Modeling Bacterial Attachment Mechanisms on Superhydrophobic and Superhydrophilic Substrates
Superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic substrates are widely known to inhibit the attachment of a variety of motile and/or nonmotile bacteria. However, the thermodynamics of attachment are complex. Surface energy measurements alone do not address the complexities of colloidal (i.e., bacterial) disper...
