Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesion to modified polycarbonate surfaces : gold a...
Sousa, Cláudia; Teixeira, P.; Bordeira, S.; Fonseca, J. G.; Oliveira, RosárioBacterial adhesion to a biomaterial surface is thought to be the key step in the infection of indwelling medical devices and constitutes an object of study in the demand to reduce nosocomial infections. In this work, specific modifications on polycarbonate outer layer were utilized as model surfaces for the study of the adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis, one of the main microorganisms responsible for nosoc...
Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesion on modified urea/urethane elastomers
Teixeira, P.; Trindade, A. C.; Godinho, M. H.; Azeredo, Joana; Oliveira, Rosário; Fonseca, J. G.Block urea/urethane co-polymer films present elastomeric properties with the possible tuning of their surface properties within a wide range and are therefore considered relevant surfaces for possible medical applications. In particular, thin free standing films of urea/urethane elastomers with two soft segments, polypropylene oxide and more hydrophobic polybutadiene, develop multistable states with surface top...
Staphylococcus epidermis adhesion on modified urea/urethane elastomers
Teixeira, P.; Trindade, A. C.; Fonseca, J. G.; Azeredo, Joana; Oliveira, Rosário; Godinho, M. H.Block Urea/Urethane copolymer films present elastomeric properties with the possible tuning of their surface properties within a wide range, and are therefore considered relevant surfaces for microbial adhesion studies. In particular, Urea/Urethane elastomers develop multi-stable statesª with surface topography features with remarkable regularity b. Moreover, complex surface structures may be obtained by suitab...
