Polymeric Antibacterial Surfaces with Nano-pillar Arrays Mimicking Cicada Wings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cicada wings consist of nanopillar arrays with a pitch, diameter, and height few hundred nanometers. These show strong antibacterial performance owing to cell membrane damage caused by the physical interaction nanopillars. Polymer-based nanopillars are essential for various industrial applications. Herein, we present fabrication process polymer-based using facile thermal nanoimprint technique. Moreover, conformational information has been provided.

Antibacterial titanium nano-patterned arrays inspired by dragonfly wings
Titanium and its alloys remain the most popular choice as a medical implant material because of its desirable properties. The successful osseointegration of titanium implants is, however, adversely affected by the presence of bacterial biofilms that can form on the surface, and hence methods for preventing the formation of surface biofilms have been the subject of intensive research over the pa...
متن کاملWetting properties on nanostructured surfaces of cicada wings.
This study has investigated the wettability of forewings of 15 species of cicadas, with distinctly different wetting properties related to their nanostructures. The wing surfaces exhibited hydrophilic or weak to strong hydrophobic properties with contact angles ranging from 76.8 deg. to 146.0 deg. The nanostructures (protrusions), observed using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM)...
متن کاملCicada-inspired cell-instructive nanopatterned arrays
Biocompatible surfaces hold key to a variety of biomedical problems that are directly related to the competition between host-tissue cell integration and bacterial colonisation. A saving solution to this is seen in the ability of cells to uniquely respond to physical cues on such surfaces thus prompting the search for cell-instructive nanoscale patterns. Here we introduce a generic rationale en...
متن کاملNanoscale pillar arrays for separations.
The work presented herein evaluates silicon nano-pillar arrays for use in planar chromatography. Electron beam lithography and metal thermal dewetting protocols were used to create nano-thin layer chromatography platforms. With these fabrication methods we are able to reduce the size of the characteristic features in a separation medium below that used in ultra-thin layer chromatography; i.e. p...
متن کاملMaskless laser tailoring of conical pillar arrays for antireflective biomimetic surfaces.
Herein, we report a facile approach for rapid and maskless production of subwavelength structured antireflective surfaces with high and broadband transmittance-direct laser interference ablation. The interfered laser beams were introduced into the surface of a bare optical substrate, where structured surfaces consisting of a micropillar array were produced by two-step laser irradiation in the t...
