Surface Engineering Group

Bacterial infection is an enormous problem, whether in healthcare, veterinary practice, or the food industry. Further, the increase in antibacterial resistance means that common approaches to limiting infection are becoming less and less effective.

We have developed a hard wearing, corrosion resistant surface coating that provides long-lasting bacterial resistance. These coatings can be applied to work surfaces, surgical tools, or implants to reduce infection rates and their associated costs.
