    Surface Engineering of Materials: A Review Based on Applications

    By Dipankar Pal, Sai Rohith Muvva, Sunkari Satya Prasanth, A V Sridhar

    Abstract: Surface characteristics of material play an important role for various applications. Like, there are many applications of the polymeric membranes in the fields of biomedical, filtration, food processing from the past few decades. But various problems have been faced in their applications due to bacterial and non-bacterial contamination on the surfaces. Many researchers have investigated the surface chemistry and roughness of the membranes to identify their properties and the difficulties …

    Antibacterial Surfaces: A Comprehensive Review

    By Jayadeekshitha M., Nistala Venkata Subrahmanyam, Karthik raj, Dipankar Pal

    Abstract: Microbial communities adhere to surfaces and colonize themselves. Challenges such as microbial infections are, especially, observed on the surface associated with various medical products. In this review, the authors made efforts to maintain the balance of clarity among different types of antibacterial surfaces that exhibit anti-biofouling or bactericidal or both with the help of present advancements. Besides, this review paper categorised different approaches to modify the surface to antibacterial surfaces …

    Surface modification of polymeric membranes using plasma treatment: A comprehensive review

    By Karthik raj, Nistala Venkata Subrahmanyam, Deekshitha M, Dipankar Pal

    Abstract: In the contemporary science era, polymer membranes have a wide range of services. Polymeric membranes have very good bulk properties having potential applications in various processing industries.These membranes can be even modified using various techniques. The surface modifications of membranes to incorporate various hydrophilic functional groups without changing the bulk properties has gained popularity. The surface becomes hydrophilic because new polar functional groups are formed. For instance, after oxygen and …
