A comparative study on the impact of the carbon nanotubes-modified polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposites on the colonization dynamics of the pioneer biofilm communities
Abstract(#br)In the current study, the AF properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-modified polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposites were examined via the field assays. The impact of the CNTs incorporated in PDMS on the biological colonization and successional dynamics of the pioneer natural biofilm communities was investigated using the single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique.
