The effect of extracts on the adhesion of to 3D printed polyethylene terephthalate and polylactic acid.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polylactic acid (PLA) are among the polymers used in the food industry. In this study, crude extracts of were used to treat the surface of 3D printed materials studied, aiming to provide them with an anti-adhesive property against . The hydrophobicity of treated and untreated surfaces was characterized using the contact angle method.
