Prevention of biofilm formation by bacteria is critical importance to areas that directly affect human health and life including medicine, dentistry, food processing water treatment. This work showcases an effective affordable solution for reducing attachment several pathogenic commonly associated with foodborne illnesses medical infections.Our approach exploits anodisation create alumina surfaces cylindrical nanopores diameters ranging from 15 100 nm, perpendicular the surface. The anodic...
To reduce the severe health risk and huge economic impact associated with fomite transmission of SARS-CoV-2, an imidazolium-based zwitterionic polymer was designed, synthesized, demonstrated to achieve contact deactivation a human coronavirus under dry ambient conditions that resemble transmission. The further excellent antifouling properties, reducing adhesion formation bacteria biofilms wetted conditions. synthesized using substrate-independent solvent-free process, leveraging all-dry...
Abstract Irradiation with deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV LEDs) is emerging as a low energy, chemical-free approach to mitigate microbial contamination, but the effect of surface conditions on treatment effectiveness not well understood. Here, inactivation L. innocua and E. coli ATCC25922, examples Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria, respectively, by DUV LED 280 nm wavelength was studied. Surface scenarios commonly encountered in environmental, clinical or food processing...
AbstractThis work reports on a simple, robust and scientifically sound method to develop surfaces able reduce microbial attachment biofilm development, with possible applications in medicine, dentistry, food processing, or water treatment. Anodic cylindrical nanopores 15 100 nm diameter were manufactured incubated Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 Listeria innocua. Surfaces 25 pore diameters significantly repressed formation. Surface–bacteria interaction forces calculated using the extended...
Due to the emergence of wide-spread infectious diseases, there is a heightened need for antimicrobial and/or antifouling coatings that can be used prevent infection and transmission in variety applications, ranging from healthcare devices public facilities. While kill pathogenic bacteria upon contact with surface, function alone often lacks long-term effectiveness due accumulation dead cells their debris on thus reducing performance coating over time. Therefore, it desirable develop dual...
Bacterial spores present in milk can cause quality and shelf-life issues for dairy products. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness microfiltration (MF) removing Bacillus licheniformis Geobacillus sp. from skim using membranes with pore sizes 1.4 1.2 µm, investigate role spore surface properties MF removal. Cell determined by scanning electron microscopy, charge zeta potential analysis, hydrophobicity contact angle measurements. Commercially pasteurized was...
Conformal coating of ultrahigh-aspect-ratio nanostructures with functional polymer thin films is highly desirable in many applications, ranging from biosensing to energy storage. Nevertheless, achieving uniform surface coverage on challenging due the difficulty controlling molecular transport and reaction kinetics under nanoconfinement. Here we demonstrated conformal nanopores by nanolayers deposited using initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) unraveled fundamental mechanisms governing...
Abstract This study investigates the antimicrobial effectiveness of 405 nm light emitting diodes (LEDs) against pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes , Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella Typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus in thin liquid films (TLF) on solid surfaces. Stainless steel (SS), high density polyethylene (HDPE), low (LDPE), borosilicate glass were used as materials typically encountered food processing, service, clinical environments. Anodic aluminum oxide...
Abstract Amphiphilic copolymers (AP) represent a class of novel antibiofouling materials whose chemistry and composition can be tuned to optimize their performance. However, the enormous chemistry‐composition design space associated with AP makes performance optimization laborious; it is not experimentally feasible assess validate all possible compositions even use rapid screening methodologies. To address this constraint, robust model development paradigm reported, yielding versatile...
