This book covers the functionalisation of silicone surfaces with polysaccharides to improve their antimicrobial and antifouling properties, thus reducing the implant-related infections. The authors describe how silicone surfaces were chosen because silicone exhibits excellent biocompatible properties and is already being used for medical implants such as catheters, breast implants, prosthetics etc. The potential of polysaccharides such as cellulose, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and other natural substances such as natural surfactants as coatings for silicones are also discussed, their effects ar...

Dr. Matej Bracic is an expert in studying interactions of molecular and polymer dispersions in liquids with solid surfaces and biological evaluation of both surfaces. His research work is focused on the preparation and characterization of nano and micro-dispersion, the preparation and characterization of solid surfaces by electrospinning, spin-coating, dip-coating and dip-casting methods, interactions with biomolecules (proteins, enzymes, bacteria) and the transfer of knowledge into the field of sensors for the production of bioactive sensors. His bibliography covers 65 units, of which 21 are original scientific articles, 29 are contributions at national and international conferences and 14 are final reports on national and international projects. He has 91 pure citations in the last 10 years and an h index of 7. He received an award at the International Conference IN-TECH 2014: Award for Science and Technology Transfer (World Association of Innovative Technologies) on 12 September2014 in Leiria, Portugal. He is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory for Characterisation and Processing of Polymers, Institute of Engineering Materials and Design, University of Maribor.
