Nanostructured superhydrophobic silver surfaces on anodized aluminum substrates for antibacterial applications
EF 2013-14
Résumé
Bioaerosols from water based cooling towers are blamed for the pneumonia outbreaks. Also, many foodindustries are facing difficulties to control the food pathogens as they are more resistant to disinfectants. Inboth cases the main cause is the formation of biofilms of bacteria or pathogens. In order to put an end to thisissue, PARADN Biotechnologie, specialized in molecular detection of human pathogens, would like to obtainantibacterial surfaces. In the proposed study, we will prepare antibacterial nanostructured superhydrophobicsilver surfaces on anodized aluminum substrates for their needs. The results of this work will provide a goodplatform for PARADN specializing in the biotechnological industries to control bacterial growth on coolingwater towers as well as in food industries, hence contributing to the enhancement of public health security andat the same time economical growth of PARADN. The outcome of this project will have an impact on theindustrial growth and competitiveness of the region of Saguenay as well as Quebec and Canada.
