materials, herbal materials, naturally occurring antimicrobials in designing antimicrobial surfaces. It discusses issues of antibiotic resistance, synthesis techniques, toxicity, and current and potential applications of antimicrobial surfaces, and this book will serve as a useful reference to a broad range of scientists, industrial practitioners, graduate and undergraduate students, and other professionals in the fields of polymer science and engineering, materials science, surface science, bioengineering and chemical engineering.Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials,2524-5384Materials—SurfacesThin filmsMedical microbiologyBiomedical engineeringSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Filmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000Medical Microbiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16003Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700XMaterials—Surfaces.Thin films.Medical microbiology.Biomedical engineering.Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films.Medical Microbiology.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.620.44Snigdha Sedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtThomas Sabuedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtRadhakrishnan E.
