Surface Wettability Found Influential in Nanopillar's Antibacterial Ability - AZoNano

Researchers developed silicon (Si) nanopillars of different hydrophobicities from superhydrophilic to superhydrophobic, and investigated their mechano-bactericidal efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Due to their ability to exhibit antibacterial activity without the need for antimicrobial chemicals, nanopillar-textured surfaces have received considerable attention. Despite extensive research on a… [+6575 chars]
