Preventing bacterial adhesion onto surfaces: the low-surface-energy approach

Preventing bacterial adhesion onto surfaces: the low-surface-energy approach

Good-quality coatings prepared from poly(methylpropenoxyfluoroalkylsiloxane)s or poly(perfluoroacrylate)s are capable of inhibiting the bacterial colonisation of surfaces.
