Although the occurrence of resistance in microbes is a natural process, the overuse of antibiotics is known to increase the rate of resistance evolution. Under antibiotic treatment, susceptible bacteria inevitably die, while resistant microorganisms proliferate under reduced competition. Therefore, the out-of-control use of antibiotics eliminates drug-susceptible species that would naturally limit the expansion of resistant species. In addition, the ability of many microbial species to grow as a biofilm has further complicated the treatment of infections with conventional antibiotics. A number of corrective measures are currently being explored to reverse or slow antibiotic resistance evolution, Among which one of the most promising solutions is the development of polymer-based antimicrobial compounds. In this Special Issue, different polymer systems able to prevent or treat biofilm formation, including cationic polymers, antibacterial peptide-mimetic polymers, polymers or composites able to load and release bioactive molecules, and antifouling polymers able to repel microbes by physical or chemical mechanisms are reported. Their applications in the design and fabrication of medical devices, in food packaging, and as drug carriers is investigated. 610 $a?-chymotrypsin 610 $a2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate 610 $a3D printing 610 $aAcinetobacter baumannii 610 $aacrylates 610 $aactive packaging 610 $aadditive manufacturing 610 $aadditives 610 $aadhesives 610 $aamorphous materials 610 $aanti-biofilm surface 610 $aanti-biofilm surfaces 610 $aantibacterial 610 $aantibacterial activity 610 $aantibacterial peptides 610 $aantibacterial polymers 610 $aantibacterial properties 610 $aantibiofilm activity 610 $aantifouling 610 $aantifouling materials 610 $aantimicrobial peptide 610 $aantimicrobial peptides 610 $aantimicrobial polymer 610 $aantimicrobial polymers 610 $aantimicrobial properties 610 $aantimicrobial resistance 610 $abacteria viability 610 $abactericidal coatings 610 $abiocompatible polymer 610 $abiocompatible systems 610 $abiofilm 610 $abiofilm analysis 610 $abiofilm devices 610 $abiofilm methods 610 $abiofilm on contact lenses 610 $abionanocomposites 610 $acationic polymers 610 $acircular dichroism 610 $acoatings from nanoparticles 610 $acoatings wettability 610 $acomposites 610 $acopolymerization 610 $acopper paint 610 $acuprous oxide nanoparticles 610 $adrug carrier 610 $adrug delivery 610 $adrug delivery systems 610 $adynamic light scattering 610 $aEscherichia coli 610 $aESKAPE pathogens 610 $afluorescence 610 $afood shelf-life 610 $afoodborne pathogens 610 $ahalictine 610 $ahemolytic activity 610 $aimidization 610 $ainfrared spectroscopy 610 $alayered double hydroxides 610 $alinear low-density polyethylene 610 $alipopeptides 610 $amedical device-related infections 610 $amicrobial biofilm 610 $amicrobicidal coatings 610 $amultidrug-resistant 610 $amultifunctional hybrid systems 610 $an/a 610 $aocular infections 610 $aolive mill wastewater 610 $aordered mesoporous silica 610 $aperiodontal biofilms 610 $aperiodontitis 610 $apersister cells 610 $aphysiological salt 610 $aplastic materials 610 $apolyamide 11 610 $apolyethylene glycol 610 $apolymeric biocide 610 $apolymeric films 610 $apolymeric surfaces 610 $apolymerizable quaternary ammonium salts 610 $apolymers 610 $aproteinase 610 $aquaternary ammonium 610 $aquaternary ammonium salts 610 $aquaternization 610 $asegmented polyurethanes 610 $asol-gel preparation 610 $aStaphylococcus aureus 610 $asurface functionalization 610 $athermal stability 610 $aUV-induced polymerization 610 $awater disinfection 610 $awound dressings 700 $aFrancolini$b Iolanda$4auth$01339340 702 $aPiozzi$b Antonella$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910674016403321 996 $aPolymeric Systems as Antimicrobial or Antifouling Agents$93060062 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05437nam 2201261z- 450 001 9910557337503321 005 20220111 035 $a(CKB)5400000000042503 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/76944 035 $a(oapen)doab76944 035 $a(EXLCZ)995400000000042503 100 $a20202201d2021 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aWaves and Ocean Structures 210 $aBasel, Switzerland$cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2021 215 $a1 online resource (290 p.) 311 08$a3-0365-2361-8 311 08$a3-0365-2362-6 330 $aOcean Structures subjected to actions of ocean waves require safety inspection as they protect human environment and everyday lives. Increasing uses of ocean environment have brought active research activities continuously. The newly developed technology of ocean energy even pushed the related needs forward one more step.
