Bacterial Attachment to Polymeric Materials Correlates with Molecular Flexibility and Hydrophilicity

Bacterial Attachment to Polymeric Materials Correlates with Molecular Flexibility and Hydrophilicity

A new class of material resistant to bacterial attachment has been discovered that is formed from polyacrylates with hydrocarbon pendant groups. In this study, the relationship between the nature of the hydrocarbon moiety and resistance to bacteria is explored, comparing cyclic, aromatic, and linear...
