Explore how antimicrobial nanocoatings are transforming industries like automotive, healthcare and packaging by providing advanced protection against microbes.
This achievement comes at a pivotal moment in the industry, as looming bans on per- and polyfluoroalkyl subtances (PFAS) are driving significant changes in the coatings landscape.
The production of effective, functional, and hygienic medical devices can be aided by the use and advancement of surface coatings that can alter physiochemical properties and functionality, among other features.
Biomedical engineers and surgeons at Duke University and UCLA have demonstrated an antibiotic coating that can be applied to orthopedic implants minutes before surgery that eliminates the chances of an infection around the implant.
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have developed an innovative anti-biofilm coating that has significant anti-adhesive potential for a variety of medical and industrial applications.
