Surface-kinetics mediated mesoporous multipods for enhanced bacterial adhesion and inhibition

Control of composite nanoparticle topology can be difficult. Here the authors control the topological structure of mesoporous multipods by controlling the number of nucleation sites, and they used the resultant nanoparticles for bacterial adhesion, segregation and antibiotic delivery.
