Inhibiting bacterial adhesion onto surfaces: the non-stick coating approach
Source abstract
Abstract
The use of low-surface-energy poly(methylpropenoxyfluoroalkylsiloxane) or poly(perfluoroacrylate) coatings as a potential means of inhibiting the bacterial colonisation of surfaces, is described and discussed.
