Anti-biofilm formation of a novel stainless steel against Staphylococcus aureus
(2015-06-01)
Abstract Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a bacterium frequently found proliferating on metal surfaces such as stainless steels used in healthcare and food processing facilities. Past research has shown that a novel ...
Antibacterial Performance of a Cu-bearing Stainless Steel against Microorganisms in Tap Water
(2015-03-31)
Tap water is one of the most commonly used water resources in our daily life. However, the increasing water contamination and the health risk caused by pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia ...
A molecular dynamic investigation of viscosity and diffusion coefficient of nanoclusters in hydrocarbon fluids
(2015-03)
Straight chain alkanes modified by metal oxide nanoclusters have gained wide recognition in applications in tribology, energy and thermal storage. This paper investigates the system’s rheological properties and diffusion ...
Cu-bearing steel reduce inflammation after stent implantation
(2015-02)
Copper (Cu)-bearing stainless steel with release of Cu(2+) ions is a novel material for coronary stents that could reduce the in-stent restenosis after the stent implantation. The inflammation has been recently recognized ...
