Microbialâmaterial Interfaces for Environmental and Human Health
Design, Function, and Sustainability of Bio-Interactive Materials
About this book
MicrobialâMaterial Interfaces for Environmental and Human Health: Design, Function, and Sustainability of Bio-Interactive Materials provides a comprehensive materials science framework explaining how microbial ecology and biofilm processes at material surfaces govern degradation, transformation, and health risks. Researchers, engineers, and applied scientists will use this content to understand and predict microbial impacts on metals, polymers, minerals, and emerging materials like nanomaterials and 3D-printed structures. This book supports problem-solving at multiple workflow stagesâfrom fundamental research and interface characterization to materials design and risk assessmentâhelping users anticipate biodeterioration, contaminant mobility, antimicrobial resistance, and exposure pathways. It enables the development of safer, more durable, and sustainable materials under environmental and climate pressures.
- Provides mechanistic depth on microbial adhesion, EPS, quorum sensing, and molecular signaling at interfaces
- Integrates interface characterization and modeling tools to support reproducible research and predictive design
- Covers metals, polymers, minerals, bio-based, and waste-derived materials within a unified framework
- Addresses emerging challenges from climate change, antimicrobial resistance, and circular economy systems
- Synthesizes mechanistic insight into actionable guidance for next-generation sustainable bio-interactive materials
