The aim of this research is to investigate the potential of organic/inorganic-based surface modification methods to prevent bacterial attachment to material surfaces. This study presents the sol-gel method, reactive-ion etching method, and dip-coating method to fabricate bacteria repelling hygienic materials. The bacterial populations on hydrophobic nanoporous aerogel, superhydrophobic "rice leaf-like surfaces” (RLLS), superhydrophobically-modified "fluorinated silica nanoparticles" (FSN)-coated latex, FSN-nitrile, and FSN-polyethylene gloves was reduced >99.9% in comparison to bare materials, which already reduce the bacterial attachment to some extent. Overall, the promising bacterial anti-adhesion properties of organic/inorganic-based surface modification, as well as a scalable and facile nature of the application methods can offer a simple solution for enhancing microbiological safety and designing novel multifunctional hygienic materials for healthcare environment. |
