Abstract(#br)Microbial infection is one of the most serious problems in the field of medical devices, particularly in implants. Herein, we have designed and constructed a (mucin/poly(ethyleneimine)) n ((mucin/PEI) n ) multilayer film using a layer-by-layer self-assembly method and the grafting of antimicrobial peptides to enhance the bactericidal efficacy. Water contact angle measurements and atomic force microscopy images revealed that the hydrated multilayer film created a highly hydrophilic surface with a low roughness.

Abstract(#br)Biological contamination of surfaces is a thorny issue that brings series of adverse factors to the daily life and industrial manufacture. A dragonfly-wing-mimicking nanopillar array of ZnO/Au on Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS-ZnO/Au) with two-fold bactericidal activity as well as the antiadhesive property has been developed. In this process, ZnO nanopillar is obtained using a hydrothermal method followed by the introduction of plasmonic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) via a photo-reduction protocol.
