A finite element model to determine the bactericidal and cytotoxic properties of nanopatterned surfaces: A parametric study

The fundamentals of the nanopatterned surface can be found on the wings of cicada. These bactericidal surfaces are artificially mimicked on the surface of the implant to reduce the infection rate, which is one of the main complication after joint replacement. The bactericidal properties of the nanopatterned surface are a promising feature....
