Abstract: Prosthetic materials are a source of bacterial infections, with significant morbidity and mortality. Utilizing the bionic “Lotus effect,” we generated superhydrophobic vascular prostheses by nanocoating and investigated their resistance to bacterial colonization. Nanoparticles were generated… read more here.
