Conversely, under specific conditions, they can form biofilms and/or biominerals that create protective layers, reducing the oxidation rate and delaying corrosion. This paper provides a comprehensive ...

Understanding the interplay between nanoparticles, biomaterials and drug molecules in biological environments is important but studying these interactions in complex systems such as biofilms is ...
