Abstract
Bacterial biofilm-associated implant infections still pose severe problems in modern implant medicine. In the present study, the antibiofouling material concept of slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) is adapted to the common implant material titanium. First in vitro studies demonstrate the complete inhibition of biofilm adherence and serve as a basis for further investigations towards a novel antibiofilm material for medical applications.
