Inkjet based 3D Printing of bespoke medical devices that resist bacterial biofilm formation (2020)
Working Paper
He, Y., Begines, B., Luckett, J., Dubern, J., Hook, A., Prina, E., …Wildman, R. D. Inkjet based 3D Printing of bespoke medical devices that resist bacterial biofilm formation

We demonstrate the formulation of advanced functional 3D printing inks that prevent the formation of bacterial biofilms in vivo. Starting from polymer libraries, we show that a biofilm resistant object can be 3D printed with the potential for shape a...

Discovery of (meth)acrylate polymers that resist colonization by fungi associated with pathogenesis and biodeterioration (2020)
Journal Article
Vallieres, C., Hook, A. L., He, Y., Crucitti, V. C., Figueredo, G., Davies, C. R., …Avery, S. V. (2020). Discovery of (meth)acrylate polymers that resist colonization by fungi associated with pathogenesis and biodeterioration.

© 2020 The Authors. Fungi have major, negative socioeconomic impacts, but control with bioactive agents is increasingly restricted, while resistance is growing. Here, we describe an alternative fungal control strategy via materials operating passivel...
