The development of microorganisms' colonies creates a three-dimensional structure named biofilm, which helps microorganisms attach to the substratum to survive. The microorganisms' survival strategy process is usually responsible for the corrosion of biomaterial and mediating microbial infection to the user. Different biomaterials are used for human use, such as polymeric, ceramic, metallic, and composite biomaterials. The antimicrobial surfaces on biomaterials are developed by making the surface microbial repelling surfaces, microbes killing surfaces, anti-adhesive surfaces, or biocide releasing surfaces., The topography of the surface has to be modified to restrict the growth of the microbes. One may use any of these techniques, such as the vapour deposition process, sol-gel process, electrical discharge coating process, plasma deposition process, lasers mediated process, electrochemical approach, etc. This modified surface of biomaterial demonstrates inhibition of microbes-mediated corrosion. This review provides a complete insight into how biomaterials become resistant to biofouling-mediated corrosion. |
