Based on a fundamental understanding of the interaction between bacteria and materials this
timely volume emphasizes the latest research in the antimicrobial interfacial design and
provides an invaluable blueprint for improving antimicrobial performance on devices and
products. Antimicrobial Coatings and Modifications targets reduction of microbial accumulation
on biomedical and industrial materials through changing interfacial characteristics. Applying a
viable antimicrobial coating or modification to resist alarming threats is a highly demanding
requirement for many medical and engineering applications. Many contemporary books in the area
of antimicrobial solution focus on applying antimicrobial agents or materials that can kill
bacteria. The volume pays more attention to eliminating bacterial contamination and biofilm
formation through surface characteristics with minimized bacterial resistance and environmental
impact.
