Next-Generation Antimicrobial Nanocoatings for Medical Devices and Implants provides a detailed, up-to-date overview of nano-based antimicrobial coatings used to combat medical device-related biofilms. An introduction to biofilms and how they infect medical devices is included, as well as strategies/modification techniques used to target these biofilms. This book evaluates the various antimicrobial coatings formed using nanomaterials such as silver, inorganic materials, organic materials, carbon dots, surfactants, and electrospun fibers, specifically for us on medical devices and implants. Numerous coating methods are discussed along with the biological characterizations of these coating materials, and their toxicological and environmental impact.Next-generation Antimicrobial Nanocoatings for Medical Devices and Implants is a useful reference for materials scientists, biomedical engineers, and those working on the development of novel biomaterials for use in medical devices and implants. - Provides a range of nanomaterials for use in antimicrobial coatings, including electrospun fibers, surfactants, carbon quantum dots, and more - Details various modification approaches for targeting biofilms, as well as nanocoating characterization and methods for use on medical devices and implants - Assesses the environmental and toxicological impact of antimicrobial nanocoatings
