Reconciling the Conflict between Optical Transparency and Fouling Resistance with a Nanowrinkled Surface Inspired by Zebrafish's Cornea

Andre E. Vellwock et al.

Summary: This study explores a nonchemical strategy for achieving coexistence of optical transparency and fouling resistance on a single material. By studying nanowrinkled surfaces inspired by the corneal surface of zebrafish, the researchers found that by adjusting the characteristics of the nanowrinkles, they could significantly reduce biofouling and contamination by inorganic particles while maintaining high transmittance and low haze.

Yuanjian Xie et al.

Summary: In this study, cellulose-based films with ZnO nanopillars were prepared, showing excellent properties such as mechanical strength, barrier performance, biodegradability, low migration, and antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The antimicrobial mechanism was studied, revealing different methods of bacterial cell death based on UV pretreatment.

Spiked Nanostructures Disrupt Fungal Biofilm and Impart Increased Sensitivity to Antifungal Treatment

Andrew Hayles et al.

Summary: There is a growing global demand for medically implanted devices, while the incidence of implant associated infection is also increasing. This study explores the interaction between the fungal pathogen Candida albicans and an antimicrobial surface with nanoscale protrusions. The findings suggest that the nanostructured surface can inhibit the growth and hyphal transition of C. albicans, as well as affect the expression of virulence-associated genes. Additionally, the study demonstrates that the antifungal drug amphotericin B is more effective against C. albicans cultured on the nanostructured surface compared to a smooth control surface.

Surface Architecture Influences the Rigidity of Candida albicans Cells

Phuc H. Le et al.

Summary: Atomic force microscopy was used to investigate the morphology and rigidity of Candida albicans during its attachment to surfaces with different nanoscale roughness. The study found that the surface nanoarchitecture, characterized by skewness and kurtosis, directly influenced the rigidity of the yeast cells. This research contributes to the design of antifungal surfaces and highlights the importance of surface roughness characterization to understand cell attachment behavior.

Antifungal versus antibacterial defence of insect wings

Elena P. Ivanova et al.

Summary: The ability of insect wings to resist microbial infestation is a unique feature developed over millions of years of evolution, attributed to nanoscale structures on the wing surface. Experiments revealed the details of how air entrapment on damselfly wing surfaces prevented fungal spores from crossing, while bacterial cells were able to cross and be ruptured upon attachment. Immersion in water for a week demonstrated the robustness of air entrapment and antifungal behavior, confirming a strict Cassie-Baxter wetting regime.

Antifungal effects of ZnO, TiO2 and ZnO-TiO2 nanostructures on Aspergillus flavus

Nasrollah Najibi Ilkhechi et al.

Summary: This study synthesized ZnO, TiO2, and ZnO-TiO2 nanoparticles using the sol-gel method, with ZnO-TiO2 showing higher antifungal activity against A. flavus. The nanostructures inhibited 100% of spore production at a concentration of 300 μg/mL. Additionally, ZnO-TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited both spherical and pyramidal shapes with grown particles on the surface.

Biomimetic and bioinspired surface topographies as a green strategy for combating biofouling: a review

Andre E. Vellwock et al.

Summary: Biofouling is the problematic attachment and colonization of fouling organisms on submerged materials, causing economic losses and maintenance costs. Traditional antifouling methods rely on biocides but harm the environment. Biomimicry offers a more environmentally friendly approach to antifouling.
