Anti-biofilm formation of a novel stainless steel against Staphylococcus aureus
Nan, Li; Yang, Ke; Ren, Guogang (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
Li, Mingjun; Nan, Li; Xu, Dake; Ren, Guogang; Yang, Ke (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 ... -
Antibacterial Performance of Cu-Bearing Stainless Steel against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Whole Milk
Nan, Li; Ren, Guogang; Wang, Donghui; Yang, Ke (2016-05-01)Pathogen microorganisms exist in various environments such as dairy processing facilities. They are not easily eliminated, and significantly raise the risk of bacterial contamination. The inhibition ability of a novel type ... -
Cu-bearing steel reduce inflammation after stent implantation
Li, Jinzhao; Ren, Ling; Zhang, Shuyuan; Ren, Guogang; Yang, Ke (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 ... -
A molecular dynamic investigation of viscosity and diffusion coefficient of nanoclusters in hydrocarbon fluids
Loya, Adil; Stair, Jacqueline L.; Jafri, Ali R.; Yang, Ke; Ren, Guogang (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 ... -
A novel coping metal material CoCrCu alloy fabricated by selective laser melting with antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties
Ren, Ling; Memarzadeh, Kaveh; Zhang, Shuyuan; Sun, Ziqing; Yang, Chunguang; Ren, Guogang; Allaker, Robert P.; Yang, Ke (2016-10-01)OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to fabricate a novel coping metal CoCrCu alloy using a selective laser melting (SLM) technique with antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities and to investigate its microstructure, ...
