Evaluation of antibacterial properties of polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings by norm tests
Medical implants play a central role in modern medicine and both, naturally derived and synthetic materials have been explored as biomaterials for such devices. However, when implanted into living tissue, most materials initiate a host response. In addition, implants often cause bacterial infections...

Medical implants play a central role in modern medicine and both, naturally derived and synthetic materials have been explored as biomaterials for such devices.
