1. Bioactive Coatings and Antibacterial Approaches for Titanium Medical Implants
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to characterize and manufacture coatings and surfaces with antibacterial properties and retained or enhanced bioactivity and biocompatibility. The aim was also to study the optimal composition and parameters of mixtures for debridement of bacterial biofilms on titanium surfaces. LÄS MER
2. Antibacterial Strategies for Titanium Biomaterials
Sammanfattning : Titanium and titanium based alloys are widely used in dentistry and orthopedics to replace hard tissue and to mend broken bones. It has become a material of choice due to its low density, high strength, good biocompatibility and its capacity to integrate closely with the bone. LÄS MER
3. New strategies for multifunctional antibacterial materials
Sammanfattning : Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are responsible for significant financial and human costs in healthcare systems. Therefore, a substantial amount of research has been devoted to developing biopolymer-based strategies that prevent bacterial attachment and biofilm formation on surfaces. LÄS MER
4. Bioactive Surgical Implant Coatings with Optional Antibacterial Function
Sammanfattning : Device associated infections are a growing problem in the field of orthopaedics and dentistry. Bacteria adhering to implant surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation are challenging to treat with systemic administered antibiotics. LÄS MER
5. Antibacterial surface coatings for biomedical applications
Sammanfattning : Over the past decades there has been a significant increase in the diversity and function of biomaterials. Today, medical practices utilize a large number of biomaterials in the form of medical devices and implants. However, one major obstacle that limits the efficiency of biomaterials is their susceptibility to develop infection. LÄS MER
