5. Nanotechnologies

Thanks to nanotechnologies (the science of manipulating objects smaller than 100 nm), new tools have emerged for biofilm prevention and control ( and references cited]. Because of their size, nano-objects have remarkable biological and physicochemical properties. These nanomaterials have very large specific surface areas (surface/volume ratio), which enhances the biological or chemical activities associated with them. Nanomaterials are small enough to penetrate biofilms and bacteria, causing irreversible damage and cell death. Numerous nanoparticles have been tested for their antibiofilm activity. The...
