AB - Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are versatile nanomaterials with outstanding properties that can be used in different fields. This chapter reviews the use of single- and multi-walled CNTs in the development of antimicrobial and antifouling surfaces. The performance of CNT-containing surfaces seems to depend on a multiplicity of factors that can be conjugated in order to improve their activity. A substantially higher body of knowledge has accumulated regarding the use of multi-walled CNTs and their composites and exciting developments in CNT modification and combination with different molecules are being reported. Although some of the available results are promising, contradictory findings suggest that further investigation is needed to validate the antimicrobial and antifouling activities of developed surfaces in a wider range of conditions. The existing evidence seems to indicate that CNTs and their composites will remain a promising strategy to delay bacterial adhesion and reduce biofilm formation in very different environments.
