The influence of surface topography on bacterial adhesion has been investigated using a range spatially organized microtopographic patterns generated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and three unrelated strains. results presented indicate that cells actively choose their position to settle, differentiating upper lower areas in all the evaluated. Such selective depends cells’ size shape relative dimensions topographical features hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity. Moreover, it was found topographies...
The purpose of this work was to study the adhesion polystyrene two Candida parapsilosis strains, grown at 22 and 37 degrees C, in terms hydrophobicity, surface charge, interaction free energy. Growth temperature changed properties microorganisms, yielding a good correlation between thermodynamic predictions behavior.

The electrical characterization of surfaces in terms the zeta potential (ζ), i.e., electric contributing to interaction energy, is major importance a wide variety industrial, environmental and biomedical applications which integration any material with surrounding media initially mediated by physico-chemical properties its outer surface layer. Among different existing electrokinetic techniques for obtaining ζ, streaming (Vstr) current (Istr) are important when dealing flat-extended samples....
A carbonaceous material (Black Pearls 2000) was used for measurements of heat immersion in water, formamide, n-dodecane, benzene, bromoform, and diiodomethane. Using the values obtained adsorption data from literature, Lifshitz−van der Waals component electron-acceptor electron-donor parameters acid−base surface free energy carbon black have been determined. The found to result mainly intermolecular interactions; however, it can interact with an adherent medium also by forces. parameter is...
ABSTRACT The purpose of this work was to analyze the effect serum on physicochemical surface properties and adhesion glass silicone Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 at 37°C. As is presented using thermodynamics analysis, minimizes interaction cells with water, which correlates well increase in hydrophobicity bacterial silicone.
Abstract Biomaterial implant‐associated infections, a common cause of medical devices' failure, are initiated by bacterial adhesion to an adsorbed protein layer on the implant material surface. In this study, influence surface orientation has been examined using three clinically relevant strains known express specific binding sites for human plasma fibronectin (HFN). HFN was allowed adsorb hydrophobic Ti6Al4V and physically modified hydrophilic substrata. Ellipsometric data reveal that...
The adsorption of a nonionic surfactant (Triton X-100) from aqueous solutions has been studied on six carbon blacks with very different specific surface areas. area occupied per molecule the black and free energy have evaluated isotherms. Also, determined interaction between adsorbent adsorbate through water. results obtained both methods are in good agreement. They indicate that progresses following two processes: first one deals direct molecules, second mainly due to molecules at...
