Background: The adhesion ability of microorganisms to the surface of titanium miniplates and screws is one of factors in the development of purulent-inflammatory complications in the postoperative period. One of the solutions to this problem is the use of an ion-plasma coating of mini-plates and screws.
Objective: The aim of the study was to prove a decrease adhesion level of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic bacterium to samples of titanium mini-plates with ion-plasma coating, compared with samples without coating.
Material And Methods: Present opinion about microbial adhesion, how the most important stage of development microbial colonization of abiotic surfaces, was been basis of this study. The strains of aerobic and facultative anaerobic pathogens, as well as the non-spore-forming (non-clostridial) obligate-anaerobic pathogens were used in the research. During the experiments the standard method for determining residual adhesion was applied. The data obtained were processed by the «Biostat 9.0» software package. For the data received by the methods of variational parametric and nonparametric statistics we used the Mann-Whitney test, taking into account the average value, error, and the number of observations (significance of differences at <0.05).
Results: As a result, the differences between the indices residual adhesion of strains aerobic and facultative anaerobic pathogens on the samples with and without a protective coating were statistically reliable, however, the adhesion of the individual species varied. The same differences between the indices residual adhesion were obtained among the strains of obligate anaerobic pathogens. The low level of adhesion, which was observed in the case of using the protective coating, is a very promising way of development, since these microorganisms are dangerous as the may lead to the development of purulent-inflammatory complications and the rejection of implants.
Conclusion: The decreased level of adhesion is a factor which reduces the microbial load during the postoperative period.

The significant volume change experienced by silicon (Si) anodes during lithiation/delithiation cycles often triggers mechanical-electrochemical failures, undermining their utility in high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, we propose a sub micro-nano-structured Si based material to address the persistent challenge of mechanic-electrochemical coupling issue during cycling. The mesoporous Si-based composite submicrospheres (M-Si/SiO/CS) with a high Si/SiOcontent of 84.

Polymer materials are widely used in medicine due to their mechanical properties and biological inertness. When ion-plasma treatment is used on a polymer material, a carbonization process occurs in the surface nanolayer of the polymer sample. As a result, a surface carbonized nanolayer is formed, which has mechanical properties different from those of the substrate.

Nanocoatings formed by various plasma and chemical methods on the surface of polymeric materials have unique properties. However, the applicability of polymeric materials with nanocoatings under specific temperature and mechanical conditions depends on the physical and mechanical properties of the coating. The determination of Young's modulus is a task of paramount importance since it is widely used in calculations of the stress-strain state of structural elements and structures in general.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), , MoS, MoSe, ReS, and WSe, are effective materials for advanced optoelectronics owing to their intriguing optical, structural, and electrical properties. Various approaches for manipulating the surface of the TMDs have been suggested to unleash the optoelectronic potential of the TMDs. Herein, we employed the self-assembly of the poly(styrene--methyl methacrylate) (PS--PMMA) block copolymer (BCP) to prepare a nanoporous pattern and generate nanostructured charge-transfer p-doping on the WSe surface, maximizing the depletion region in the absorber layer.
