Anti-Microbial Technologies on Critical Care Implants -- Chapter 2 Antimicrobial and Anti-biofilm Medical Devices - Public Health and Regulatory Science Challenges -- Chapter 3 Characterization of bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation -- Chapter 4 Molecular approaches for studying biofilms: techniques, challenges and future prospects -- Chapter 5 Implantable medical devices modified with antimicrobial substances -- Chapter 6 Anti-antimicrobial approaches to device-based infections -- Chapter 7 Releasing antimicrobial agents from porous materials -- Chapter 8 Anti-fouling medical coatings -- Chapter 9 Exploring the potential of light to prevent and treat microbial biofilms in medical and food applications -- Chapter 10 Light-triggered anti-infective surface. 330 $aBased on a fundamental understanding of the interaction between bacteria and materials, this timely volume emphasizes the latest research in the antimicrobial interfacial design and provides an invaluable blueprint for improving antimicrobial performance on devices and products. Antimicrobial Coatings and Modifications targets reduction of microbial accumulation on biomedical and industrial materials through changing interfacial characteristics.  Applying a viable antimicrobial coating or modification to resist alarming threats is a highly demanding requirement for many medical and engineering applications. Many contemporary books in the area of antimicrobial solution focus on applying antimicrobial agents or materials that can kill bacteria. The volume pays more attention to eliminating bacterial contamination and biofilm formation through surface characteristics and novel technologies with minimized bacterial resistance and environmental impact. 606 $aMaterials?Surfaces 606 $aThin films 606 $aPharmaceutical technology 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000 606 $aPharmaceutical Sciences/Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21010 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700X 615 0$aMaterials?Surfaces. 615 0$aThin films. 615 0$aPharmaceutical technology. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 14$aSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films. 615 24$aPharmaceutical Sciences/Technology. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 676 $a620.44 702 $aZhang$b Zheng$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWagner$b Victoria E.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254148103321 996 $aAntimicrobial Coatings and Modifications on Medical Devices$91563145 997 $aUNINA
