MECHANISMS ASSISTING OR IMPEDING ADHESION IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS. (2005)
Baier,R. E., Shafrin,E. G., Zisman,W. A.
Intimate molecular contact at joint interfaces is essential for the extremely localized surface forces to result in adhesion exceeding the cohesive strength of the joined materials. Liquids, however...
Investigation of the Initial Events in Biofouling. (2002)
Meyer,A. E., Fornalik,M. S., Baier,R. E., Zambon,J. J., Huber,P. S.
The overall goals of this program include: (1) development and certification of methods for the in situ analysis of primary 'conditioning' films and for the in situ speciation of the earliest...
Swain, G., Anil, A.C., Baier, R.E., Conte, E., Cook, A., ...
Little is known about the performance of fouling release coatings at different geographical locations. An investigation was designed to measure the differences in biofouling and biofouling adhesion...
Polyamides, such as the nylons, polypeptides, and proteins, may have variable surface properties as the result of the masking or exposure of surface hydrogen-bonding sites which may greatly influence...

An immunofluorescence technique was developed for the in situ identification of specific bacteria in marine microfouling films. Microorganisms adherent to glass plates after 30 days of immersion in a...

In a series of 756 glutaraldehyde-stabilized umbilical vein grafts implanted over a 7 1/2-year period, aneurysms were identified in seven cases. The earliest aneurysm was seen at 31 months after...
