Metal oxide nanomaterials are one of the preferences as antibacterial active materials. Due
to its distinctive electronic configuration and suitable properties, ZnO is one of the novel …

Metallic implants sometimes fail in orthopedic surgeries due to insufficient bio-functionality,
implant-associated infections, poor osteointegration due to high inertness (Ti, Co–Cr …

Microbes can influence the durability of civil engineering structures. Damage caused by
microbes (known as biodeterioration) results in compromised structural integrity causing …

Laser texturing, involving the creation of patterns on material surfaces, is considered an
efficient and facile approach to fabricate hierarchical surface structures on various material …

Texturing of the surface is a technique to form the surfaces of the desired pattern. It is
extensively used to alter the mechanical and tribological properties, such as increased …

The spread of bacteria through contaminated surfaces is a major issue in healthcare, food
industry, and other economic sectors. The widespread use of antibiotics is not a sustainable …

Surface texture is one of the hot spots in the field of surface tribology. It promotes friction by
storing lubricating oil and abrasive particles, and in some cases it can also improve …

The rise of antibiotic resistance has become a major threat to human health and it is
spreading globally. It can cause common infectious diseases to be difficult to treat and leads …

The surface texturing of ceramics is generally performed through acid-based etching and
machining; however, laser texturing may be considered as a more precise, reproducible and …

Nano-modified composite coatings have illustrated a promising prospect for protecting
cement-based material due to their excellent functional properties. This paper reviews the …
