Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are widely used in the field of bone regeneration,
both in orthopedics and in dentistry, due to their good biocompatibility, osseointegration and …

This article reviews the physical and chemical constraints of environments on biofilm
formation. We provide a perspective on how materials science and engineering can address …

Thoroughly revised and reorganized, the second edition of Interfacial Forces in Aqueous
Media examines the role of polar interfacial and noncovalent interactions among biological …

Microplastics (MPs) are now ubiquitous in global ecosystem, therefore all biota is at risk of
exposure and potential toxicity. In this study, we presented an overview of information based …

Bacterial biofilms can cause medical problems and issues in technical systems. While a
large body of knowledge exists on the phenotypes of planktonic and of sessile cells in …

Polyurethanes in Biomedical Applications studies the use of polyurethanes in implanted
medical devices. This analysis describes the concepts of polymer science, the manufacture …

This investigation developed experimental evidence for the influence of different surface
energy states on tissue incorporation of biomedical materials. Implants of two smooth …

Marine biofouling is defined as the accumulation of living organisms on surfaces submerged
in seawater. The growth of aquatic organisms on the man‐made surfaces such as ships …

Biofilm accumulation on a surface is the net result of several physical, chemical, and
biological processes. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of substrate …

The objectives of this study were to investigate the wettability of orthodontic bracket material
surfaces and the composition of salivary films adsorbed onto them after 30 and 60 minutes …
