HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Tugce Caykara and collaborators from the CEB-Centre of Biological Engineering, Universidade do Minho, Campus Gualtar, have published the Article: Can Superhydrophobic PET Surfaces Prevent Bacterial Adhesion?, in the Journal: Nanomaterials 2023, 1117 of /2023/
• what: In this work, polyethylene terephthalate surfaces were modified with in situ growth of silica NPs to increase the durability of the coating through an interfacial bonding , and the obtained surfaces were characterized by contact angle, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering.
• how: Fluorinated NPs treated surfaces prepared in this work comprise a . . .
