Published: September 2019

In this study, femtosecond laser-induced sub-micrometer structures are generated to modify polyethylene (PE) surface topographies. These surfaces were subjected to bacterial colonization studies with and as test strains. The results reveal that the nanostructures do not influence coverage, while the adhesion of is reduced.
