A recent study conducted by the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava, Slovakia, explores the use of 3D printing technology to create personalized biomedical devices with antibacterial properties. The researchers incorporated hydrophobic carbon quantum dots (hCQDs) into thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and successfully 3D printed composite materials. These materials exhibited controlled antibacterial action when activated by specific wavelengths of visible blue light, inhibiting the growth of bacteria. The study suggests that 3D printed materials with antibacterial activity have potential applications in personalized medicine and other industries. [Extracted from the article] |
