DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.06.003
Abstract: We describe the bactericidal capacity of nanopatterned surfaces created by self-assembly of block copolymers. Distinct nanotopographies were generated by spin-coating with polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) followed by solvent vapor annealing. We demonstrate that the bactericidal efficiency of… read more here.
