Biomedical devices are indispensable in modern medicine yet offer surfaces that promote bacterial attachment and biofilm formation, resulting in acute and chronic healthcare-associated infections. We have developed a simple method to graft acrylates... Read More about Making Silicone Rubber Highly Resistant to Bacterial Attachment Using Thiol-ene Grafting.
