The increasing demand for sustainable products requires the development of new knowledge-based materials with advanced properties. These products are then expected to: last longer, have a better performance, be safe, and be more efficient. These requirements, gain particular importance when dealing with applications involving the human body: the so-called biomaterials. Thus, the main aim of these investigations is to contribute to the development of new biomaterials that are able to prevent biofilm formation, since those complex microbial communities are responsible for the undesired reactions such as inflammation and infection, and consequently medical devices rejection.
