Antibacterial materials have been employed in numerous applications, ranging from biomedical products to packing materials to air-filter systems. The first approach has focused on reducing the capacity of bacteria to attach onto a surface. Some methods to achieve this adhesion resistance rely on the modification of substrates by poly(ethylene glycol) [OST 01] or the use of diamond-like carbon films [ZHA 07], Recently, superhydrophobic surfaces [PAR 05] created via a combination of chemical modifications, such as... 

Over the years, the use of coatings such as HAp for implants and prostheses has gone from being a rarity to being an absolute necessity. A number of excellent studies on adhesion and mechanical properties have been carried out on a range of coatings major ones include HAp, diamond-like carbon (DLC), titanium nitride, titanium oxide, and nickel-titanium (Ben-Nissan et al., 2013). Listed below are some studies carried out on pure HAp and DLC thin films.
