Descrizione
Riassunto:In this thesis, new coatings against bacterial adhesion and protein adsorptionwere developed, characterized and their effectiveness against bacterial adhesion and protein adsorption was investigated. Two strategies were followed to resist the bacterial adhesion. The first one is based on designing of high-ordered nanostructured polymer features while the second one concern with construction of polymer loaded with anti-bacterial agents. Reduction of protein adsorption is the second aim of this thesis. To achieve this goal, ultra-thin films with nano-scaled topography were manufactured.
