Abstract
The project aims at obtaining a new knowledge and understanding of plasma-chemical and thermal processes for preparation and surface functionalization of carbon allotropes (graphene, CNT, diamond, DLC and composites) and their effect on the bacterial attachment and biofilm formation. The standardization will be obtained through the cultivation of bacteria with nanomaterials in a CDC biofilm reactor and through the statistical image analysis. The employment of the various biofilm-forming model bacteria that possess the different adhesive structures will allow for the thorough and wide-scale examination of the anti-adhesive and antibacterial potential of nanomaterials.
