“…This strategy is particularly designed for the deposition of rigid monolayers and protein films on a solid substrate. The LS technique was reported as useful in culturing stem cells, , preparation of the bacterial antifouling surface, and immobilization of enzymes . Apart from versatility, LB and LS techniques offer controllable thickness of the film and the deposition at thermodynamically stable conditions .…”

The surface modification of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) using hydroxyapatite (HAP) particles via Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) and Langmuir− Schaefer (LS) approaches has been reported. The HAP monolayer was characterized at the air/water interface and deposited on three-dimensional (3D) printed poly(lactic acid). The deposition of HAP particles using the LS approach led to a larger surface coverage in comparison to the LB method, which produces a less uniform coating because of the aggregation of the particles. After the transfer of HAP on the PLA surface, the wettability values remained within the desired range. The presence of HAP on the surface of the polymer altered the topography and roughness in the nanoscale, as evidenced by the atomic force microscopy (AFM) images. This effect can be beneficial for the osteointegration of polymeric implants at an early stage, as well as for the reduction of the adherence of the microbial biofilm. Overall, the results suggest that the LS technique could be a promising approach for surface modification of PLA by hydroxyapatite with respective advantages in the biomedical field.

“…[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Additionally, some efforts have also been made for the development of helicene-based bioapplications. [34,35] For example, Tanaka et al found that (P)bis(dimethylaminomethyl)helicene displayed chiral selection in binding to left-handed Z-form DNA [36] while Lacour and co-workers investigated the mitochondria-targeted imaging abilities of cationic helicenes and [4]helicene-squalene nanoassemblies in living cells and Chlamydomonas. [37,38] Nevertheless, helicene-based bioimaging is still rarely explored.…”

Illness as the result of ingesting bacterially contaminated foodstuffs represents a significant annual loss of human quality of life and economic impact globally. Significant research investment has recently been made in developing new materials that can be used to construct food contacting tools and surfaces that might minimize the risk of cross‐contamination of bacteria from one food item to another. This is done to mitigate the spread of bacterial contamination and resultant foodborne illness. Internet‐based literature search tools such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus were utilized to investigate publishing trends within the last 10 years related to the development of antimicrobial and antifouling surfaces with potential use in food processing applications. Technologies investigated were categorized into four major groups: antimicrobial agent–releasing coatings, contact‐based antimicrobial coatings, superhydrophobic antifouling coatings, and repulsion‐based antifouling coatings. The advantages for each group and technical challenges remaining before wide‐scale implementation were compared. A diverse array of emerging antimicrobial and antifouling technologies were identified, designed to suit a wide range of food contact applications. Although each poses distinct and promising advantages, significant further research investment will likely be required to reliably produce effective materials economically and safely enough to equip large‐scale operations such as farms, food processing facilities, and kitchens.
