Biofilm Production: Introduction
- Mesh Application : Form biofilms on a mesh and use our system to detect when formation is complete
- Anti-Barnacle Coating on ships : Can use our system to maintain growth of biofilm which will secrete chemical when it comes in contact with a barnacle / mussel. Mechanism is complex
- Mussels can't attach to hydrophobic substances (http://www.calpoly.edu/~deastlic/surface_chem/home.html)
- Make garbage smell nice !
