Chapter 7 - Biological adhesion behavior of superhydrophobic polymer coating

Abstract

We mention narrative introspection in the field of various superhydrophobic polymer synthesis coated with the sticky biological material during the latest progress. They differ from the hydrophobic type of surface just by showing capability of reduction in bacterial adhesiveness along with simple bacterial cells removal, which enables them as a new idea in the designing of antibacterial. Generally, it is accepted that topography of surface and its roughness can cause a significant impact on adhesion of bacteria. Reduction in adhesion of bacteria on the superhydrophobic surface was the outcome of decrease in protein adsorption as well as air layer entrapped in between cell of bacteria and the surface. Adhesion is affected by charge and shape of bacteria so later study is said to involve different bacteria with various shapes and properties, which will help to employ already existing analytical process. Since cells adhesion is not in control with a synthetic surface, it may lead to biomedical device malfunctioning so cells adhesion must be of significance on the artificial type of surfaces mainly in the field of biomedical. Modification of biomaterials should be in such a manner that they follow the model of the tissue-specific kind of cells in composition and its structure should be with the natural physiological conditions. Therefore, it can be concluded that with greater scientific concentration and interest in this sector, the leading production on a large-scale basis and commercialization of the industry should also enhance.
