A team developed the coating, which has flexible sensors and a a nanostructured antibacterial surface, according to the university. They found the coatings prevented infections in live mice and mapped strain in sheep.
Next, the researchers plan to develop wireless power and data communications interfacts for the coatings. They’re also aiming to develop large-scale production of their nanopillar-textured bacteria-killing foil.
The research was published in Science Advances.
