Surface Properties of a Biocompatible Thermoplastic Polyurethane and Its Anti-Adhesive Effect against <i>E. coli</i> and <i>S. aureus</i>

Surface Properties of a Biocompatible Thermoplastic Polyurethane and Its Anti-Adhesive Effect against <i>E. coli</i> and <i>S. aureus</i>

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a polymer used in a variety of fields, including medical applications. Here, we aimed to verify if the brush and bar coater deposition techniques did not alter TPU properties. The topography of the TPU-modified surfaces was studied via AFM demonstrating no signifi...
