Our colleague Ignacio Muro-Fraguas has won the Best Poster Award at the IX Doctoral Conferences G-9 (Engineering and Architecture area) with the poster ‘Application of anti-biofilm coatings by plasma-polymerisation on materials for the food industry and the medical sector‘. His PhD research focuses on the reduction of bacterial adhesion and the consequent production of biofilm …
The third edition of the Institute of Studies of La Rioja (IER) Research Awards recognized the work ‘Application of atmospheric cold plasma (APCP) for the sanitization of oak barrels‘. The work was carried out by researchers from the University of La Rioja (our Group colleagues Elisa Sainz-García, Ana Sainz-García, Rodolfo Múgica-Vidal and Ignacio Muro-Fraguas) and …
This technique, developed and demostrated in a doctoral thesis at the University of La Rioja, is more effective, durable and ecological that current disinfection methods, based on chemical compounds. So far, it has reduce biofilm formation by 50-85% from four of the most common bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) on different …
