Latest research into materials to stop bacterial biofilm formation published
Dr Adam Dundas, Valentina Cuzzucoli Crucitti, Professor Derek Irvine and other members of the Biomaterials Discovery team have published their latest research describing new polymer surfactants that will prevent bacterial biofilm formation on 3D polymer microparticles. These particles could be used in a variety of applications from coatings on the surfaces of medical devices or as part of a wound healing dressing to prevent infections. Non-healthcare related applications such as antifouling surfaces on the hulls of yachts could also be targeted.
