Graphite nanoplatelets on medical devices kill bacteria and
prevent infections

Graphite nanoplatelets integrated into plastic medical
surfaces can prevent infections, killing 99.99 per cent of bacteria
which try to attach—a cheap and viable potential solution to a
problem which affects millions, costs huge amounts of time and
money, and accelerates antibiotic resistance. This is according to
research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, in the
journal Small.
