Femtosecond Laser Patterning of the Biopolymer Chitosan for Biofilm Formation

Femtosecond Laser Patterning of the Biopolymer Chitosan for Biofilm Formation

Controlling microbial growth is crucial for many biomedical, pharmaceutical and food industry applications. In this paper, we used a femtosecond laser to microstructure the surface of chitosan, a biocompatible polymer that has been explored for applications ranging from antimicrobial action to drug...
