     Today's paper of the day reviews physical/chemical strategies for controlling biofilms using nanomaterials as antibiofilms. The paper reviews antimicrobial mechanisms achieved by chemical stimulation involving chemical reactions, including ion release, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), suppression of the efflux pump, and inhibition of the synthesis of bacterial metabolites. Also, anti-adhesion mechanisms on superhydrophobic and superhydrophilicity surfaces are used for physical means to achieve antibiofilm.
