Article Synopsis
  • - The study developed a reusable antibacterial coating using a water-soluble methacrylamide-based copolymer that combines cationic and hydrophobic properties, successfully applied to glass surfaces.
  • - The coated surfaces demonstrated rapid bacterial killing effects on both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, achieving significant bacterial reduction within 5-15 minutes, and maintained effectiveness even after multiple rinses and weeks of use.
  • - The antibacterial coating remained stable and effective after repeated cleanings and sonication, suggesting it can serve as a long-lasting solution to combat bacterial contamination.

Orthopedic and dental implants made from Ti6Al4V are widely used due to their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the long-term performance of these implants can be compromised by bacterial infections. This study explores the development of hierarchically textured surfaces with enhanced bactericidal properties to address such challenges.

Biosensors are analytical devices which find extensive applications in fields such as the food industry, defense sector, environmental monitoring, and in clinical diagnosis. Similarly, intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) and their composites have lured immense interest in bio-sensing due to their various attributes like compatibility with biological molecules, efficient electron transfer upon biochemical reactions, loading of bio-reagent, and immobilization of biomolecules. Further, they are proficient in sensing diverse biological species and compounds like glucose (detection limit ≈0.
