This SEM image shows bacteria on a microscopic coated pillar. In this study, @CrickGroup @QMULSEMS @abish_stephen explore how topology, specifically the spacing of tiny pillars, affects the antibacterial properties of superhydrophobic surfaces. 👉ow.ly/MBut50NuFqQ

Correction; without the use of biocides.

Report on optimising surface morphology for the repulsion of bacteria. These surfaces were able to repel 99.9% of bacteria by simply structuring the surface (with the use if biocides). @QMULSEMS and @QMULBartsTheLon doi.org/10.1002/admi.2…
