Liquid-Infused Silicone As a Biofouling-Free Medical Material
There is a dire need for infection prevention strategies that do not require the use of antibiotics, which exacerbate the rise of multiand pan-drug resistant infectious organisms. An important target in this area is the bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation on medical devices (e.g., catheters). Here we describe nonfouling, lubricant-infused slippery polymers as proof-of-concept ...
متن کاملLiquid-infused structured surfaces with exceptional anti-biofouling performance.
Bacteria primarily exist in robust, surface-associated communities known as biofilms, ubiquitous in both natural and anthropogenic environments. Mature biofilms resist a wide range of antimicrobial treatments and pose persistent pathogenic threats. Treatment of adherent biofilm is difficult, costly, and, in medical systems such as catheters or implants, frequently impossible. At the same time, ...
متن کاملPHYSICAL MATHEMATICS SEMINAR Liquid Infused Surfaces and Phase Separation on Bicontinuous Cubic Membranes
This seminar consists of two parts. First, I will talk about a novel class of functional surfaces, termed liquid infused surfaces, which have been shown to exhibit a wide-range of advantageous surface properties, including self-cleaning, drag reduction, anti-icing and anti-fouling. Unlike standard wetting problems, our theory shows that the contact angle of a droplet on liquid infused surfaces ...
متن کاملRobust liquid-infused surfaces through patterned wettability.
Liquid-infused surfaces display advantageous properties that are normally associated with conventional gas-cushioned superhydrophobic surfaces. However, the surfaces can lose their novel properties if the infused liquid drains from the surface. We explore how drainage due to gravity or due to an external flow can be prevented through the use of chemical patterning. A small area of the overall s...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality
like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
