Development and characterization of nanotechnological coatings for alimentary and ecotoxicological purposes
This line of research aims to develop nanotechnological coatings with antibacterial action (in the food, clinical, and aquatic fields) to reduce the use of disinfectants and sanitizers and, consequently, the spread of the antimicrobial resistance and toxic residues in food, but also biocompatible nanotechnological coatings capable of promoting cell adhesion to be used in the clinical-pharmacological field as sensors or scaffolds.
Keywords - ENGLISH
Nanotechnological coatings, antimicrobial resistance, biocompatible coatings, cell adhesion
