摘要:
The present invention describes methods and compositions for the reduction, prevention and elimination of biofilm formation on a surface. The present invention provides a method of depositing a coating material to reduce or prevent biofilm formation on a surface by adding a dopamine coating material to a liquid solvent to form a solution mixture, adjusting a pH of the solution mixture to 8, 9, or 10 and dissolving the dopamine coating material in the liquid solvent. The solution mixture is then placed into contact with one or more surfaces to form a dopamine coating on the surface to reduce biofilm formation.

摘要:
The present invention encompasses methods and apparatus for creating metal nanoparticles embedded in a carbonaceous char, the conversion of an carbonaceous char with embedded metallic nanoparticles to graphite-encased nano-sized metal particles surrounded by char, the separation of the graphite encased metal particles from the char matrix, and the related preparation and isolation of carbon nanosphere materials with or without the enclosed metal nanoparticles, and the uses of such carbon nanospheres and graphite enclosed metal nanoparticles as supports and enhancers for fuel cell electrocatalysts and other applications.
