چکیده

A new class of bacteria-attachment-resistant materials is discovered using a multi-generation polymer microarray methodology that reduces bacterial attachment by up to 99.3% compared with a leading commercially available silver hydrogel anti-bacterial material. The coverage of three bacterial species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and uropathogenic Escherichia coli is assessed.

Polymer Microarrays for High Throughput Discovery of Biomaterials

The discovery of novel biomaterials that are optimized for a specific biological application is readily achieved using polymer microarrays, which allows a combinatorial library of materials to be screened in a parallel, high throughput format (1). Herein is described the formation and characterization of a polymer microarray using an on-chip photopolymerization technique (2). This involves mixi...

High throughput methods applied in biomaterial development and discovery.

The high throughput discovery of new bio materials can be achieved by rapidly screening many different materials synthesised by a combinatorial approach to identify the optimal composition that fulfils a particular biomedical application. Here we review the literature in this area and conclude that for polymers this process is best achieved in a microarray format, which enable thousands of cell...

Engineering serendipity: High-throughput discovery of materials that resist bacterial attachment.

UNLABELLED Controlling the colonisation of materials by microorganisms is important in a wide range of industries and clinical settings. To date, the underlying mechanisms that govern the interactions of bacteria with material surfaces remain poorly understood, limiting the ab initio design and engineering of biomaterials to control bacterial attachment. Combinatorial approaches involving high-...

Chemically diverse polymer microarrays and high throughput surface characterisation: a method for discovery of materials for stem cell culture

Materials discovery provides the opportunity to identify novel materials that are tailored to complex biological environments by using combinatorial mixing of monomers to form large libraries of polymers as micro arrays. The materials discovery approach is predicated on the use of the largest chemical diversity possible, yet previous studies into human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) response to p...

Analysis and prediction of defects in UV photo-initiated polymer microarrays.

Polymer microarrays are a key enabling technology for the discovery of novel materials. This technology can be further enhanced by expanding the combinatorial space represented on an array. However, not all materials are compatible with the microarray format and materials must be screened to assess their suitability with the microarray manufacturing methodology prior to their inclusion in a mat...
