Superhydrophobic, Nanotextured Polyvinyl Chloride Films For Delaying Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Attachment To Intubation Tubes And Medical Plastics

Abstract

Bacterial attachment onto the surface of polymers in medical devices such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is influenced by the physicochemical properties of the polymer, including its surface hydrophobicity and roughness. In this study, to prevent biofilm fo
