چکیده
Anti-Biofouling Coatings In article number 2201152, Robert Texidó, Pol Cabanach, Abdon Pena-Francesch, and colleagues use a coating strategy combining dopamine zwitterionic polymers to prevent bacteria from adhering soft flexible materials commonly used in medical devices. The coatings exhibit superhydrophilic anti-biofouling properties, leading >99% reduction bacterial adhesion. This bacteriophobic is implemented commercial urinary catheter, reducing adhesion by 2 orders of magnitude, avoiding colonization catheter-associated tract infections.

Metamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).
By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.
متن کاملBiomaterials. Electronic dura mater for long-term multimodal neural interfaces.
The mechanical mismatch between soft neural tissues and stiff neural implants hinders the long-term performance of implantable neuroprostheses. Here, we designed and fabricated soft neural implants with the shape and elasticity of dura mater, the protective membrane of the brain and spinal cord. The electronic dura mater, which we call e-dura, embeds interconnects, electrodes, and chemotrodes t...
متن کاملColorless polydopamine coatings for creating functional interfaces
Since the emergence of surface modification techniques, including polydopamine (PDA) layers using a single deposition process that is based on the oxidative self-polymerization of dopamine (DA), the number of studies concerning the functionalization of material surfaces via PDA coating has increased. While PDA is simple to apply to cover onto various kinds of substrates, most of conventional PD...
متن کاملOrganic electrode coatings for next-generation neural interfaces
Traditional neuronal interfaces utilize metallic electrodes which in recent years have reached a plateau in terms of the ability to provide safe stimulation at high resolution or rather with high densities of microelectrodes with improved spatial selectivity. To achieve higher resolution it has become clear that reducing the size of electrodes is required to enable higher electrode counts from ...
