The prevention of pathogen colonization of medical implants represents a major medical and financial issue. The development of antimicrobial coatings aimed at protecting against such infections has thus become a major field of scientific and technological research. Three main strategies are developed to design such coatings: (i) the prevention of microorganisms adhesion and the killing of microorganisms (ii) by contact and (iii) by the release of active compounds in the vicinity of the implant.

- * Researchers investigated the effects of noncovalent host-guest interactions between cyclodextrin and various compounds (like pyrene, ferrocene, and adamantane) on the resulting film structures of neutral poly(N-hydroxypropylmethacrylamide) multilayers.
- * The findings indicate that as the strength of host-guest interactions changes, the film structures transition from isolated aggregates to droplet-like formations and ultimately to smooth continuous films, revealing a complex relationship between interaction strength and film topology.
