Future Scope for the research of biofilm from the viewpoint of materials science

What is it about?

As already described in other chapters, biofouling and biofilm forma­ tion affect our daily lives in various ways. Being able to solve the daily problems that they cause may also help solve many industrial problems. For these purposes, it is very important for us to approach the problems from the viewpoint of materi­ als science and engineering, especially since biofilms mostly form at the interface between organisms and materials. Therefore, it is also important for us, materi­ als scientists, engineers, students, and teachers, etc., to understand biofilm and its related processes in order to investigate the topics in the right and appropriate way. This chapter presents topics for the future that will assist in achieving the purposes mentioned above.
