2020, Materials Chemistry and PhysicsCitation Excerpt :Antimicrobial activity, susceptibility to chemical modifications, and high mechanical strength distinguish chitosan from other biopolymers. This makes chitosan often used in surface modification of polymeric and metallic medical implants, devices, and other biomaterials [27,28]. For instance, Chua et al. observed the improvement of osteointegration (enhanced osteoblast biological functions) and simultaneous inhibition of bacterial adhesion on Ti implants after their functionalization with hyaluronic acid and chitosan [29].
Bacterial biofilm formation on implantable devices and approaches to its treatment and prevention
2018, HeliyonCitation Excerpt :Such correlations can help modify and optimize the surface of a material in order to prevent bacterial adhesion. Thus, such factors are investigated for modifying the biomaterial surfaces in order to prevent infection [130, 131, 160, 161]. Photodynamic therapy is based on the production of reactive oxygen species when light absorbing compounds (photosensitizers) react with light and oxygen.
