“…This could be related to the interplay of adhesion, hydrophobicity, surface growth, electrostatic forces, and application of friction of the infecting organisms, as reported in the literature [5,9,23]. The adhesion of coagulase negative staphylococcus and E. coli is faster on positively charged copolymers than on negatively charged copolymers because of the negative charge on bacteria [24]. However, the growth of Gram-negative bacteria decreased on positively charged surfaces.…”

“…Biofilm formation is related to the adhesion and growth of microorganisms. This is why adhesion differs in vitro and in vivo [24]. Gram-positive bacteria have a comparatively thicker and more rigid peptidoglycan layer, which reduces the effective electrostatic force on Gram-positive bacteria.…”

“…Plasma immersion ion implantation has been applied to surface treat poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) [153] to successfully improve the antibacterial properties with specific regard to Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli. This has been further evidenced with Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis on plasma-treated poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) [150,155], E. coli on plasma-treated polyurethane (PU) [152] and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on plasma-treated) PVC [151]. All of which showed a reduction in the adhesion of bacteria to the respective surfaces.…”

“…From research such as this, it is possible to foresee that plasma-based technologies could potentially be used for polymeric biomaterials in order to improve upon their bioactivity for use in biological environments. Plasma surface treatments have also been extensively used in the production of surfaces to control and investigate bacterial adhesion on numerous material types [148][149][150][151][152][153][154][155]. Plasma immersion ion implantation has been applied to surface treat poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) [153] to successfully improve the antibacterial properties with specific regard to Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli.…”

On account of the recent increase in importance of biological and microbiological adhesion in industries such as healthcare and food manufacturing many researchers are now turning to the study of materials, wettability and adhesion to develop the technology within these industries further. This is highly significant as the stem cell industry alone, for example, is currently worth £3.5 million in the United Kingdom (UK) alone. This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art techniques used for surface treatment with regards to modulating biological adhesion including laser surface treatment, plasma treatment, micro/nano printing and lithography, specifically highlighting areas of interest for further consideration by the scientific community. What is more, this review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the current techniques enabling the assessment of the most attractive means for modulating biological adhesion, taking in to account cost effectiveness, complexity of equipment and capabilities for processing and analysis.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) surface was treated by plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII or PI 3 ) in nitrogen. The treatment conditions like acceleration voltage, ion fluence and fluence rate were varied systematically. The PIII-induced alterations in the surface chemical composition and bonding of the constituent elements were studied by XPS. Nanoindentation and nanoscratch measurements were applied to investigate the related changes in the hardness, elastic modulus and wear resistance. Nitrogen PIII treatment of PET led to incorporation of nitrogen and decrease of surface O/C ratio. The bulk plasmon loss energy of the C 1s peak increased, implying compaction of the surface layer. PIII treatment increased the mean surface roughness and hardness (H), and decreased the elastic modulus (E). Process conditions were found, under which a four-fold increase was obtained in the wear resistance. Improvement in wear resistance was accompanied by increase in the H/E ratio.
