Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation impose a heavy burden on the medical system.
Bacterial adhesion on implant materials would induce inflammation and result in implant …

Adhesion of microbes, such as bacteria and fungi, to surfaces and the subsequent formation
of biofilms cause multidrug-tolerant infections in humans and fouling of medical devices. To …

Synthetic polymers (SyPs) have found many relevant applications niches in biomedical
engineering. Their mechanical properties, defined chemical structure, batch to batch …

Hospital-acquired infections can cause serious complications and are a severe problem
because of the increased emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Biophysical …

While governing adhesion/deposition of various foulants on membrane surface and
membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs), interfacial interactions with real …

Abstract Knowledge of particle deposition and transport in saturated porous media is of
significant importance for various engineered applications and environmental concerns …

The diploid, polymorphic yeast Candida albicans is one of the most important human
pathogenic fungi. C. albicans can grow, proliferate and coexist as a commensal on or within …

Quantification of interfacial interaction with randomly rough surface is the prerequisite to
quantitatively understand and control the interface behaviors such as adhesion, flocculation …

Interfacial interactions between foulants and membrane directly determine foulant adhesion
and membrane fouling. In this study, surface of sludge foulant particles (flocs) was found to …

Microbial adhesion to natural and synthetic materials surfaces is a key issue eg in food
industry, sewage treatment and most importantly in the biomedical field. The current …
