Green Materials Science and Engineering Reduces Biofouling: Approaches for Medical and Membrane-based Technologies
Numerous engineered and natural environments suffer deleterious effects from biofouling and/or biofilm formation. For instance, bacterial contamination on biomedical devices pose serious health concerns. In membrane-based technologies, such as desalination and wastewater reuse, biofouling decreases...
