Development of antibiofilm coatings for implants (COATIM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"The aim of the SME-driven COATIM consortium is to tackle the increasing problem of infections due to biofilms, groups of microorganisms that stick together on different surfaces within the human body and escape conventional antibiotic treatment.

SUPERSONIC DEPOSITION OF NANOSTRUCTURED SURFACES (SUPERSONIC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"The basic scientific and technological concept of the project is to use agglomerated nanophased powders to be transferred onto a substrate in the form a coating with very little or none change of crystal structure. This will allow to obtain nano-structured coatings with a crystal size very close to the powder one. The concept will be extended to an important breakthrough concept that is the “Sup ...
