Biomaterials-related infections pose serious problems in implant surgery, despite the development of non-adhesive coatings. Non-adhesive coatings, like polymer brush-coatings, have so far only been investigated with respect to preventing initial bacterial adhesion, but never with respect to effects

In the present paper the elastic properties (apparent Young's modulus) of a composite coating (amine-epoxy resin + iron powder up to 40 vol.%) were examined by applying a vibrating reed technique (clamped-free configuration, frequency c.a. 100 Hz). Using tensile lap-shear strength tests (Instron mac
## Abstract Soft coatings are widely used to tailor the surface chemistry of materials without altering their bulk properties. However, the strength of adhesion between the coating and the substrate must be high enough for longβterm applications. This has become a major challenge in the medical fie
