Bacterial adhesion performance of poly (tetrafluoroethylene) after surface modification using hydrogen and oxygen low-energy gas discharges

Bacterial adhesion performance of poly (tetrafluoroethylene) after surface modification using hydrogen and oxygen low-energy gas discharges

The bacterial adhesion performance of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTEE) materials is determined using contact angle measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Esherichia coli (E.coli) adhesion tests, and surface free energy calculations. PTFE sampl...
