Performance of Graphene/Polydimethylsiloxane Surfaces against <i>S. aureus</i> and <i>P. aeruginosa</i> Single- and Dual-Species Biofilms

Performance of Graphene/Polydimethylsiloxane Surfaces against <i>S. aureus</i> and <i>P. aeruginosa</i> Single- and Dual-Species Biofilms

The increasing incidence of implant-associated infections has prompted the development of effective strategies to prevent biofilm formation on these devices. In this work, pristine graphene nanoplatelet/polydimethylsiloxane (GNP/PDMS) surfaces containing different GNP loadings (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 wt%...
