Mechanical cleaning remains the standard of care for maintaining oral hygiene. However,
mechanical cleaning is often augmented with active therapeutics that further promote oral …

A marine biofilm flow cell for in situ determination of drag and biofilm structure

S Fabbri, S Dennington, C Price, J Longyear… - Ocean …, 2019 - Elsevier
It is not straightforward to link biofilm parameters to frictional drag, because of the
heterogeneous distribution and viscoelasticity of the produced matrix. Here we present the …

Epoxy-based coatings with additions of titanium (IV) oxide and silver for marine antifouling applications

I Håland - 2024 - ntnuopen.ntnu.no
